GEMZ - Nails & Lashes

WHY are people STILL asking nail techs to do their nails for £25–£30?! 🤯

Seriously.

It’s 2026.

The cost of EVERYTHING has gone up.

Products have gone up.
Electricity has gone up.
Insurance has gone up.
Equipment has gone up.
Training has gone up.
Rent has gone up.

Yet somehow, people still expect a qualified nail technician to spend 2–3 hours doing a full set — sometimes including detailed nail art — for £25–£30.

Think about that.

Once that technician has paid their product costs, overheads, tax and all the other expenses involved in running a legitimate business…

what exactly are you expecting them to earn?

Because £25 isn’t £25 in their pocket.

You’re not just paying for a bottle of gel or a bit of acrylic.

You’re paying for YEARS of experience, education and practice.

You’re paying for professional products.

You’re paying for correctly maintained equipment.

You’re paying for hygiene and safety.

You’re paying for the technician who has spent thousands building their kit and developing their skills.

And most importantly…

YOU’RE PAYING FOR THEIR TIME.

We need to stop normalising ridiculously cheap nail appointments and then questioning technicians who charge enough to actually run a sustainable business.

If someone chooses to charge £25, that’s their business.

But please stop expecting every nail technician to match it.

A professional nail technician shouldn’t have to apologise for wanting to earn more than minimum wage after expenses.

It’s 2026. Why are we STILL expecting £25 nails?

Nail techs — SHARE THIS. 👏🏻

Just a little notice to let all my lovely clients know that, from 1st November, there will be a small price increase on my treatments.

Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of products and supplies, I’ve had to make this change.
