Getting the party started ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ’ป
Hi everyone! Hope you've all had an awesome weekend ๐Ÿ’› Sorry for being a bit on the quiet side, but I have had some family visiting from overseas. They will be returning home on the 28th, so I'll be back in full swing from the 29th ๐Ÿซถ In the meantime, I'd love your input: what live sessions would be the most valuable for you? Nail art is already a given (weโ€™ve got that cooking ๐Ÿ‘€), so Iโ€™m trying to figure out what my next priority should be. Iโ€™ll have some time this week to map things out so we can hit the ground running. Okay thank you, bye! โœจ

If anyone here does dual forms I'd love to see that. Application in general - I love seeing people's technique and always learn little tips and tricks.

@Chloe Payne I use https://www.nailsaustralia.online/ for my efile bits and they're great quality, huge range and decent prices. They also sell a range of other tools.
Consistency Builds Trust ๐Ÿซถ
Not only is posting regularly good for your algorithm, but it also shows clients youโ€™re active and reliable. Even 2โ€“3 posts a week can keep your page looking alive and welcoming. ๐Ÿ’›

I suck at this so badly! I've thought about it loads but rarely action it.
Less Is More ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ
Apexes donโ€™t need to be thick or bulky. The goal is a gentle curve that blends seamlessly into the rest of the nail. Often, beginners build too much product when a subtle lift would do the job. ๐Ÿซถ

My current educator (I'm doing combined manicure and hard gel) calls it a hidden or invisible apex. I like that because the apex is important but shouldn't be a 'feature' point of the nail.
So what does โ€œfully bookedโ€ mean?
This is a chat i think needs to be in the open! Fully booked can depend on alot! So often we see techs posting โ€œfully bookedโ€ all the time and if your not fully booked it can be hard to see and compare yourself, why are they booked out and your struggling to fill your appointments, but reality is they could be fully booked only having room for a few clients a week around other work or family commitments, or .. they could be blocking off spaces in their booking system to condense appointments with less gaps and opening spaces where needed to create โ€œurgencyโ€ for clients to book and not miss out! Social media really shows us just a snippet of what people want us to see and not the reality! So lets open up this chat ! How many clients on average do you see per week and how many does it take to be fully booked? ill post mine in the comments!

I have a beauty salon where I do facial waxing, brows & lashes and body contouring as well as nails. Different services have different time requirements so my 'fully booked' looks different too. I also work around my kids after school activities and my husbands work schedule and I don't work Sundays. So today I was close to fully booked because I started at 9am and finished at 6pm with a 1 hour break but technically I could have fit another lash or brow client.
The whole brand thing ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Ok, so I know this comes up a lot in the FB group we came from - brands! And when we ask for recommendations we get all the brand owner/ambassador stuff. With that out of the picture here I'd love to know everyone's genuine fave, reliable, go to choices for BIAB/builder gel, rubber base gels and hard gels. I feel like I'm always trialling new stuff to find systems I love and I would love to lock down some ride or die options lol.
