There are plenty of talented nails techs whose work still doesn’t quite look the way they want it to….

And it’s definitely not down to lack of talent or because they don’t care

It can often be because they just haven’t been shown before!

A 1:1 at Refine isn’t about throwing more information at you, it’s about stripping your work back to basics and fixing what’s holding you back 🤗

What a day of Hard Gel training looks like 👀

And ps. Hard gel isn’t the only thing we cover

A full day of demonstrations, learning, practicing & leaving with skills you can take straight back to your studio

If Hard gel has been on your list for a while, I’d love to show you a different way of working

Send me a msg and I’ll see if it’s the right fit you 🩷🩷🩷

Honestly, 2024 me would of totally filed all the other nails down to match the broken one 🤷‍♀️

But now I have so many fixes up my sleeve 😎 broken corners ✅ missing length ✅ stress breaks ✅ overfiled sides ✅

That’s exactly what will be covering in the Refine Hard Gel Masterclass

If you are BIAB & Efile trained and using them without any issues Hard Gel is your next step ⭐️

“I don’t work over another tech’s work“

So every new client gets a full soak off….

Sometimes that’s the right decision ✅

Buttttt if the base is stable and all lifting has been removed, why remove a healthy protective layer of old product as well?

I still want to check the health of the natural nail, and I still want every bit of lifting gone

I simply don’t see the benefit in repeatedly filing the same part of natural nail that got filed / buffed last time if I don’t need to.

In most cases, I remove around 80-85% of the product, leaving a thin protective layer behind.

The goal isn’t removing everything.

The goal is knowing what needs to go and having the confidence to remove it safely

That’s one of the biggest things I see when nail techs learn to use an e-file confidently ⭐️

If working over another techs works makes you nervous 😥 DM EFILE

YOU DON’T NEED TEN THOUSAND E-FILE BITS!!!!

When my student arrived with 2 big boxes of Efile bits instantly in my head I was thinking ‘ I’d bin half of them’ 🗑️🚮🫣

I also got caught up with marketing when I first got efile trained thinking I need everything that I saw online ( to be fair I still also own boxes and boxes of efile bits 😂)

By the end of the 1:1 we simplified her prep routine and she fully understood exactly what and why she was using them

Look at the results 🩷

Yes you can buy another bit hoping that its the magic pill to clean prep but it will make no difference if you don’t fully understand it or have the confidence to use it

The goal isn’t more stuff it’s MORE SKILL

👌👌👌👌👌

If you actually want to know what your doing with your prep then book the 1:1 📞💋

You’re trained, you’re booked, great

From the outside no one would ever question your work 👀

Butttttt you know when your work isn’t quite right

Not bad, just not a good as it could be 🫤

Most techs stay in this same place, busy, repeating the same level of work year after year

If you want your work to improve, you need your work to stay current, you need someone to watch what your doing and correct any mistakes holding you back ⭐️

Ready to tighten up your work???

Still fixing the same problems every set??

Continuous lifting 🥺

Patching up breakages (that you pray will last) 🩹

Prep that never looks as clean as you want in photos 📸

At some point, it’s not just the product or client 🙈

If nothing changes, nothing will ever improve

In a Refine 1:1 everything gets corrected there and then

This is when your work improves ⭐️

La Finish File 🇫🇷

Filing at the very end of the mani - I’ve been doing this for years and not once has it negatively impacted a manicure or caused lifting/chipping

Note - I would only recommend it when you have a structured base of some sort, BIAB, hard gel etc

It actually strengthens the free edge area up! Plus makes your mani look clean and expensiveeeee 🤑

I use a nice thin file to really get in there 💪🏻 (this file was a little thick to be fair, but it did the job)

I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t do it?!? Takes 2 secs! *maybe a bit longer*

This step is taught in every Refine course ✌🏻

She chose BIAB for the colour 🙈

But it’s not what her nails needed! BIAB couldn’t give her the strength! She’s a busy mum, heavy handed and is washing and sanitising her hands all day

All of that combination = broken nail

(We had been doing hard gel previously and no issues!)

Luckily I know a super quick fix to mend a broken nail 👌🏻🥇 and it doesn’t require faffing around customising paper forms

Hard gel to the rescue 🛟

This wasn’t about a product issue, the product was just the wrong choice for her nails

This is exactly what we will be covering in Refine Pro Hard Gel Masterclass

A student asked if being introverted would hold her back

She was worried about having to talk all day and feeling drained

Being quiet or introverted is not a weakness!

You’re not there to perform 🎪 you’re there to give an awesome set of nails

Please don’t feel like you need to carry the conversation, be a councillor or talk about subjects your not comfortable talking about

Set the tone and set the boundaries from the beginning

Let clients know what to expect before they book

The ones who want to relax, chill and watch Netflix will book in the, the rest won’t!
