Gel Nail Prep and Professional Nail Care: Analyze, Consult, and Customize Every Manicure

Gel Nail Prep and Professional Nail Care: Analyze, Consult, and Customize Every Manicure

It’s important to remember that every client has unique nail needs–there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.  First, analyze your client’s nails. What are you seeing? Are they healthy, thin, flexible, soft, asymmetrical, or damaged? Next, discuss your client’s lifestyle and preferences. Do they have known allergies or sensitivities to HEMA or prefer a HEMA-free service? Are they looking for added durability? Once you have a clear picture of your client’s needs, make your recommendation.

Remember, proper gel nail application consultation leads to better results and happier clients, so take the time to analyze, consult, and customize every gel manicure with your GelColor service for optimal nail health and satisfaction.
