na0812WebTOC.indd 31 6/22/12 9:36 AM
} {
So I was in a nail salon a few weeks ago getting pedicures with
a friend. Id soaked off my gel-polish and needed a good callus
treatment. There I was, incognito (I didnt mention that Im
the editor of a NAILS Magazine because I wanted to be undisturbed while I
caught up on the latest Kardashian antics) and my friend yelps ouch! I turn
my head to see whats happened and realize that the hot oil soak the nail tech
had prepared for her was scorching hot. The tech apologized profusely and they
went about their business as I pushed my nose back in the trashy magazine.
Not ve minutes later I hear my friend grumbling. Now the manicurist has cut
her skin with the cuticle nippers. So I leaned over and whispered to my friend
to tell her tech not to cut but just to push back her cuticles (technically
the eponychium, but I wasnt interested in educating my friend on proper nail
terminology). I know some nail techs do cut the eponychium, but my preference
is to just have it pushed back. Sure, if there are some stray pieces of skin that can
easily be nipped off, Im ne with it, but I dont want someone taking the nippers
and cutting live skin around my nail bed.
So she asked the nail tech to just push back the skin and remove any dead
cuticle from her nail plate. And the manicure continued. Mind you, my pedi-
cure is going swimmingly no complaints, lovely massage, a very thorough
callus removal, and nice attention to cleaning up my feet (which are surpris-
ingly a mess for someone who gets pedicures as often as I dobut hey, I live in
ips ops at the beach and my feet denitely take a beating). Next thing I know
my friend is raising her voice again, this time because the towels were too hot.
(Just to be clear, we werent at a discount salon, but at a mid-level, what Id call,
boutique salon.)
At this point, I would have said something to the tech and probably asked to
speak to the owner. Thats just one too many mistakes during a single (simple)
service to overlook. Maybe the tech was new. Maybe she was having a particu-
larly bad day and her mind was elsewhere. But it wasnt acceptable. And my
friend was too timid to ask for the manager, so she just shrugged it off.
What I want to know is why do regular salon customers put up with this type
of service? If you said ouch during a dental exam three times wouldnt you
think something wasnt quite right? I just dont get it when customers put up
with an uncomfortable, or downright painful, service. I like to be asked if the
temperature is OK or warned that the water might be hot and to go slowly. I
appreciate it when a tech asks me if Id like my cuticles cut or just pushed back.
It shows she knows this service is about me.
Im trying to educate my friends, one bad service at a time, but it doesnt seem
to sink in. How do we go about shifting the mindset of consumers so they appre-
ciate the difference between a skilled and knowledgeable nail technician whose
service is customer-centric and professional, and a service that is low-end by a
nail tech who seems disengaged? If the client doesnt expect more from her nail
technician, why is the nail technician going to expect any more from herself?
I dont know what the answer is beyond teaching clients (by showing them)
that a nail service, when done right, can be a blissful experience. Id really like to
hear what you think. E-mail me your suggestions or post them on our Facebook
page so I can share thoughts with our readers.
How Do We Shift
Expectations?

I have worked as a nail
technician for more than
25 years. And thats how
long I have been receiving
NAILS Magazine every
year, every month. When I
get home with the mail and see my new issue I sit
down right away and open my NAILS Magazine.
It encourages me. I love checking out the new
products, new colors, and more. Chica loves for me
to share it with her too.

London College of Beauty Therapy (LCBT) raised
approximately 1,000 at its Guinness World
Records attempt in May benetting two charities:
Rays of Sunshine and The Eve Appeal. Students at
the central London College worked for eight hours
to complete 2,219 mini-manicures. LCBT was the
rst to ever set the record for the most nails led
and varnished in eight hours back in 2010 with
1,897 mini-manicures and are pleased to have raised
so much money for two very worthy causes while
beating its original record.
Students were privileged to work alongside
celebrity nail technician Andrea Fulerton, while
special guests Aston and JB from boy band JLS also
took part in the challenge. This event was about
giving our learners the opportunity to be part of
something that they would never usually have been
able to experience, says Eileen Cavalier, CEO of
LCBT. Taking part in a Guinness World Records
attempt will look great on their CVs when they
qualify and seek employment.
Beauty College Beats Its
Own Guinness World
Record for Manicures
Celebrity manicurist Lisa Logan was honored at Essence Magazines rst annual Best in
Black Beauty Awards in May. The lifestyle publication for African-American women created

presidential inauguration, being named Best Manicurist in Star Magazines Beauty Awards

created the distinctive nail fashion for Italian Vogues March 2012 cover feature photographed

FALL/WINTER 2012
OPI_insert_August.indd 1 7/3/12 2:55 PM
As we bid Auf Wiedersehen to summer
and say Hallo to fall, one thing remains
the sameour passion for fashion. And
designers did not disappoint for Fall
2012, as runways romanced us with
alluring textures and decadent colors
complemented beautifully by the
stunning new shades in the Germany Collection by OPI.
Inspired by what fashion editors are calling Europes
hottest new fashion metropolis, the Germany Collection
by OPI embraces the classical elegance as well as the
avant-garde that is modern Berlin. Burgundy (the seasons
gorgeous and undisputed new black) and red appear in
variations from dark to lightGerman-icure by OPI,
Danke-Shiny Red, Schnapps Out of It! and
Deutsch You Want Me Baby? Much like the
world-renown street art and vibrant swirls of grafti
that pop against the walls of Berlins historic buildings,
brilliant sapphire (Unfor-greta-bly Blue), red-violet
(Suzi & the 7 Dsseldorfs), deep aubergine
(Every Month is Oktoberfest), sultry black olive
(Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!) and an on-trend,
electric-lime yellow (Dont Talk Bach to Me), contrast
beautifully with our creamy, urban-chic neutrals in honey
beige (Dont Pretzel My Buttons), nude rose
(My Very First Knockwurst) and light taupe
(Berlin There Done That).
Once again, the hottest accessory of the season
is nail color, says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI
VP & Artistic Director, and the shades in the
Germany collection are no exception. Each classic color
imparts elegance with an edgetaking your
fall wardrobe to a whole new level of fashion!

Taking part in a competition
takes courage and
determination. Just waiting
for the results is nerve-
wracking in itself, but in the
end, competing is worthwhile
for many reasons. Thats
why we encourage all nail
technicians to compete. You
may even see your name on
our Top 25 list. Each month,
winners from participating
shows are added to NAILS
Top 25 ranking. First place
earns 6 points, second earns
5 points, and third earns
4 points. For SuperPoints
competitions, point scores
are doubled (for veteran or
master divisions) and fourth
place earns 6 points. If you
have questions regarding your
points, call (310) 533-2457
or e-mail judy.lessin@bobit.

COMPETITORS
So that the ranking
more accurately
reects competitors
skill levels, winners in
the novice or student

double points for their
wins at SuperPoints
events. Also note
that no points will
be awarded to
participants in relay or
group competitions in
regular or SuperPoints
events.

Tweezerman.com is a winner of the 2012 Interactive Media
Best in Class Award for the Consumer Goods/E-Commerce

The next generation of LED/UV nail color,
Cuccio Colour Veneer is available in 24 clas-
sic shades that are perfect for clients of any
age. The new formula creates an armor that
protects the nails, allowing them to grow lon-
ger and stronger. The gel-polish uses triple
pigmentation technology for true color cov-
erage in just two coats. The formula is hard,
yet exible so there is no chance of dulling
due to micro-shattering. It applies in minutes
and can cure in just 30 seconds using an LED
lamp or two minutes in a UV lamp and soaks
off in 10 minutes or less. The heart-shaped
window allows you and your clients to easily
select a color and is protected by a 100% UV shield, so it will never cure in
the bottle. This fourth generation of Cuccio Colour Veneer will never evapo-
rate, thicken, harden, or yellow over time, says the company.

The Chinese Staf and Workers Association and the
organization Justice Will Be Served announced a jury award
in April in a successful lawsuit in which six Chinese nail salon
workers sued a chain of high-end nail salons for failing to
pay a minimum wage and overtime compensation. The nail
salon workers were represented by The Legal Aid Society.
The lawsuit was led in December 2009 in the federal court
for the Eastern District of New York and alleged that the nail salons failed to
pay them in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor
Law, which require, among other things, that employees be paid a minimum wage
and be paid overtime compensation. Four of the employees, who were still working
at the salons when they led this lawsuit, were then red nearly one month later in
retaliation for ling the lawsuit.
After a one-week trial, the jury found that the nail salon failed to compensate
the plaintifs as required by the minimum wage and overtime laws, and awarded
them over $160,000 for these violations. The jury also found that the nail salon
illegally red four of the plaintifs in retaliation for ling the lawsuit and awarded
these plaintifs over $80,000 in backpay.

Vietnamese-American Nail
Association Established
In March, Miss Professional Nail vice president Mike Vo installed the rst executive
board of the Vietnamese-American Nail Association (VANA), a non-prot organization
designed to represent the interests of the professional nail industry. The Orange County,
Calif.-based VANA is uniquely positioned to provide information and services in English
and Vietnamese, ranging from product usage and health awareness to state board and
regulatory compliance matters.
As president of VANA, Vo relies on his legal background to confront industry-
specic challenges and develop creative solutions. Through his role as vice president of
Miss Professional, he noticed the need for in-language information and material, and a
communication channel between government and the nail industry. This awareness led to
the development of VANA, which has been well-received by the community.
VANA membership is open to manufacturers, beauty suppliers, beauty salons, beauty
colleges, nail professionals, and students. For more information, go to www.vnana.org or

For the rst time ever, a nail company graced the main stage at
Premiere Orlando, and in the middle of the day, no less. With
show-stopping runway nails directly from New York Fashion
Week, CND brought renowned design duo The Blonds and looks
from three of their recent collections to show nail and beauty
professionals how important nails are in the fashion world. The Blonds are known for their
impeccable (and out there) handmade corsets. And for the last seven years, theyve been
accessorizing their shows with the help of some outrageous nails from Team CND.
Backstage before the event Phillipe Blond told us, CND is so detail-oriented and so are
we. Its a great match. And we really think about the nail design from the start. We ask
ourselves, What can we do to make that dragon outt look even more amazing?
At the Shellac Couture event, which took place on Sunday, June 3, Team CND members
Roxanne Valinoti and Kristina Estabrooks (with the help of CND co-founder and style
director Jan Arnold as MC) showed an audience of nail professionals and special media
guests how to take the nail styles from runway to reality.

Artistry of the Nail
at Salon Shibumi
on the road
PORTLAND PERFECT The City of Roses impressed me as
soon as I took a seat on the MAX light rail from the airport
into the city. Portlands environmentally friendly features
extend beyond its easy mass transit to community ideals
such as shopping local, which explains the citys popular
Saturday Market. Salon Shibumi ts in sublimely with
these values. Its located in an old residential building and
only steps from a MAX stop, both green choices. Nail tech
and booth renter Dana Gonzalez-Kurtz shops primarily at
Seattle-based Ed Wyse Beauty Supply, and she offered me
candy from Portland-based Moonstruck Chocolate Co.
LOW TURNOVER Dana has been at Salon Shibumi for
eight years, ever since she graduated from nail school. Most
of the other booth renters are long-timers as well. Even
though each renter runs her own businesses, they all work
cooperatively. When booking a spa day or a birthday party,
booth renters communicate with each other using either
phone calls, text messages, or simply by walking to the
other persons room. Dana facilitates this by having an open
door policy. And she takes it quite literally her door stays
open during services and it doesnt even have a lock. As a
courtesy, I tell the stylists and booth renters to feel free to
use my lotion or top coat for a quick x as needed. It reects
poorly on me if their nails dont look kempt, she says.
EDUCATION SEEKER Continuing education is not
required in Oregon, but Dana seeks it out. Her room
features a wall covered in class certicates, including ones
for a CND Master Painter Course and for becoming a
certied CND Shellac service provider. When there was
all the hoopla about Shellac when it came out, I gured I
should take a class, Dana says. She notes how the classes
are a great way to network with other techs in her area.
Indeed, she had plans to carpool with a tech she met at one
of the classes to the Willamette Valley Nail Professional
Networking Event. The classes and networking have
also given her other techs to run new ideas by, such as a
revamp of her menu.
> Why are the continuing ed certicates
framed with purple matting, even
though it doesnt go with the rooms
color scheme? Its in anticipation of
a total booth makeover Dana is plan-
ning a big change: the walls will be
painted yellow.
> When one of Danas clients died of
pancreatic cancer, Dana donated her
tips, and matched the tip donations, to
help ght cancer.
> Dana used Shuttery.com to create a
calendar featuring her nail art designs,
which she hung on the wall by her pedi-
cure station. During my visit in April,
the calendar had a note Celebrating
8 years at Salon Shibumi. Flipping
forward to October, I noticed some of

apply on all of the nails and cure.
Do not remove the tacky layer
after curing.
2. Choose three shades of ne
glitter. At an angle with a dry gel
brush, apply one shade of glitter
starting on the free edge to all of
the nails except the ring nger.
Apply the second color in the
middle and the last color near
the eponychium. Make sure to
clean your gel brush in between applying the layers of glitter.
3. Using the gel brush, blend the glitter to make it smooth on the nail. After curing
use a clean, dry nail brush to remove any excess glitter. On the ring nger press a
holographic transfer foil onto the tacky layer.
4. Apply a gel top coat to all the nails and cure. Wipe of the tacky layer and apply

Q

I have a client who takes meds and Im wondering which meds might affect
enhancements. This particular client gets migraines, and I know she has to
take strong meds for them, plus hormones. She isnt hard on her nails at all
(to the best of my knowledge), so Im wondering if its her meds or me.
Often, medications are quick to be suspected, but they are unlikely to be
the cause of enhancement service breakdown. The nail plate reects certain
aspects of our health and any changes are probably due to changes in the
health of the body, not the medications. By far, more likely reasons for
service breakdown are related to improper nail plate preparation, improper
product application, or the clients nails are not suitable for articial nail
enhancements. Suitability for wearing articial nails is determined by the
clients nail plate type, condition, and her lifestyle. For example, some
clients nail plates are excessively oily, constantly wet, or overly thin and
exible all of these can create adhesion problems. Also, how the client
cares for her nails after leaving the salon can prevent or trigger service
breakdown. When service breakdown becomes an issue, remember that
not everyone is a good candidate for articial nails and medications are
rarely to blame.

The Red Dragon Sauna Pedicure offers clients a
steamy, relaxing, therapeutic pedicure in the salon.
You can maximize that experience by allowing your
client to choose her favorite essential oil to add to the steam generator.
1. Fill water in the Red Dragon Steamer. Add a few drops of
essential oils in the cup holder inside the barrel. Turn on the
steamer. Set temperature and timer, and cover the barrel
with a towel to keep steam building up inside for three to
ve minutes.
2. Remove the lid and place the massage roller onto the bottom
of the barrel. Assist the client with lowering her feet into
the barrel. Place a towel over the top of the barrel, covering
clients knees, and allow her to relax for 15-30 minutes.
3. Lift the towel, place it on the ottoman and assist the client
with lifting her feet from the barrel and resting them on the
towel and ottoman.
4. Wrap both feet in warm, moist towels, and proceed with the
rest of pedicure.

1. Prep nails and apply base coat.
2. Apply two to three coats of CND Colours in Bicycle Yellow.
3. Sprinkle Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter over still-wet polish to
get that sugar-coated look.
4. Use an orangewood stick with acetone to clean up around the edges of
the nails.

Show Your True Colors
If youre constantly on the prowl for that little something extra to make your art stand
out from the next techs, try CNDs just launched Additives this new line of pure color
pigments in powdered form was designed with the nail artist in mind.
The July launch included 12 cosmetic-grade powdered colors (not to be confused
with acrylic powder): Yellow, Bright Red, Black, and Medium Green that ofer straight-up
color; Cerulean Blue, Haute Pink, Antique Bronze, Violet Pearl, and Titanium Pearl are
equally bold, but with a touch of shimmer (earning them the name of Pigment Efects
by CND); while Pink Gold Sparkle, Green Gold Sparkle, and Spectrum Silver ofer a bit
of color but are mainly for sparkle power (and hence dubbed Efects). Any of these
Additives can be blended into sculpting powder, gel, or layered over Shellac for unique
nail creations. (Just dont mix more than 30% Additives into an acrylic or gel in order to
maintain the enhancements integrity.)
Heres a sample design, Groovy, that shows how Additives can be used with Brisa
Gloss and Brisa Paint.
1. Prep the natural nail and apply a Clear Tip. Apply Brisa Bond and a Brisa Clear
Gel enhancement. Finish with the 180 side of the Blizzard File.
2. Apply two layers of Pure White Brisa Paint, curing each layer for two minutes.
3. Mix the Additives with Brisa Gloss and Brisa Pure White Paint with a
measuring scoop in a mixing tray to create the custom colors. For the bright
yellow, mix 3 parts Brisa Gloss with 1 part Brisa Paint Pure White and 1 part
Additives Yellow. For the hot pink, mix 3 parts Brisa Gloss with 1/2 part Brisa
Paint Pure White and 1 part Additives Haute Pink. For the electric blue, mix
3 parts Brisa Gloss with 1/2 part Brisa Paint Pure White and 1 part Additives
Cerulean Blue.
4. Use a ProSeries Gel Flat Oval Brush to apply the custom blue gel, oating it
from side-to-side to create the design. Add small details to the sides. Flash
cure for 10 seconds. Clean the brush.
5. Apply the pink gel with the same side-to-side oating technique, overlapping
a portion of the blue. Add small details to the sides. Flash cure for 10 seconds.
Clean the brush.
6. Apply the yellow gel with the same side-to-side oating technique,
overlapping a portion of the pink. Add small details to the sides. Flash cure for
10 seconds. Clean the brush. Cure for two minutes to set the entire design.
7. Seal with a thin layer of Brisa Gloss. Cure for two minutes. Remove the sticky
layer with ScrubFresh and a lint-free pad. >>>

Have a style question?
(about nail art, fashion, salon decor, etc.)
E-mail it to Sree.Roy@bobit.com and check back here for an expert answer.
What is the best way to make stripes/lines on nails?
The best way to make stripes on nails is with a liner brush. You can nd a
striper/liner brush at some beauty supply stores or even your local craft store.
The brush will have long thin bristles, and when you get it wet with paint it
comes to a very precise point and is no wider than a toothpick and about an inch
or two long depending on what brand or style you buy.
As for actually making lines, its pretty simple but takes a steady hand. First, take
the lid off the paint and swirl the brush around the inside of the bottle, coating all
the bristles evenly and making them all stick together and come to a ne point. Im
right handed, so I always start from the left side of the nail and work to the right.
The pressure you use will determine how thick the lines will be. If you need more
paint, just dip the tip of the brush in the lid of the paint bottle.
Jade Sewell is a nail artist at Just Nails in Great Falls, Mont.
Q
How do I choose a good polish color according to season and skin tone?
I like to hold the polish bottle up to the inside of a clients wrist. Usually you
can see if the color is going to complement the tone of her skin just by doing so.
Another handy tip is to ask your client the colors she does not like as opposed
to asking her what she does like. That is a good indication of what will not look
good on her. People dont like certain colors for a reason and, more often than
not, its because they put that color on one time and it didnt look so great. By
asking your client the colors she does not like, it narrows it down way better than
asking her what she likes. People are pretty point-blank about what they dont
like. They can go on forever about the colors they do like.
As far as seasons go, when it comes to polish colors your options are limitless.
Even if a person isnt specically a fall person, odds are good you can nd a
shade of orange that might have a nice pink undertone to it to complement her
spring skin tone. Keep a nice variety of polish colors and brands on hand and
you are sure to nd a color your client will fall in love with!

Clay Rose French
1. Polish the base of the nail pink. Polish the free edge white,
with one side dipping deeper than the other to create an
asymmetrical French.
2. Either handpaint, stamp (shown is a Bundle Monster stamp),
or airbrush delicate oral scrollwork on the free edge.
3. Add rhinestones of varying colors and a clay rose. To create the
rose, atten tiny balls of clay and roll them between your thumb
and forenger. The rst roll serves as the rose center. Then take
a smaller ball of clay (roughly half the size of the center), atten
it, and create a petal. Repeat the process, sticking the petals to
the center piece until the rose looks done. Bake in the oven for
about 25 minutes and let cool. File the rose from the bottom
until its at the height you want it to be.

It requires a lot of talent and a little bit of nerve to take on the worlds greatest
masters. These bold nail artists rolled up their sleeves, gathered their nest brushes,
and attempted to re-create a famous work of art on a nail tip to compete in this
years Mini-Masterpiece Contest. As youll see, the results are astounding.

MEET THE WINNER
It was an iconic American image that caught the eye of internationally
known nail tech and frequent NAILS cover artist Elsbeth Schuetz. In
1942, Pittsburgh artist J. Howard Miller was hired by the Westinghouse
Companys War Production Coordinating Committee to create a series
of posters for the war effort. It was Schuetzs nail-tip-sized version
Millers poster titled We Can Do It that made her this years top
vote-getter. She was drawn to its theme and its implications today. It
portrayed confidence that with hard work we canovercome thecurrent
economic state, she says.
Though it didnt take her long to paint, she says,
she took extreme care. One infinitesimal brush-
stroke can change the entire expression. I guess I
changed the lips six times. Her tip for others wishing
to preserve their own nail art masterpieces: Finish
with clear UV top gel. Regular top coat may smear
and blur your detailed work.

Hit Pinterest to

In the world of Pinterest,
users pin videos and images
to boards. Its not hard to
see why the virtual bookmarking
site appeals to more women (97%)
than men (3%). Browse the boards
of some of your friends and you will
nd beautiful images, how-tos on life,
organizing tips, travel pictures, and

web. And its oh-so-easy to get started.
Have a Twitter or Facebook account?
You are halfway there.
Currently, Pinterest (www.pinterest.

current user or Pinterest. (Generally, it
only takes about a day to get an invita-
tion directly from the site.) Once you
have scored an account, it is easy to ll
in a few blanks on your prole and you
will be ready to create your rst board.
Creating a pinboard is simple. First,
click add a board from the top toolbar.
Next, type in a catchy title, and choose
a category. Finally, click create and,
voila, you are ready to start pinning.

Beauty is content people natu-
rally want to share. Pinterest
is unique in this look book
quality. People are 10% more
likely to purchase products and
services on Pinterest than the
same products seen on Face-
book. Pinterest is a very valu-
able source for driving trafc
to your store and site. The best
reason to be on Pinterest is it is
free marketing, says Schreck.
If you are having trouble lling your boards or creating interaction, consider
crowdsourcing. Let your fans ll the void. Create a board such as Where in the
world is _____ Salon? Ask clients to post pictures of themselves enjoying their
manicure or pedicure on vacation. The idea is to get clients to tell your story
for you.
On the subject of story effective pinboards evoke an emotional response.
They tell the story of who we envy, who we want to be, or what we wish our lives
were like. Photos should be high quality and tell a story. Gone is the blah, blah,
blah of everyday life (unless you can portray it in a way that sticks). Magazine
covers pull this off very well. We make a split second decision based on the cover.
It either speaks to us or it doesnt.
Tap into glamour or trending topics. Trending topics can include famous people
who visit the salon, charity work, etc., but you will probably want to relegate it to
its own board. For example, you could title a board Look Who Stopped In for
celebrity sightings or Its All Good for community involvement.
Schreck helps businesses use social media and engagement effectively. When
asked about preventing copyright
infringement, she points out that
Pinners should always credit
their original sources. If you load
a photo, you can put a watermark
on the photo with a web address.
Be sure to add the link back to
your site since most people will
not change a link; they will simply
repin and share.
This may well be the easiest and
most intuitive site yet. So go ahead
and hit up your nail buddies for an
invite or go to Pinterest and request
one. Its easy to get lost in the fabu-
lous images oating on the boards.
Welcome to your newest addiction

you play it right.

Event of the Smokies. Wix is a do-it-yourself
website builder for creating and customizing
your own web presence website, Facebook

upgrade to more pages, widgets, and such, which
they charge for. But the free websites have tons
of template options and the mobile websites
are graphically amazing and are easy to read on
small screens like the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry,

is that any tech can create one for her business
and text it to all her clients. You can add photos
of your nail art, prices, contact info, etc.
According to the company, other benets of
using Wix include:
> Theres no coding or downloading.
> Its search engine-friendly.
> It uses a drag-and-drop editor with easily

No More Nails-Only?
Between 2012 and 2017, nail salons will increasingly expand
into full-service salons, which will allow industry operators
to diversify their customer base and mitigate revenue
uctuations, according to a recent report by market research
rm IBISWorld. The report (OD4411: Personal Waxing &
Nail Salons in the U.S.) goes on to say this diversication
will likely include a greater line of anti-aging remedies,
which were a high-growth segment prior to the recession.
Furthermore, the share of nail salons that also ofer waxing
will steadily rise over the ve-year period.
IBISWorld cautions that nail and waxing salons will
face increased competition from hair salons, which are
also predicted to diversify their beauty and spa services to
include waxing, manicures, and pedicures, as well as other
beauty services like tanning, massages, and facials.
To purchase the entire report, go to www.ibisworld.com.

Q

Q
AND
} {
I am working for a salon on a 60/40 split. The salon owner gets 60%. When the
owner offers a free service with a manicure, should I be paid my share of the free
service since I am doing the labor?
I think it really depends on what the big picture looks like. First and fore-
most, make sure that the law is being followed. Generally, the salon must guar-
antee that you are paid minimum wage plus tips for all hours worked.
If Im understanding the situation, you would be doing the manicure and a
free add-on service. Im assuming that the add-on is not something where you
really schedule a bigger time slot, just something that can usually be added
at the last minute. If so, then generally I would say that commission should
only be paid on actual revenue generated. Since add-ons are typically fairly
quick and lower in price, you will likely make up for the lost commission with
a bigger tip and generate goodwill from the client. If the free service is some-
thing booked separately that requires signicant time, then I would say the real
question is whether the owner actually has a protable plan in place.
In my studio I have reward points that allow my clients to get their art
add-on free at every third appointment or so. As a salon owner I wouldnt pay
out commission on the free add-on, but it would count toward total revenue
and calculating commission percentage, as I have a sliding scale that rewards
productive techs.
Candice Everest is owner of Panache Nail Studio in Stanwood, Wash.
Q
Is it appropriate to inform my clients that I am going to a new spa to work? Im
an employee. I signed no contract. I would tell them if they wish to follow I will
be at XXX but if not there will still be someone to take care of them at this salon.
Usually employees dont need to sign a contract, but must follow the standard
operating procedures or a handbook of your place of employment. So I would discuss
this with your current employer to make sure you are not breaking any rules of your
employment. If your employer approves this, I would think it would be appropriate
to let your current clients know where you are relocating. But also assure the clients
that the current salon will be more than happy to take care of them.
After years in this business, I have realized most clients follow the technician
versus the salon. I do hope your current employer will help with this transition. An
employer and an employee arguing over a client does nothing but harm. Neither
one of you can make the decision for a client. It is the clients choice in the end.
Diana Bonn is a nail tech at Identity Salon in Muncie, Ind.,
and a member of the Indiana State Board of Cosmetology.
Q
What do you do when your customer says to you after you are fnished her set
of nails, Oh I forgot my purse at home, can I come back tomorrow and pay
you? And she never comes back. What recourse do you have?
Unfortunately, this is a classic example of service robbery. You provided a
service and they provided the robbery. The key is to avoid this plain and
simple. Luckily, it can truly be simple to x. Make it your policy to process
payments prior to service or at least halfway through. Its not uncommon for
nail providers to take payment midway since nails can often be wet or at least
delicate to the touch at the end of their service. Wet nails or not, you can
insist on all payments to be paid upfront. As for services that have already been
completed and you are still waiting to be paid on them, send an invoice if you
have their billing address and refuse all future services until you are paid in full.
While this wont guarantee you to gain your rightful money for past services, it
can help eliminate future incidences.
Nicole Leinbach-Reyhle is founder/writer/speaker
of Retail Minded (retailminded.com).
Youve just started this amazing
journey of becoming a nail tech and
are probably reluctant to do pink-and-
whites as a newbie. My advice is to
always adhere to proper application
and technique, continually practice,

myself that even with all of the doubts

Try not to let the slow days get you

through a couple of very slow years
when I started. Things would pick up
and I would be thrilled but then I would
have a few weeks of being slow again.
It was hard not to be discouraged, but
I got encouragement from the others
at the salon and I soon had many more
busy days than slow days. Now if I have
a (rare) slow week I take advantage of it
and enjoy the break.

Faster. Clean Touch system disassembles and
reassembles quickly and easily, saving so much
time that some salons are able to add several extra
appointments each day.
Easier. Clean Touch was created with the help of nail
technicians. Its no wonder 83% of nail techs prefer
the Clean Touch system to other pipe-free systems.
Better. Most clients prefer the invigorating

I just re-book them at the end of their
service. It is usually never an issue. Even
if they dont have a calendar readily
available, I just make their appoint-
ment, give them their card, and instruct
them to call me with any changes they
had not anticipated when making the
repeat appointment. Then I make a note
to call them about a week after their rst
service to see if they were completely
satised and remind them of their
upcoming appointment. The day before
their second appointment I send a text
or e-mail saying I am looking forward to
servicing them again.

Professional Callus & Cuticle Removers
na0812first-timer.indd 111 6/21/12 7:04 PM
Nail technician Jeany Perez
had always dreamed of making
it big in the beauty industry. So
in 2003, at the age of 26 with $3,000
in her pocket, she opened Unity Nails
and Skin Care along with a barbershop
next door in Lake Mary, Fla. However,
as the economy started to plummet,
she was forced to sell the barbershop.
A blessing in disguise, this hardship
allowed her to channel her energy
toward nails and understanding the
business inside and out.
Perez became an educator for OPI
and developed a palpable sense of de-
termination to succeed against the odds.
Through social media and networking,
she attracted more and more clients
until she decided to expand, moving
Unity into a larger space one block up.
On April 25, she had a grand reopen-
ing to celebrate Unitys renovation,
her new employees, and new services.
The improved menu has made wellness
a major part of Unitys concept, as it
features progressive services, such as
foot detox and whole body vibration
machines, as well as personalized, hand-
painted nail art and gel mani-
cures, which have now become
Unitys specialty services.
CRISP, LIKE APPLE According
to Perez, Unitys decor can be
described as modern with a
splash of color. Earthy, neutral
browns and beiges are found
at the salons core on its
dividers, furniture, and oors. However,
scattered around are pops of bright pink,
blue, and green either nestled in Unitys
boutique, or hung about the walls.
Prominently displayed on the salons
all-white front desk is the Unity logo,
which was created specically for
the brand and features three colorful
interlocking rings. The reception desk

is one of my favorite pieces inside Unity, said Perez. My
logo is everything I wanted. The font used to make it is called
United just like the salons name, Unity. And the unity circles
are all about what we stand for.
Although the salon has attracted some high prole
clients, such as the Kardashian sisters and Nicki Minaj,
Perez makes it a point to ensure that every customer is
treated equally. When a girl sits down, you treat her like
the princess she is because theres no difference whether
she has money or not, says Perez. I treat the local client
the same as the celebrity.
The store is very clean and crisp, as Perez takes much of
her design philosophy from the software corporation Apple. I
like Unity to be like the Apple Store very clean, efcient, and
easy for everyone to understand, said Perez. Elegant wooden
dividers split the open space into ve stations according to
service. The arrangement is simple, uncluttered, and still
provides privacy for clients.
Like Apple, I constantly update my apps, Perez adds.
As new products or nail treatments come out, Perez and
her staff go into training mode. There they evaluate whats
suitable for inclusion in Unitys ever-expanding menu.
Currently, the nail services available are manicures and
pedicures, gel manicures with either Shellac or GelColor by
OPI, pink-and-white sets and lls, polish changes, crystal
rhinestone full sets, colored acrylic tips, French manicures
and pedicures, gel overlays, and a variety of nail art ranging
from basic to 3-D.
To that end, Perez ensures that her menu remains just
as clear and simple as her design concept. For every type
of service on the menu, there are only two options: basic
or spa. If customers choose the basic option for their
service, they will receive a water soak, cuticle treatment,
ling, bufng, and a massage. The spa option includes
everything offered in a basic service, plus a scrub, mask,
and intense moisturizing treatment for which clients
wear ngerless gloves lled with a butter-like lotion.
The entire time were working on their nails we keep the
gloves on our clients so the butter can penetrate into their
hand for ultimate moisture.
While Perez prefers using OPI, she allows her nail techs
to use their personal favorite products as long as she can
approve them beforehand. Popular brands include Tammy
Taylor and Essie.
To the right of the front desk are the luxury pedicure
chairs, separated from the rest of the salon with
elegant dividers to give customers more privacy.

A FOCUS ON WELLNESS An esthetician in addition to a
nail tech, Perez is always interested in exploring the ways in
which nail services act as a wellness treatment for people.
From 1997 to 2003, before opening Unity, I always found
myself going back to my roots of doing nails, said Perez. I
always wanted people to feel good about their image. So,
when reopening Unity, Perez initiated a major menu shift
toward personalized nail art and specialized services.
For children, the salon offers Princess Services for VIPs
or Very Important Princesses which involve more
pampering than a regular mani or pedi. Unity also hosts VIP
parties for birthdays and special events. For these events,
Unity will shut down and become a private venue.
Since the April reopening, nail art has quickly become
the salons specialty service, generating the most revenue.
According to Perez, customers never walk out with just a
basic manicure, and nine times out of 10 they will end up
spending over $80 because of all the add-ons they choose.
Our manicures are only $15, said Perez. Really, we t in
right between the small corner salons and the high-end spas
in our pricing. We intentionally found the happy medium.
Additional money comes from extra nail embellishments,
other wellness services, and our boutique section.
The other wellness services offered at Unity, which
clients can receive for additional relaxation either before
or after a nail treatment, include foot detox therapy, spray
tans with a non-toxic vegan product, teeth whitening,
facials, makeup services, waxing, and whole body vibration
machines for weight loss.
Nails, skin, and beauty are important because you can
really match someones outside to their inside, said Perez.
They walk out of here feeling amazing, and thats truly why I
do what I do.
Perezs wellness ideals transcend into Unitys boutique
section as well. All of the products that Unity employees use are

concept. They also started distributing
iers around Lake Mary, handing out
neighborhood discounts, coupons, and
specials. Advertising Unity like that
was the only way I got myself booked
solid, says Perez.
A lot of Unitys regulars are older
women and mothers, according to Perez.
However, from advertising on Facebook,
Unity has now diversied its crowd by
attracting younger clients as well. We
get dance teams and cheerleading squads
from Lake Marys high schools and arts
centers, says Perez.
Unity also participates in and
hosts outside events such as breast
cancer awareness benets and jobs
for Bloomingdales. As Perez put the
salons name on the map, she began
receiving ve to seven brand new
clients per week.

caters to the individual client. We

NEW SPACE, NEW STRATEGIES
Recovering from the effects of the
economic downturn served as an
extremely motivating and essential
challenge for Perez and her business.
How I made it through is what I
want to share with anyone who can
learn from my mistakes, says Perez.
I took the money I still had and
reinvested it right back into the salon,
this time with a clearer vision and a
better space. I have learned that you
must make time to market, and let
guests see what makes your services
different than others.
The salon began using social media
in addition to word of mouth to their
advantage, starting on a local level.

A component of Thai massage, Thai foot
massage was born out of the Ayurvedic
medical system in India thousands of years
ago. It has evolved and the form practiced
today reveals inuences from the medical
systems of China and other eastern Asian
countries. Says Lisa Jacobs, a licensed
massage therapist based in Asheville, N.C.:
Techniques include and alternate between
the stretching of the feet, stimulation of
Sen lines [energy pathways], massage
techniques using the hands, massage
techniques using a wooden tool, stimulation
of reex points with the wooden tool, and
pressure applied through a towel-wrapped
foot. There are, in fact, enough techniques
used in this extremely thorough foot and
lower leg massage to encompass a two-
hour session. Because of its penetrating
tissue work, it is ideal for the treatment of
plantar fasciitis and other common foot
ailments, says Jacobs. Dancers, hikers, and
athletes also enjoy its benets.
After receiving a Thai foot massage
session, most people experience a profound
state of relaxation. Most of my clients sleep
very well that evening, she says. >>>

Superstore is a lightweight electric foot care device designed to shave and
smooth away dry skin and calluses in just minutes. It has two precision speeds:
low speed for rough dry skin and high speed for tough calluses. Use it on heels,
soles, even on toes. The PediSmuter uses disposable rell pads that can be peeled
off and replaced after every service. With three types of hygienic disposable ling
pad grits to choose from, nail techs can work less with faster results. Use the
coarse pad to remove heavy calluses, the medium pad for rough dry skin, and the
ne pad to buff and polish the skin surface. After the callus has been removed,
rinse the foot with water, then wipe the foot dry. For optimal results, apply a foot
cream after the service.

For When You
Cant Wash Up
Dermelect Introduces
Anti-Aging Polishes
Over the past three years, Dermelect Cosmeceuticals has been hard at work
creating its rst collection of colored nail lacquers utilizing ProSina, a protein-
peptide derived from New Zealand sheeps wool, to treat brittle, weak, and dry
nails that are prone to chipping and splitting. Named ME, the lacquers deliver a
fast-drying, high-gloss shine while strengthening stubborn nails. The polishes are
water- and detergent-resistant and protect against UV rays. The debut collection
includes six lacquers with eye-catching hues ranging from the brands signature
red to a rich lilac, creamy sky blue, and color of the year, tangerine.
In April, Nontoxique and non-prot Spa4ThePink
completed the rst of many planned manicurist
oncology trainings. These specialized trainings
give licensed manicurists a glimpse into the
efects of cancer treatments and how they
change the way services are administered in the
spa to safely and appropriately accommodate clients with cancer.
Oncology training provides important tools for spa professionals providing treatments
that support a full mind/body/spirit approach to relaxation and healing, or are simply
about feeling good on this new journey. Patients or survivors can condently receive
hand and foot care that is appropriate for them with licensees who know how to navigate
the needs of those who have had lymph nodes removed, and especially those who sufer
from lymphedema or peripheral neuropathy.
The training is done over two days with the rst part conducted by Sally Tenioro, an
oncology nurse, and the remainder by Spa4ThePink and Nontoxique. Attendees are also
provided both retail and fundraising opportunities that help announce their specialized
ofering to their community while raising funds to support continuing trade education
and free spa days.

Q
AND
} {
I am a cosmetologist and would like to start doing nails, but I have also been
diagnosed as a diabetic and must do fnger sticks daily. Should I be concerned
about infections? I see a lot of info on the diabetic client, but not the diabetic
nail tech. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
You bring up a very important question. Any openings in the skin make
you potentially more susceptible to infection. This holds true for you, a nail
technician who may create an opening in the nger from a nger stick, but
is also true for clients who for example should not shave their legs prior to
soaking in a pedicure spa because they may have some microscopic nicks or
openings in their skin. Infections can be acquired just about anywhere (from
touching a doorknob, shaking a clients hand, etc.). Additionally, diabetics are
more prone to infections in general and therefore it is important that you are
especially cautious. After each nger stick it would be a good idea to wash your
hands with an antibacterial soap and then to apply a topical antibiotic oint-
ment (bacitracin is over the counter). You might want to cover the area with
a small spot bandaid or even consider wearing a latex glove, especially if your
hands are going to be immersed in water. It is always a good idea to wash your
hands before and after each client. You might also look into a different glucose
monitor that can prick the arm rather than the nger.

Raynauds Syndrome
Raynauds Syndrome is a constriction of the
blood vessels brought on by cold or stress that
causes a discoloration of the ngers and toes.
What is it?
How do you get it?
How is it treated?
What can a tech do?
Also called Raynauds Phenomenon or Raynauds Disease, Raynauds Syndrome is a medical condition
that causes blood vessels to spasm, blocking blood flow to parts of the body and causing a dramatic
change in the color of the skin. The discoloration often comes in what is known as a three-phase
sequence, which means the skin turns from white to blue to red. First, the blood vessels spasm and
reduce the flow of blood, turning the affected area white. After a period without oxygen, the area begins
to turn blue. Finally, the spasm stops and the blood vessels reopen. Blood rushes to the area, turning it
red. The cycle can be quite painful to sufferers, an estimated 3%-5% of the population.
Most of the time a change in the weather triggers Raynauds, however stress has also been noted as a
factor. There are two types of Raynauds: primary and secondary. Primary Raynauds is a stand-alone
phenomenon that isnt related to any other medical problem. Secondary Raynauds is caused by a larger
health problem, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
With little known about the cause, treatment remains a personalized trial-and-error approach. The
Raynauds Association recommends taking proactive steps to prevent spasms, including stopping
smoking and dressing in layers. When a person feels an episode coming on despite these preventative
measures, she should swing her arms around in circles to keep the blood circulating or rub her hands
together under warm water.
In those rare cases when complications from secondary Raynauds create problems such as skin
sores or ulcers, techs should avoid performing any nail services without a doctors release. Barring
any complications, though, manicures, pedicures, and enhancements pose no threat to clients with
Raynauds. For clients with Raynauds, take these simple precautions: Keep an air temperature of about
72 or encourage clients to bring a warm sweater. Make sure the water in a foot bath or manicure
soak doesnt get too cool or too hot. Be aware that the whirlpool effect itself might induce an attack of
Raynauds in the feet in some clients. Take special care to keep the hands and feet warm once theyve
been removed from a soak. Wrap the hands or feet in warm towels and allow enough room for the
client to move her hands and feet if necessary to keep the circulation steady. Finally, ask the client if she
would like to have her hands or feet wrapped in a dry towel to keep them warm while she waits for her
polish to dry.
Though doctors know what is happening the blood vessels spasm and prohibit proper blood flow
they dont know why it happens. They do know that women are more likely to develop Raynauds than
men, and most often, it is diagnosed between the ages of 20-40. Though very little is known as to the
cause of Raynauds, there are links that doctors acknowledge. For example, some occupations that
require the use of vibrating, hand-held machinery cause nerve damage that results in Raynauds. (Dont
get nervous; were talking jackhammers, not electric files.) Some people with migraines also suffer from
Raynauds, but why there is a link remains uncertain.

Consumers are more
demanding than ever when it
comes to the products they
choose to use. Whether it is prompted
by media reports, a desire to make
healthier choices, or just to be more
environmentally friendly, this all has an
impact on which products y off the
shelves of your salon. But, in the hurry
to make new lifestyle choices, little has
been done to standardize what the
different claims mean and what entity
enforces them. Natural, organic, and
cruelty-free are just a few of the claims
making their way onto cosmetic labels.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration
is generally tasked with regulating
cosmetics. The FDA also actively collects
reports of adverse reactions involving
cosmetic products. It is important to
note that this applies to handmade
products as well as mass-produced
commercial products. The makers of
cosmetics are responsible for making
sure that products are safe to use
according to labeling instructions.
Natural may one of the vaguest
claims in use today. The FDA states that,
From a food science perspective, its
difcult to dene a food product that is
natural because the food has probably
been processed and is no longer a
product of the earth. So, the FDA
doesnt attempt to dene the term
natural in respect to food or cosmetics
at this time.
Its safe to say that even though
people may be led to perceive so-called
natural products as safer or healthier,
that may not be the case. There are
plenty of natural things that come from
the earth that just are not good for us.
Two items that quickly come to mind
are lead and asbestos, both of which we
wouldnt want in our cosmetics.
It becomes clear that as salon profes-
sionals, our jobs may also be to help
clients understand the ins-and-outs of
labeling and help them start asking the
correct questions. When a client asks if a
product is natural, they may in fact be
expressing the concern that adulterated
substances may make it into the prod-
ucts they use.
The organic claim is currently
governed for agricultural products by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA). The FDA does not dene or
regulate the term organic, as it applies
to cosmetics, body care, or personal
care products, according to the USDA
Agricultural Marketing service, which
oversees the National Organic Program
(NOP). The USDA/NOP will, however,
allow the use of the USDA Organic
logo if the product is made up of agri-
cultural ingredients and can meet the
organic production, handling,
processing, and labeling standards set
by the USDA/NOP. All of the entities
who supply ingredients, handle, or are
part of the manufacturing process of
the product must be certied by a
USDA-accredited organic certifying
agent. Once certied, products are
broken down into categories 100%
organic, organic, and made with
organic ingredients. Products made
with less than 95% organic ingredients

vidual idea of cruelty-free.
Consumers can also look for private
certications, such as the Leaping
Bunny. Products that display the
Leaping Bunny logo must adhere to a
single, comprehensive standard.
Eligible products must not test on
animals during any stage of product
development, suppliers must make the
same pledge to ensure the entire product
meets the guidelines, and they must
allow on-site audits of practices. This is
a voluntary process and not mandated
by any U.S. government agency.
Whether you as a salon professional
are seeking to provide more conscious
choices for your clients or are seeking to
dene what all the claims mean, it is
important to do some research. Be ready

are not eligible to display the USDA
Organic logo on their packaging.
Simply, cosmetic products can claim
to be organic as long as they dont violate
the use of a governing authoritys
program logo. There is no demand that
cosmetics comply with the USDA/NOP
program if they dont claim to be certi-
ed in accordance with it.
Diving deeper into the murky waters
of cosmetic claims we nd products
that purport themselves to be cruelty-
free. There are currently no restric-
tions for claims such as cruelty-free
or not tested on animals, according
to the FDA. Even though the claims
are not regulated, the government,
through the USDA, has moved toward
a model that improves animal welfare.
In 1966, the Animal Welfare Act went
into effect. It has been modied
numerous times over the years. The
amendments cover things such as
animal ghting, improved standards
for lab animals, protection of pets, and
research facility inspections.
So, cruelty-free may not mean
that a product was not tested on
animals. A salon professional/
consumer needs to ask very specic
questions of manufacturers in order to

scrubs
Scrubs are granular products designed to help exfoliate and
slough away dry and dead skin cells as well as moisturize and
provide textural stimulation. In the nail industry they are most
often used in pedicures and are scented with various avors
such as lavender, mint, chocolate, guava, papaya, and more.
The exfoliative granular element is usually made of salt or
sugar blends.
Salt or Sugar: Salt and sugar in a scrub
are tiny and soft abrasives that gently
remove dead skin cells to leave a healthy
glow and supple feel to the skin. Sugar can
be a little easier on legs after shaving, while
salts can be used in varying crystal sizes
and help act as a natural preservative. Dead
Sea salts are a common ingredient in scrubs
for their high mineral density. Epsom salts
and ocean salts are also used for their
mineral content.

Oil: The oil in a scrub acts as the lubricant
to which the salt and/or sugar grains are
massaged across the skin. The oils help to
moisturize the skin as the scrub is applied
and often contain essential oils to promote
healthy skin and soothing aromas. Oils
that are often used in scrubs are almond,
grapeseed, flax seed, coconut, and jojoba.
Essential Oils: The essential oils are what
can give the scrub its soothing scents and
aromas. A few drops is usually enough to add an
invigorating aspect to the blend. Peppermint oil
and lemongrass are often used to promote
relaxation, and tea tree oil and tangerine make for
an excellent zesty experience.

Fla., then anything I do above and beyond is considered an
upsell. And upselling is a great way to expand your income
using your existing client base.
Even retail can be combined with natural nail services by
suggesting a cuticle oil or hand lotion to take home for mainte-
nance after the manicure. Angie Roman of Nails by Mz. Angie
in Chicago says that the key to upselling natural nail services
is education. She keeps her spa manicure service in heavy ro-
tation by explaining to her clients all the benefits. When they
first come in, I talk to them casually and give them the facts
about how the spa manicureand the scrub and paraffin dip
can benefit them.
Here is a guide to help you educate your natural nail clients
on all the wonderful ways you can enhance their manicure ex-
perience naturally.
Natural nail services are seeing a sizeable upswing in popularity in salons right now,
and clever techs can capitalize on this new wave of back-to-basics clients with great
manicuring fundamentals and some little extra touches. BY TIM CROWLEY
(You Make Me Feel Like)
a natural nail
Bonus:
Use balance-point positioning. Brace the hand that holds the clients finger on
the table, and hold the finger between your forefinger and thumb. Then use the
pinkie of your polishing hand to anchor it to the three unused fingers on the holding
hand. This lets you pivot and adjust your brush in a smooth and comfortable way.
Note that the thumb and forefinger of the holding hand pinches the clients finger
to pull back the soft tissue from the nail plate. This makes the nail bed a little bigger
and ensures complete polish coverage.

For customers who are looking for an affordable luxury,
a little treat they can give themselves to feel pampered, a
natural nail service is often the choice. Less expensive than
acrylics and gel, natural nail manicures typically include
a cleaning of the cuticle, polish application with top and
base coat, and perhaps a forearm massage with a scented
scrub or lotion, but a nail tech can turn this service into so
much more.
Spa manicures can include essential oils, anti-aging prod-
ucts, paraffin dips, pre-manicure cuticle soaks, and more to
give natural nail clients that extra attention theyll be increas-
ingly drawn to indulge in. Even nail art can become a quick
way to get more out of a natural nail service.
If a client comes in for a regular manicure, says Ingrid
Deckelman of Todd Patrick & Co. Salon in Ormond Beach,

Getting a smooth, glassy look while polishing takes a
little practice, but its worth it. One trick is to minimize your
actions to get complete coverage in three easy steps. Its
all about control.
Hillary Fry of Solessence Spa Nails in Brookfiled, Wis.,
gives this advice on polish applications.
Before you start, assemble all the products you will need.
Always use a base coat and top coat selected for your
clients nail type. Use the following stroke steps for base
coat, color coat, and top coat to achieve salon perfection.
This nail has already had two color coats applied. A third
is being added for layered color.
1. Lay the brush just before the eponychium, and gently
push up until it almost reaches, but does not touch, the
skin.
2. Swing the brush to the left, in one stroke. Cover all
edges on the sides and front without getting polish
on the skin. The left side of the nail should be evenly
polished.
3. Repeat the same action on the right in one motion.
4. Pull brush across the free edge to create a seal for a
longer-lasting manicure.
5. A final swipe down the center of the nail is all that is
needed to complete the color portion of the polish.
Finalize with top coat. Wait two minutes, then finish
with drying spray to condition and accelerate dry time.
Choosing a nail shape for your client is one of the
quickest and most effective ways to transform a natural
nail into a beautification aid. If the client has longer nails,
the squoval shape can have a slimming and lengthening
effect on the finger. Also, if the client has nails that are
weak or brittle, you can file them down to a clean almond
shape to keep the nails tight to the nail bed and prevent
the free edge from snagging during day-to-day use and
possibly causing injury.
Nail Shape
NAILS has some great articles and tutorials online
about nail shapes and how to file them. Check them
out at www.nailsmag.com/list/topic/nail-shapes.

A thorough hand and forearm massage can be the clients favorite
part of the service experience. With some good massage techniques,
anyone can tap into the clients energy to help relieve stress and ten-
sion. It doesnt even have to take long. A simple run through of the
main points of hand and arm massaging can turn a basic manicure
into a spa experience.
Remember, when giving a massage to never break physical contact
with your client. This can interrupt the positive energy of a massage.
The movements should flow together seamlessly so that at least one
hand is touching the client at all times.
There are many products that can go great with hand and forearm
massages. Massage lotions and body butters add extra glide to the
movements, and allow for deeper tissue massaging throughout the
muscles of the hand and arm. Scrubs can also be great and add that
extra level of exfoliation to renew healthy skin cells.
Pricing for natural nail services can vary. Some techs have
drawn-out manicure services written clearly on the menu, with
items like SpaManicure, Anti-Aging Hand Treatment, Hot Oil
Manicure, Hot Stone Manicure, and of course the Basic Mani-
cure. Each of these can be priced up front with a listing of the
products used and services done. According to the NAILS 2011-
2012 Big Book, the current industry average for a basic manicure
is $19.76.
But you can also offer basic manicures and then a list of a la
carte of options almost like a build-your-own service. Some
things you can add are paraffin dip, massage, scrub, mask, soak,
nail art, and gel-polish.
These additions can really add up too. You can take some-
thing as simple as a paraffin dip and charge $10 extra. If you are
able to upsell this to as little as three clients a week, then that
would bring in an additional $120 for the month (or $1,440 for
the year).

Nail art is not only an easy way to upsell
a natural nail client, its also a way for you
to express your creativity. Even if you feel
youre the most un-artistic nail tech on the
planet, you can dabble in a quick polish de-
sign that requires nothing more than a strip-
er brush and imagination.
Angie Roman of Chicago shows how she
does an easy nail art design in polish that
she charges between $7-$10 for.
1. Polish the nails in different colors, with the
middle finger two-toned down the center.
2. With a black striper/black acrylic paint,
begin adding lines, squares, and boxes.
4. Add dots in different areas.
5. Add glitter and top coat.
Nail Art
One way to entice customers into deluxe spa mani-
cures is to create a theme around the service. Marketing
a natural nail manicure as a Tropical Island Mani and
using guava- and papaya-scented scrubs and lotions can
grab a clients attention. Offer them a fruit juice drink as a
refreshment and theyll feel as relaxed as they would on a
beach with their toes in the sand.
Aracely Ruiz of Aracelys Nails in Chicago says her
most popular natural nail service is a Spa Manicure with
antioxidants. She centers the service around Cuccios line
of Pomegranate & Fig spa products, which have antioxidant
elements from the pomegranate extracts. She uses the
brands manicure soak, sea salt scrub, butter blend, and
transforming wrap to maximize her clients skin care.
Small props can also add to a themed service. The Palms
Nail Bar & Spa in Salem, N.H., has used coconut shaped
bowls, small ceramic leaves, and mats designed like bam-
boo shoots to add to the effect of a tropical service.

intimidating prospect for many of us.
You can alleviate some of the
fear factor by preparing for the talk
in advance, both my arming your-
self with the facts and by practicing
scripts. The conversation needs to
focus on the business and answer
my favorite question: Is it good for
the customer? If its not good for the
customer, then whatever that issue
is needs to stop immediately, says
Neil Ducoff, founder/CEO of Strate-
gies (www.strategies.com), a business
training and coaching company for
the beauty industry specializing in
leadership, performance, and growth.
Prepare a short list of how the
owners rule violations are hurting the
culture of the salon and degrading the
customer experience.
Michelle Smith, founder of Beauty
Education and Resources (www.beau-
tyeducationandresources.com) and a
salon owner, recommends preparing
for the best and the worst. Make sure
you have all of the facts and solutions,
and the best time is when the owner
isnt busy or tired. You may even want
to schedule a meeting in advance,
she says.
And have the talk, as well as the
lead-up to the talk, in person, not over
the impersonal medium of e-mail, says
Arnold. Id walk up to the salon owner
and say, Im a little bit concerned about
some of the policies in the manual, says
Arnold, who also advises that you look
up the manual ahead of time and know
what it says verbatim.
And while it may be tempting to
rely on strength in numbers by getting
other employees to confront the boss
with you, in general, ganging up on
the owner is a no-no, according to the
experts we interviewed. The issue may
affect everybody but youre talking to
the boss because of how it is affecting
you personally. Its more professional
if you do it solo, Arnold says. That
eliminates that backroom chatter and
gossip that isnt good for anybody.
Smith advises that to constructively
deal with issues as a team, the salon
should have regularly scheduled meet-
where you have built a following, and
where you see potential, then I think
the owner deserves a second chance.
THE TALK This of course brings up
the teensy issue of having to confront
the boss about her bad behavior, an
youd hope shed do for you if you
were the one breaking the rules. Lisa
Marie Arnold, the owner and a coach
at Lisa Marie Arnold, Inc. (www.
lisamariearnold.com), a business
coaching rm for salons and day spa,
advises: If its a place that you enjoy,
HOW TO FIND A GREAT SALON OWNER
If you choose to quit and nd another salon to work in, you
need to ensure that you wont simply run into the same or a
similar predicament at your new place of employment. Heather
Goodwin, a coach at salon coaching and training rm Inspiring
Champions (www.inspiringchampions.com), says you need to
know what to look for during the salon interview process to
ensure the owner youll be working for follows her own rules.
Goodwin says:
I meet techs from all over and a high percentage of
them nd themselves in the same types of situa-
tions. The challenge that I see over and
over is that instead of making a career
move they just look for a job. Or more
often Im noticing them opening their own
businesses as a way out. Neither of these are
usually successful moves. More often than not the new
business struggles just to stay aoat and most likely will
close due to the lack of real business knowledge in our in-
dustry.
As for jumping into a new job, the tech needs to interview the
boss. Does the salon require a resume with references rst before
setting up an interview? Does the owner have you ll out an ap-
plication that not only asks the vital info, but also questions on
services and product lines (more of a self-assessment type form)?
Does the owner have a vision statement ensuring what he or she
is looking for in a new tech? Does the owner, upon completing the
rst interview, have the applicant interview with a team member?
Was the owner prepared and on time? How was she dressed?
Was the salon clean? How were the other team members dressed?
During the interview with either the other team member or the owner, was gos-
sip present on why others had left, or why they were hiring?
Once a rst interview is passed, Inspiring Champions recommends a second
interview with both the owner and a second team member. This allows all par-
ties to connect again. Look around again at the surroundings. Are children run-
ning around? Ask the team member if these children are allowed. Is the salon
still clean with things running timely?
Ask for clarity on product lines and usage. Was the compensation structure
explained clearly? Were agreements in writing?
In the third interview model services should be completed to test the appli-
cants skills. Were the products labeled? Was the stock suf cient? What is the
tech responsible to provide? Whats their inventory and ordering system?
Remember that the culture of any salon is set by the leader. An employee can
control her destiny by utilizing these points to look for. They have just as much
opportunity to interview their new boss and coworkers. That way they can live a
life by design and not by default.

In many cases,
however, we think
youll be pleasantly
surprised to nd the
salon owner recep-
tive to your comments,
if youve approached
her the right way and
keep your demeanor
professional. Arnold
says, Owners are
learning all the
time. They may
be thrilled
to hear and
learn. They
may benet
greatly from the
conversation and
appreciate what you
had to say.
stick, Ducoff says. The last step of
the meeting should sound like, OK,
so starting tomorrow, were all going
to arrive 15 minutes before the salon
opens to prepare for work, were
going to turn off our mobile phones
while servicing clients, etc. Lets set
up some accountabilities we can
all use to make sure what were
committing to here is in line with
the salons policies and procedures,
says Ducoff.
Arnold says to anticipate a second
meeting, after the owner has had time
to think about the discussion and to
implement changes. If the initial
conversion was all from the viewpoint
of how the change would improve the
overall business, then I would be
hoping to see some denite feedback
within a few days.
If the owner falls into a backslide,
in which she improves for a few days
but then goes back to her old ways,
make sure you address it with her
immediately. It does take people
time to develop new habits, Smith
says. However, if the person isnt
working toward a solution at all, then
in my opinion, that says the person
doesnt care.
THROWING IN THE TOWEL There
are some cases in which, after
confronting the boss, it really is time
to nd other employment. Especially
if youre an employee (as opposed
to a booth renter or an independent
contractor) because then the boss
has the power in the relationship
and gets the nal word, whether its
the appropriate word or not. After
bringing up the issue and not seeing
it xed or seeing it get worse, and if
the issue is something youre not
OK living with, then your only real
recourse is to leave.
Smith says, There is nothing
wrong with seeing what other sh
are in the sea. Just dont tell anyone,
as we know most cant keep secrets.
So if you dont see any change, you
may want to consider nding a
new job.
ings to discuss issues together and/or
the owner could set up a suggestion
box for feedback.
SCRIPTS So, what exactly do you say?
You need to alert the owner to the
discrepancies. One way to phrase this,
Arnold says, is, Im a little confused
about what Im supposed to be doing
and what I see other people doing.
Arnold adds, Talk about how youre
looking for more professionalism: I
was anticipating a place of employment
where there was consistency and
structure a place where I could have
a career.
In the best-case scenario, your boss
will nd your comments eye-opening
and be thankful for how youve helped
improve her business. You may even
nd your relationship with the owner is
strengthened after mutually coming up
with a solution.
However, if the owner plays the boss
card (saying that because shes the boss
shes the exception to the rule), then the
best response is to defuse the situation,
Ducoff says. He offers this response: I
respect your position as the owner and I
want to work with you to make the salon
something extraordinary. I want to
follow your lead. I want you to be a
leader that stands for best practices.
How can I help you do this? Ducoff
says this brings the conversation back to
whats best for the salon and the
customer. Owners know this. Help the
owner feel your loyalty, concern, and
willingness to work together to create
something extraordinary, Ducoff says.
And if the rule the boss is breaking is
outdated, then this is the ideal time to
have it re-written and the new rule
added to the manual. Policies can be
changed, but the new policy should be in
writing. Smith says, I believe you treat
others the way you like to be treated,
and if its good for the owner, then all
employees should be able to do it too
and vice versa.
FOLLOWING UP The next steps are
the action items: timelines and
accountabilities that make change
DOS & DONTS
DURING THE TALK
Do be professional and honest, but gentle
and humble at the same time.
Do use I statements (not you state-
ments). (Such as, I am concerned it disturbs
our clients experience when there are
children in the salon. Not You are breaking
the rules when you bring your children to
the salon.)
Do focus on how the situation afects the
overall business.
Dont have a nasty attitude.
Dont attack or point ngers.
Dont have it be a me-me-me conversation.
Its not about you; its about the salon
and the clients.

Whether told as a childhood
dream that grew into a
reality or as a serendipitous
career move, the story of
how someone got into doing
nails is always interesting to
hear. Stories like these
remind us of the opportunity
available with a little luck
and a lot of hard work.

Colleen Murphy
A Finishing Touch Nail Studio, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I was a single mom, and while we lived comfortably, I had to watch my pennies
to have extra money at the end of the month. Pampering myself was a real (and rare)
treat.A friend referred me to her tech who had lower prices because she worked out of her
home.I loved it not just the pedicure but the whole experience.That nail technician planted
a seed that turned into a dream.It would be a huge risk to make the career change, but I wanted
to be able to make women feel as wonderful as I had felt.
I found a school that offered an evening course for nail certification, saved for my tuition, and
enrolled. I was old enough to be my classmates mother, or grandmother in some cases, but we had
fun. After I finished the course and passed my exam, I quickly realized how unprepared I was to start
performing services. This was the beginning of the real journey.
I read everything I could find online about nails. I read NAILS and other magazines every month
and more than once. I practiced on anyone who would lend a hand, even if they only had time for one
finger.During those days, my husband wore gels and got many pedicures!I spent hours and a small
fortune with one-on-one educators. I remember one instance in particular where an educator talked
me through the application while she performed a fill on my nails.I got into my car and drove
away, then pulled over, broke down, and cried.I was so frustrated! The nails were
thick, flared and uneven everything I was seeking help to avoid. I wanted to
pack it in, but I persevered. I spent hours at my nail desk working on training
hands, over and over and over. I started building confidence, and slowly
clients started coming and coming back. The best part was when
I realized I had found my confidence.I could do this. To this day, I
am still hungry to learn, and I doubt that will ever change. My
next goal is to be an educator.
Meggan Joy Anderson
NailD by Meggan, Burley, Idaho
As a little girl I always loved styling Barbies hair, so I made the
decision to go to cosmetology school. During school, I fell in love
with nails so much I didnt even finish the hair course; I switched
to become licensed as a nail tech. I did nails for about four
years, but then quit doing nails to try something new.
After a long absence, I began doing nails a couple of
days a week. I also began networking on Facebook to get
ideas on nail art. Then, in January 2010, I attended a class
with Young Nails, and I fell in love all over again. I had no
idea you could do all this crazy stuff with nails! Now, I keep
up with my education, and I love learning new things from fel-
low nail techs, Facebook, and NAILS Magazine. I was just voted
best nail tech in my area! I love what I do, and Ihave dreams of
becoming an educator and of owning my own salon someday.

Michelle Cordes
Gene Juarez Salon and Spas, Tacoma, Wash.
When I was 14, I began getting my nails done because I was a
nail biter. I loved getting my nails done. I wouldnt do them myself, and I
wouldnt let friends do them. I would babysit to have enough money to go
to a salon. When I was 20, I was going to a nail tech who would say to
me, You should go to nail school every two weeks when I went in
for my appointment. For years she badgered me, telling me I should
do nails. Finally I asked her why she thought so. She said I was the
only person she had ever met who was as picky as she was. I took
her advice and enrolled. She mentored me the whole way through
school and then I rented a booth from her when I graduated. In my
mind, I would do nails until I went to school for a real job. A year
later, I opened my own salon.
That was 15 years ago! Im still in the nail business, and I dont see
myself getting out. Oh and I finally did go to college. I gave up my
salon and began working full time as an employee so I could also at-
tend college full time. Ive become so interested in the scientific
aspect of nail products, Ive decided to major in business
and science.
Amanda Hearne
Laramie, Wyo.
Ive always been a bit of a tomboy. I grew up on a farm and loved
spending time on a horse or with the cows. I never dressed to follow trends,
and I didnt do much with my hair besides wear it in a ponytail. But I always did
my nails. My grandma would paint her nails to match her outfit every morning
before work, and I remember watching her drive in a way to avoid smudging her
wet polish. Her nails always looked amazing.I guess I picked up on that because I
loved doing my nails. I always painted them with different designs or crazy colors,
and then began playing with the DIY kits.
When I was a freshmen in college, my mom told me I could attend school and
earn my nail certification during the three summer months.So, thats what I
did: I attended school the summer between my freshmen and sophomore
years. With the money I made doing nails, I put myself through college
and supported myself for several years beyond graduation.
One of my favorite stories that captures how much I love nails is
about the time I was changing a starter in my pickup. My cousin was
watching me and commented, That has to be the funniest thing Ive ever
seen: greasy hands and hot pink fingernail polish. To this day, I still dont do
much to dress up or take pains with my hair, but my nails are always in good
shape. Im not working in a salon but find that people always ask my opin-
ions about trends, products, or techniques, so I stay current with my
license and try to keep one foot in the industry because I never
know when Ill be back.

Maggie Franklin
Art of Nailz, Visalia, Calif.
Like most good human psychology stories, the story begins with my mother. Mom
went to cosmetology school directly after high school, but had to give up doing hair within
two years because of severe reactions to the products. Still, I became familiar with the profes-
sional side of the salon industry. I saw the inside of a supply house but never the inside of a salon.
When I was 15, my mom took me to get my nails done. We were fortunate to have a nail tech who
was comfortable and eager to walk us through what she was doing step by step and communicate with us
honestly about technique and product because, as it turned out, Mom had an ulterior motive! She was using
me as a guinea pig to learn how acrylics were done so she could purchase professional products and do her own.
I let Mom do my nails once. From that point on, I did my own, and then, over the next few years I had two regular
techs: one I saw throughout most of my junior and senior years a woman not much older than myself who was
sweet and competent but not interested in building nails to my personal liking, learning new techniques, or addressing
my lifting issues. And Leanne.
Leanne introduced me to the term nail tech. Leanne used a nail drill, not a Dremel. Leannes implements sat in a
clearly labeled Barbicide canister, and the disinfectant was always clean and clear. Leanne subscribed to NAILS and
other industry magazines. Leanne went to beauty shows. She was the first nail tech I saw do pink-and-white nails.
I knew I wanted to be a nail tech, but school was pricey. Plus, it required me to show up five days a week at 8
a.m., a time that was and remains a ghastly hour. I wasnt willing, at 17, to give up my summer to do some-
thing so torturous. It wasnt until January 1992, when I found myself living 190 miles from home and working at
a job that was decimating my soul that I finally came around to a plan: I wanted to be a graphic designer.
This required going to school for at least two years, which meant I needed to find a job with decent pay and
flexible hours while I earned my certificate. So I enrolled in nail school. By the end of my first week, my fate was
sealed. I knew it was all I ever wanted to do.
After school, I moved back to my hometown and rented a booth at the salon Leanne had owned. How-
ever, in the six months it took to complete school and take my state board, Leanne sold her salon and
moved away.
Ive spent the last 20 years wishing I had gotten to know Leanne better. I lost touch with her,
and Ive never been able to find her. I wish I at least knew her last name so I could look her up
on Facebook. I dont even know if I spelled her name right. But I do know I owe her for
becoming the professional I am today.

Simply Natural Nails, Venice, Fla.
I got pregnant when I was 16 years old, and I realized I needed to
find a way to support myself and my son. Thinking about what to do for
work, I knew two things: I didnt want to work at McDonalds, and I loved
the smell of the salon where my mom went to get her nails done.
At the time, the vocational tech school offered a deal for high school
students. We could attend classes in the evening and had to pay only
for the cost of products. I completed the evening classes, earned my
license, and at 17 began working at a salon called Puttin on the Ritz.
I stayed there for three years, had a transitional period for about
eight months, and then began working at the Salon of Venice. Ive
been working with the same group of people for 11 years, the past
three-and-a-half as a self-employed technician within the salon.
There have been slow seasons, but Ive always been able to make
enough to support myself and my son. Even after all this time,
I still enjoy doing nails, and I cant imagine myself doing
anything else.

my other life
I can poke
holes in it, mash it,
roll it, or dip it in
crushed glass.

Donna Trull, nail tech
In her other life: glass bead artist
I rst became familiar with the ancient art of making beads from
glass called lampworking after taking a jewelry class at my local
craft store, says Donna Trull, a nail tech at Studio 413 Salon and Spa
in Albany, Ga. I couldnt nd any unique beads to design into jewelry, so I began
searching the web and realized there was a whole community of glass artists around
the world willing to share their knowledge. Trull bought a beginner kit and began
at her kitchen table. Soon she upgraded to a bigger torch, an oxygen concentrator (a
machine that makes pure oxygen from the air), and a kiln.
The glass she uses comes in colored rods about the size of a pencil. I choose a color
to work with and begin melting the rod in the ame of a 2,000F torch, she says. I
wind the melted glass onto a metal rod coated in a clay mixture to keep the hot glass
from sticking to the metal. Keeping the bead hot, I can then choose other colors and
make dots, swirls, and lines. I can poke holes in it, mash it, roll it, or dip it in crushed
glass. The possibilities are endless. After a bead is made, it is placed in a kiln heated
to 970F to stabilize the glass. This is a very hot job in south Georgia in the middle of
the summertime! says Trull.
Trulls jewelry is for sale at the salon, and her loose beads are available on Etsy.
com under the name dtclampwork. My clients love my beads and jewelry though they
occasionally express concern that I may quit nails one day to be a glass artist full time,
says Trull. I tell them not to fear as nails will always be my rst love, but who knows,
maybe 3,000 years from now someone will still be wearing a bead I made. How cool
would that be?
