Are you ready to take your work to the next level? Let me help you out. By implementing my time-saving tips, you can be more efficient, enhance the overall customer experience and fit in more clients. Let’s dive in…
1. Utilise online consultation forms.
Ask each client to fill out a detailed digital consultation form prior to their appointment. By doing so, you collect necessary information about their preferences and factors that may affect their service, allowing you to start working without a delay. As the information is stored digitally, you can also quickly refer to it when required.
2. Pre-design nail art elements.
Create your own nail stickers, 3D charms and stamping designs to use during appointments. This allows you to offer more variety of styles for clients, which you can charge extra for.
Create 3D charms on nail forms, then peel them off and store. To make stickers, paint designs onto silicone forms, peel them off and store in a dark place. For stamping designs, carry out the stamping process as normal. Once the designs are dry, apply a thin layer of base coat and cure for 20 seconds, before peeling off the styles and storing.
3. Create a digital nail design catalogue.
I use illustration app, Procreate, to design a collection of nail styles to inspire clients who either haven’t sourced nail inspiration, or can’t decide on a look. This aids the decision-making process and reduces the time spent deliberating at the nail desk.
4. Use multiple sets of tools.
Cut out the time-consuming process of cleaning and sterilising nail tools between appointments by owning a number of sets. I have 20 sets of nippers, cuticle pushers and drill bits, and I prep them once or twice a week depending on the amount of clients I have booked in.
