No. 2 Volleyball defeats No. 10 Nebraska, 3-1, advances to NCAA semifinals TexasSports.com

An errant Nebraska attack and a block from Texas' Rachael Adams and Amber Roberson staked Texas to a 21-16 lead. The Huskers answered with kills from Werth and Gina Mancuso to cut the lead to 21-18 and force a Texas timeout. UT's Faucette smacked two more kills to stretch the lead out to 23-18, and after another Nebraska timeout, a Hooker kill and a double block from Faucette and Adams put away the second set for Texas, 25-18.

Hooker nailed her third service ace in set three to put Texas up 5-2.  Leading 11-7, Hooker chased down an errant Texas dig near the scorer's table and fed Faucette, who connected for a kill to give Texas an 11-7 lead and force a Nebraska timeout.

Leading 13-8, UT picked up kills from Hooker and Roberson to take a 15-8 lead. Texas followed a Hooker service error with a kill and a service ace from Jennifer Doris , as UT assumed a 17-9 lead and forced another Nebraska timeout. 

The Longhorns stretched their lead to 19-10 and benefited from numerous Nebraska miscues, including two services aces, to set up match point at 24-15.  Nebraska's Delano saved one set point with a kill, but Doris answered for Texas to put away the third set for the Longhorns, 25-16. 

How long before I should start charging for gel nail services?

I've just taken a course and done 7 sets of full nails (tips and sculpted).
I'd like to get started with my business now but not sure if clients will appreciate the length of time to do the nails. My volunteers have been very willing to sit for the 2 and 1/2 hours it takes... what do you think?


You have a long ways to go yet. Seven full sets is nothing, to be honest. A working nail tech can easily do seven full sets in a single day. It takes a long time to get good at gels. An idea would be to charge clients a very nominal fee to cover the product cost - maybe like $5 or so? This way would provide experience for you. But, a new nail tech won't do very well when first starting out. Its best to work for someone else for a while until you build your 'book.' Then maybe you can consider going out on your own, but not for several years. Either way, there will be many days and nights when you won't have a single client booked, yet you still have to be at the salon - just in case. Starting in this business is most definitely not an easy thing to do. But, everyone has to start some place. You need to pay your dues first, and then you can consider your future. This means working all sorts of crazy hours, nights, weekends, some holidays (not many) and so on. If they told you any differently in nail school. they weren't being honest with you.


o_O over two hours... you better talk to them while you do them.


answer mine: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnvZmamPFY2TmotFLt0dAWvsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080923191832AAOmSeX

Do you prefer a nail salon that offers artificial nails or just natural nail services?

And why?


I prefer a salon that offers both, because sometimes i feel like i want more dramatic nails and some days i don't.


Most salons have both services. I always used to go the acrylic way when I was younger. But now I'm older and prefer the natural look.


i PR3F3R ARTiFiCiAL NAiLZ B3TT3R B3CAUS3 iTtZ ToUGH3R AND GiV3S MoR3 oF A SHiN3


i dont really think its a moral choice is it, i really wouldnt care, as long as they offered what i wanted! i cant see how it could possibly affect me


i would prefer just natural nails because i think that artificial nails are cheap and wasteful.


I prefer acrylic nails, because I can't grow natural nails myself. Artificial names are very hard on your natural nails. I usually wear acrylic nails about 6mths then give my real nails a break.

What nail services should I have or avoid if I suffer from mild dermatitis?



ALL OF THEM!! It's just gross and nothing good can come of it!!

This may seem a bit harsh, but I had a friend that went to a very high-class salon that passed on a fungus to her. Maybe wal-mart is better, but I wouldn't trust any of it.

Get a bucket for you feet and treat yourself to a pedi. Take a sweet bath and treat yourself to both a mani and a pedi.

would i ahve to be licensed by my state to perform nail services?

and also to advertise?
do you knwo of anyplace in the Us that offers a course for a nail tech certificate in 2 or 3 days?
i saw that there is one in the UK but i cant seem to find one in the US
THanks


You need to check with your state's board that licenses beauticians, cosmetologists, and estheticians. Your question doesn't tell us where you are, so it's a little difficult to give you an answer that is accurate for your state.


I own a salon and spa and to professional be a nail tech you need to go to school (beauty school) and get a license. If your just doing your friends or whatever its a different story. Hope this helps!

I'm stuck on my college nail services work, HELP, please!!?

the question of my work is:
what is the adaption of massage on skin conditions of:
acne skin,
mature skin,
puffy eyes,
broken capillaries
and vasular skin.

i really need some help with this question its got to be handed in tomorrow lol!!

(serious answers please!)


I don't think it will do anything for acne. Mature skin might get the blood flowing again and make it look a little younger. Puffy eyes could take the puffiness out. But so will some extra sleep. Broken caps may get the repair it needs with more blood coming in.

In a nail spa, what atmosphere and services will make you want to return for future services?

Thinking of opening a nail spa, but I want to keep it simple but make sure that the customers come back for more. What do you like about your current nail place? What do you hate about your current nail place?


When the girl that doing your nails or toes doesn't talk crap about you in their language. I want to go to an American owned salon, but there aren't any in my area. I would mind paying $10 more to go to your shop if you still did good work, and your technicians were polite. I also hate how they make appointments and then don't honor them.


well at mine they perm the haris on my toes.


hygienic tools, clean surroundings, good smelling, gentle hands, courteous and friendly staff but not too friendly that they invade your time to relax. a comfy chair that you can sit in for 3 hours w/o getting your but numb or hurting your back. relaxed interiors, calming colors. a wide selection of nail colors and services is also important.

the place i go to has a relaxing atmosphere and sterile tools. even if you get a basic pedicure they wash your feet in warm water which is great and hygienic too. the chairs are comfy and the lighting is sufficient but not too bright to disturb your calmness. i love the fact that they give you a massage with the customary pedicure. they often wrestle with my cuticles and ingrown nails which are painful and sometimes bleed. they offer acrylics, press ons and nail art, massages, nail repair, nail treatments, callus treatments, parafin waxing... what i don't like is that you have to pay extra for a non-OPI color. the colors that i like are not in OPI's line so instead of paying extra i bring my own polish.


The salon i go to is awesome they have a fen shui style and it is so relaxing it also smells great. and a big smile and great sense of humor. good luck .


I like that there is music playing and that there is a large selection of nail colors so I can do something different everytime. I like that mine doesn't smell strongly like chemicals, it's only faint in the air. I like that the people are incredibly friendly without needing to have a conversation. I don't like that it's tacky. I've been to nail places where the foot massager is literally a $20 Homedics at home one and that turned me right off. I like the leather massage chairs that my place has and I like that the chairs that you sit on to get manicures and pedicures are soft and cushy as well. I also like when a large variety of services are offered like waxing, nails, you could even have an electrolysis rent a space and generate so business that way. Another thing I don't like are the appliances. I think that a nail salon should be sleek and crisp and clean no matter how old it may be. That means stainless steals and crisp counter tops, not gauche peeling gold and cheep plastic counters. I think that you can have a beautiful soothing salon on a small budget even. You just need the right places to look for things. It can be clean and safe and sanitary and still be bautiful with water fountains and a selection of glossy magazines. I hope yo do it, that sounds like a lot of fun.


Make sure the setting has a luxurious feeling to it. When women go for Manicures and Pedicures, etc. We want to feel pampered. Comfy chairs, LOTS of good magazines, clean restrooms, Those massaging chairs for Pedicures, Nice artwork on the wall (not the tacky pics of french manicured nails w/ the hand holding an ice cream cone). Good back ground music, and a friendly staff that remembers your name. All of these things embody my local nail salon and it keeps me coming back for more! I also highly recommend them to anyone who asks.

Also, make sure that the employees don't ask if the person wants a lip wax or an eyebrow wax. Some lady asked me that once while I was getting a pedicure and I felt very offended. If we want any of those services we'll ask.

What you girls dislikes most about nail salons, the tech, atmoshpere, or just services.?

I running a salon, and would like to get a general feel of you ladies dislike about nail salons


i wish the people that worked there were more talkative. and not to sound rude, but 90 % of nail salons have lttle asian girls working there that barely speak english. and i think this is really wrong

and when they talk on hte phone, or yell at each other in another language. its annoying cause their not conentrating.

i liek a cozy, warm, friendly enviroment. lots of magazines, music and talkative people.

hope; this helpsssss


I think the stylists should be happier and make small talk.
That would be nice.


The smells are soo strong. I feel like I'm being poisoned every time I go in one.


I don't like when the nail technicians talk in Korean.


I would say the smell, although sometimes that is unavoidable, and I don't like when I am getting my nails done and the esthetician is talking to a co-worker or on the phone!


The smell and noises.

Is there anyone in the OKC area with a mannequin hand (used for practicing nail services) that would sell it?

I need it for the manicure part of my state board test and I'll pay as much as $40. I have to have it by Sunday night. Please help.
Even anywhere around OKC. Pretty much anywhere within a 30 mile radius of the metro.

I'm a new nail tech and I need help figuring out prices for my nail services...?

I don't want to cut myself short on profits but I don't want to "over charge" clients since I am a new nail tech and still a little rough around the edges. I thought about matching my prices to those of the nail salons in Wal-Mart until I get more experience.


i created my prices the same way....check out the chop shops in your area (asians) as well as the high end salons and get your prices right in the middle....you're right you dont want to cut yourself short but you also dont want to knock your clients over the head either....so get somewhere in the middle...normally the asians charge 12-15 for a f/s and the higher ends charge 25-45 so your price could be between 20-22...but also keep in mind if you're buying your own products...if you're going to be a booth renter then there shouldnt be a problem but if you're doing commission or hourly then its up to the shop you're in to set the prices....if you would like check out my profile here and come on join my yahoo group....put in the reason you want to join that i answered your question on answers
