So i’ve been qualified in acrylic and gel nails now for about a year and a half now… i don’t do them all the time or really advertise that i do them much so don’t have regular clients and i also work full time so can only do nails in and evening or on my days off. As i don’t do nails regularly, probably do a set or 2 a month. My acrylic work isn't perfect as i don’t do them enough to perfect my application and it takes me a while to do them probably around 3 hours for an intricate set. I’ve found i will get people who will come to me about 2 times then i will never see them again and they go elsewhere. I know its probably as it takes so long so i can understand that’s why they go elsewhere but i think my work looks decent for the prices i charge. ( £22 for plain acrylics and £25 for nail art or ombre/french nails and for gels (£12 plain and £15 for french or design) these roughly take under an hour for just gels. Has anyone got any advice on how to maintain clients ?? I want to eventually make nails my full time job but seems impossible when i can’t build a client base. I’m going to try paying for some advertisment on facebook and see if this brings in any nee people and i’m going to try practising a but more in my free time to speed up but apart from this any suggestions as it’s really disheartening when i see people who have used me go elsewhere. I will attach some pics of my work
