Hi, I am about to open my own salon, and have decided to stock Shellac, is this enough do you think? Or should I also have another gel to offer? Shellac doesn't have any strength, so is it acceptable to offer a hard clear gel over the top or should I stock another system.
Ideally I would like bio gel, but it's to expensive. So at moment I am considering gelish?
Any comments on OPI gel also?
Any suggestions/opinions would be much appreciated.
 
Try IBD gel it's fab! Iv tried shellac orly and gelux and IBD is fab! they do amazing colours To!
 
You cannot put a hard gel over gel polish. You'll need a whole system.
 
I have shellac, gelish & bio. Shellac and gelish are the most popular
 
You can put hard gel UNDER Shellac but not over it.

CND Shellac is the only colour brand I offer, however if clients need something extra I also offer hard gel or acrylic. So far I haven't come across a type of nail I can't deal with by just using these products.
 
Gel ll is really good. Also they have their removable gel line called skyscraper, foundation gel can go under gel ll or be used for enhancements and glass can be put over the top of gel ll colour before top coat to add strength to the natural nails.

If you only offer shellac you're going to be presented daily with situations you can't deal with

Like pure I offer hard gel, l&p and shellac and can cope with any nail situation I am presented with [emoji2]

I just can't bear to tell people I can't do stuff.

Do you charge the same for shellac & Gelish?
 
In my salon £20 shellac & £25 gel
Gel lasts longer...
 
Same price for shellac/gelish/gel2 here. Only more for bio
 
I personally wouldn't charge same for shellac & Gelish. Xx
