Why are gel nails becoming so popular? Gel nails are the future of the nail industry. 90% of the nail techs in Europe have been using gel for years, and it is estimated that in the USA, gels will increase 45% over the next five years! The time to learn and profit from gels is now! Clients want natural beauty combined with strength and durability. Gels are the new "hot" service that clients are demanding. Gel seems more expensive than acrylic, is it worth the extra money for the products and equipment? Gel nails will never be a "discount service", they have defined a separate niche for themselves becoming a permanent solution to hand and nail beauty. They stand out noticeably, creating multiple referrals and new clients. And once mastered, they take less time and use less product because gels hold up so well. Clients want and are willing to pay for "high-end services". Adding gel services to your menu is an opportunity to raise your income. Charge more for gel nails, they are worth every penny! Why aren't more Nail Techs using Gel? Gels are easy to learn, but HARD TO MASTER!! Experience and practice is the key. Don't be fooled by companies who claim that applying gel is as easy as polishing. Many nail techs buy a gel system without any training, and when it doesn't work out, they give up and go back to what they've already mastered. It's not easy to teach an old dog new tricks. Training and dedication is the key.
