Acrylic nail help please?

Alright so I'm new to the world of Acrylic nails, and I need some help. When you go into the shop, there's always a little form there where you write your name and what you want. If I wanted a full set with a french manicure, what do I write? FS french? Or do I have to say anything at all about the french part? All of the nail shops in my area are owned and operated by Chinese people and I have a really tough time understanding their accents. How much do I tip?Acrylic nail help please?
Ask for a full set of sculpted pink and whites, and let them know how much you want the tip to extend. (Hint: don't get them too long or you will have difficulty doing every day stuff like getting dressed.) They should sculpt with acrylics and NOT use plastic tips. If they say it's the only way they do it, I suggest you go somewhere that does it right. Hopefully you have already made sure that they don't use MMA, a substance banned but still in use in many Asian salons. How much you tip will depend on how much they charge. I would charge $60 for a full set of P%26amp;Ws and a typical tip would be $10.Acrylic nail help please?
A lot of people think they are chinese, but something like 99% of all nail salons are vietnamese (asian). There are a few american nail techs, but they don't ever last very long, and end up going out of business because they cannot compete with the really high quality nails and low prices you get from an asian salon. You just have to tell them what you want. Just tell them full set or white tips (or write it down for them). They will know what you mean. You should tip about 20% usually which comes out to be like 4 dollars for a full set since you shouldn't have to pay anymore than maybe $20-$30, but never any more than that for a full set of acrylic nails. I've gotten my nails done for $14 in one salon I use to go to. You just have to shop around a bit for the best priced salon. Good luck and enjoy!
Well if u have an appointment u tell them u want an acrylic french manicure..are if u have a walk in just tell them the exact same thing. When i go get my nails done i always do a walk in..and they always ask me what i want..i usually do fiberglass french manicure and they just seat me and call me when im up..just answer there questions on how u want it done. Its easy dont worrie 2 much..most asian spots dont do form write ups u just get it done and pay after..for a full set over here its about $18 and u should tip depending on how well they did ur nails..(shape, size, bubbles..etc)..but make sure u look at the price b4 u pay them or start because some are very sneaky and raise the price bcuz they added the tip and they fool u buy U tiping them some more..it happened 2 my friend. Good luck.
you could write full set french or acrylic tips french, they should understand either one. or look to see if they have a board with all the things you can get and their prices and copy down what they have written for it . %26amp; i usually tip $5 when i get them
I've never been into a nail shop with a form you write on. Usually they just ask what you want and you tell them you want a full set. Once you sit down with them you just let them know you want the white tip.
you just have to write full set -- so then they will ask you what you want when your getting them done %26amp; i just tip like 4 haha
