Yes, learning to do them yourself saves a lot of time and money and can be a lot of fun, but sometimes you want to feel pampered and get them done. A way to avoid feeling like you're not being listened to is to find a nail tech you like and stay consistent with them. It can be hard finding a nail tech that you mesh with, but once you do and you go to them every time, you build a relationship with them, and it can make the experience that much better! Also, you should NEVER feel like you're inconveniencing your nail tech! They're doing their job, and you're paying for their service. If you do feel like that, you should definitely find a new nail tech! Getting our nails done is a luxury and it should feel like it! :)

I think it’s more of her clarifying that if she has to spend more time on the “maintenance” part of the manicure then there may not be enough time for nail art or similar things and that waiting past a certain point risks your nail health and having to repair the damage costs more. Both are valid points, especially since fungus and stuff can grow under lifted gel and if she has a full appointment book then going over on one appointment means running late for other appointments and would punish other clients. It’s a luxury, but knowing the risks associated with any service and being respectful of both her and other clients time is important

You might want to let people know that they should advise their nail tech that they’re overdue for an appointment. Or simply asking **when they last had an appointment** at the time you schedule them on calls. Additionally, always be ready to schedule their next appointment with you when they check out. You can give them a courtesy call, text or email a day or two before the appointment to remind them and ask if they can still make the appointment. This will help them keep appointments and allow them to cancel without added pressure. You may also ask them what they would like to do, when scheduling the appointment in order to prepare for time. Asking how long since their last appointment and what they prefer to have done will let you schedule a longer appointment, give them a spot with an open appointment after theirs or give them a spot that’s at the end of the day. That way you can plan ahead and there’s no shaming them for not being able to make appointments or afford them.

I am Russian and live in Russia. Yes, our girls are the best. And hardware manicure is very safe if the master is good! You need to study, there are courses for that. And about the safety of instruments - there is sterilization, it is not just treated with alcohol, but like medical instruments, each client has his own package of instruments, they even show you that they have been processed, a special icon on the package that appears during heat treatment. So don’t be afraid and go to our masters, that’s why they have a lot of experience and education.❤️ And I have been doing manicures for 7 years now, and my nails are healthy, cutting the cuticles does not affect their health. A good manicure will last 3 weeks. I repeat, the master must be qualified.

There are a good amount of nail technicians like myself & the influencer in this video that are in the US and only provide dry/combo (aka Russian) manicures. We HAVE to go to school, we have to be licensed by law, and we would NEVER clean our tools and implements using alcohol. I use the exact same sterilization and disinfection process that is done in Russia, which is a multiple step process involving soaking a required minimum amount of time in a medical grade disinfectant solution, scrubbing & rinsing with fresh water, packaged into individual sterilization pouches, and placed in the autoclave for heat sterilization. In the US it is not required to use an autoclave but I know I’m not the only one that uses one. Just like the tech in the video I recommend my clients return every 4wks, not 3wks, but it depends on the clients nails & lifestyle. Also, 99% of the viewers are in the US so they definitely aren’t about to go to Russia for a manicure lol… the US also has nail styles that they would never be able to get done in Russia lol… even though I only do Russian manicures I still am fully stocked with a huge variety of bling, charms, etc… and I don’t just use gel, depending on the situation I might use acrylic instead for enhancements. We have a huge range of ‘styles’ in the US..

As a russian who lives in US and doing my own nails for over 5 years now. I can tell for sure its all about product you use. Yes for some people its about 2-3 weeks depends on your nails but if you use proper product that specifically for your nail type you can easily go longer then 2 weeks. All of this comments about fungus and bacteria are not true ! If you use right product and doing right steps you will never get that. I never even sterilize my tools and never got bacteria or fungus on my nails ! I swear by GAYO products been using them for over a year now and in love with how easy it goes on the nails and i dont even need to do tricks with application. I just do 1 base coat 2-3 color coats and then 1-2 top coats (depends on my mood) and thats it. I can go like this for several weeks and i m in cleaning business so my nails get extra damage which doesnt happen anymore after finding the product that helps my nails. Its a lot of try and errors but its all about product you use on your nails and asians salons do your nails bad on purpose so you would come back sooner to "fix it" or "hide it" until you would have to come to podiatry doctor to actually remove your nail and that surgery coast from 5k to 10k if your insurance doesnt cover it.

When i tell u it gets easier😂😂😂😂 Ab a year ago it took me EIGHT HOURSSSSSS to do my nails. I started with polygel. After ab 5-6 months i got it down to 5 hrs. Its been a little over a year and on average im at 2-3 hours. When youre doing your own nails it will take that long. Narrator in the vid even says the appointments take 2 hours. So if youre at 3-4 right now thats actually not bad. I timed myself and still do and then when doing my nails if i feel myself slacking i pick up the pace but care for detail. U really have to get practicing and get used to brush strokes and how to control your hand to get the design u want. Practice on a piece of foil before u do the nail. Theres also different tools u can use to achieve certain designs. Some ppl use brush, toothpicks, dotting tool or the wooden stick. You’ll figure out what works best for u. Also make sure your products/polishes arent cheaply made. Im thinking ab documenting my own nail journey to help others but idk. Hope this helps
