I wish I could spend an intensive week with you guys. As a nail tech it would be a game changer for sure.

Our week long courses are AMAZING! Maybe next year we can start doing them again! 💅🏻💖✨

Melissa I love your tutorials because you explain everything so clearly and in enough detail for those of us who may not have the same training as a professional nail tech. Actually, all the YN tutorials are like that and why I keep coming back to this channel.

Except for the “equal parts” of “4 parts one color and 1 part another.”😂 Or 4 parts one color and 1/4 of white.😂🤣

At first I was shocked at the amount but her comment saying she could have seen another client and easily made more if the request was simpler opened my eyes. This is so beautiful. Really amazingly done!!

I was kind of shocked too but then you also have to think about where they are located. This would be alot for nails where I live but then I also happen to live in a very rural area. I cannot wait to try this for myself

I am loving Melissa is becoming more and more regular in the videos!🥰 You add Greg, Tracey and Melissa's teachings and tutorials, YOU NEED NOT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE, PERIOD! 🤷🏼‍♀️😁 I was watching others for about 2 years and I got the jist of sculpting and art, (no shade to others, I just find YN easiest for me to understand) But I could never get everything quite right.... even using tips instead of forms, lol....... Found YN, boom and my life has changed in the nail world, which boosted confidence in my whole life... I sculpt so well now, mostly I use hard gels, and I never use tips, just my personal preference, but you all and your products have done wonders for me, thank you😍🥰

The "Things I wish I knew about Hard gel as a beginner Nail tech!"` I am going back after this 1, to your video where I first saw you and you showed us the Kaleidescape nails... The dimension nails are what I am obsessed with, lol. I have almost all the YN gel from their kit, and I'm gonna follow your tutorial 😁 Thanks again, Melissa🤩

How much really helps me with pricing range with my press ons since I don’t have my license yet but I work on myself for years and the really leveled up when I invested in YN products from polygel

Thank you Melissa! I absolutely love how you explain EVERYTHING so clearly for everyone to understand. Whether their a nail tech or a DIYer. I'm a DIYer and this helps so much and I always learn from all of you guy's! All of the tutorials are explained really well, not trying to offend anyone. Today Melissa did something she normally doesn't do and I love how she has the guts to try new things. 🤗♥️ Much love to all of you guy's! You have me keep coming back so I can learn so many new things.

Meticulous!! So perfect. Love your work and the way you explain everything for us.

I think the charging per minute is very interesting. I know that not all nail art is equal and the prices should be different but there is so much that its hard to keep the pricing simple but still charge what your work is worth so that is something to think about. 🙂 that set is beautiful. Its inspiration for my next set for sure! I'll do it on myself though and get my husband to pay me for it. Ya think?? 🤣

I want to see you guys using mission control gel to create a character/cartoon etc, to see how well they work for gel painting.

Wow almost fell off my chair @ $195. Very pretty though. I would never get that where I live and if I tried I would loose the little clients I do have As I'm just starting to build my clientele. I MAY get away with $130 TOPS! LOL

Thanks for this. Here’s what I don’t like about the concept of charging per minute for nail art. I feel like it opens a potential Pandora’s Box of problems. Some clients are going to get very antsy about being charged per minute and they are going to rush you along. Then, I can see some clients not being satisfied and claim that you worked too fast or you went too slow, etc. Further, I don’t want to be under the gun while I’m trying to create a beautiful design for my customer. That would be way anxiety inducing for me personally. I do understand that it may be an ideal set up for some nail techs, though.

😍😍😍!

Some of my gel isnt curing properly. Is it my gel or my lamp lights. Would love a video on how to know without buying a new lamp!

Do you guys carry that spatula to mix the gel on your website? I’ve looked and cannot find it. Thanks!

Just look up "palette knife" on Amazon.. they even sell sets of various sizes depending on your needs as it's primarily used for painters. I like to have more than 1 to use for different colors if you're trying to mix up alot quickly, instead of wiping after every swipe and a glitter one since glitter gets stuck sometimes. 🙂

When you charge for the custom color mixing, is that because the client requested special colors? And, do you inform the client of the charge prior to the design? You have a special talent for nails, but you are also a very talented teacher.

@sarahb7254

As a customer, if I want something custom, I ask for pricing up front. On the rare occasions I've forgotten, I've been told up front. Usually custom = more time, and we all know time is money

@Hbomb411

2 жыл бұрын

Imo, you should ALWAYS inform the client of the pricing up front or at least a very close ball-park figure. This should hopefully eliminate problems with folks who have a strict budget, those not be able to pay that much or others who flat our refuse to pay for all your extra services rendered when you've finished busting your butt on their nails. It's awful, but it unfortunately seems to be reality, especially, when taking new clients you don't know yet. Know your worth love, make sure they know it too 🥰😉
