Q & A: Levels of Nail Services

What procedures and materials will you use when doing an “ultimate” manicure and pedicure that makes that service level different from the “essential” ones?

Ellen Marie

 

Hi Ellen Marie,

 

The “ultimate” nail services will be our highest service level. These services will automatically include a hot stone massage and a paraffin dip. Plus, you’ll get the full OPI pedicure system from top to bottom, including a scrub and a mask — which will sometimes be themed for the season. For example, we might incorporate OPI’s new Tea & Espresso line to create a Tea Pedi. I’ve dubbed these signatures services Rob|b “seasonal surprises.”

 

The “essential” manicures and pedicures will be our most basic offering. They will still use the OPI product line, but will incorporate fewer products. And extras like paraffin will be an additional fee.

 

Regards,

Robbie

co-owner

I don't know Robbie if your salon will offer handpainted nail designs but the first thing she will need to do is pack herself with a variety of brushes, polishes, acrylic paints and cosmetic wedges. Then she will need to make some traces in a tile or a piece of paper. With fine brushes we make lines, depending the size of the brushes we will make short, medium and long lines.
The cosmetic wedges are to apply paint as a base for buffered acrylic nails.
She can make flowers, butterflies and even landscapes if she uses her imagination. There are books and videos in stores or online available to help her on this matter.

She can make airbrushed designs too.

Hey Robbie, are you going to offer freehand painted nail art?

What is your idea about your service menu when it concerns a wide list of services offered vs. a minimum list of services offered? Do you think it benefits the general public to offer them many different kinds of services or just confuses them? Rebecca
