Extras-Gel polish charges?

[BeautyNerds]

Just wondering if when doing your gel or acrylic enhancements do you charge extra for gel polish to finish?

My prices are:
Gel extensions £28.00 (French or natural)

*iv been putting this treatment on offer as I wanted to gain more experience before charging full whack but I wanted the final price in my price lists so clients wouldn't think id put my prices up by to much*

+£5 for gel polish.

Iv now switched to IBD which is cheaper than what I was using so I was thinking off dropping the add on price to +£3.50 OR raising my price to £30 for a full set including gel polish/French or natural?

What do you guys think? Or what do you do?

I charge £30 for a full set and an extra £5 for shellac on top as its more expensive than traditional polish xxx

So if I put a charge on of £3.50 then that's reasonable I would think if your charging £5 for shellac.
Thank you for the reply! Nice to know what others do xxx

Why do people charge more for French - Is it because it takes longer to do?
I never thought about charging more for a gel French polish! It does take a lot longer to do. What's forever French??
Thank you! Xxx

I would just charge £5 extra anyway. It doesn't matter if it's cheaper than Shellac.
It will still take you the same amount of time to apply and that's what we charge for really.
The difference in price per treatment will be pennies, so don't charge £1.50 less.

Agree with the above comment!

I charge an extra £5 for shellac on top of enhancements, this is a fairly frequently asked question on here and I know some geeks charge a lot more than that! Although I think £5 is fair. (but may increase to £6 soon)

I charge £25 for french acrylic and £30 for artistic, coloured acrylic and shellac
So another who charges £5 more.
Dont under sell yourself, it still takes time and money x

Thanks girlies!

I doubt myself a lot and think I could be over charging but deep down I know I'm not. My clients are more than happy to pay the prices and have never said anything about the prices being to high.

I put gel polish 1/2 price if over enhancements so £10 extra and I charge £25 for gel nails so they feel like they're getting a bargain! X
