Nail Care Tips & Advice

I need to you be honest here.

1. Have you ever written a beauty salon/spa business plan?

2. If so – did you stick to it?

Contrary to pretty much every piece of advice you’ll ever get, I submit to you that business plans are a complete waste of time…

You might as well get a big fat marker pen, scribble a load of garbage of some A4 paper, staple it together and put it on a shelf instead.

It’s a hell of a lot quicker and just as useful.

If you’re yet to open your beauty salon, hair salon, nail salon or spa and are looking for financing then you may well be thinking I’ve lost my marbles.

There’s no way a bank will lend you money without a beauty salon business plan!

Possibly true.

But having that beauty salon business plan isn’t the answer.

What a bank wants to know is:

1. Are you worthy of credit.

2. Can you get enough customers to pay it back????

And the best way to demonstrate that it is to PROVE you KNOW how to get as many clients as you’ll ever need!

They don’t care what your beauty salon MISSION statement is – nor does anyone else but you.

They don’t care about graphs with this line going here and this line going here and if I change this, this one goes here.

Waste ‘a time —-…..

So instead you need to go about DEMONSTRATING you KNOW how to get all these lovely clients who will pay you handsomely for your high quality treatments and products.

How do you do that?

Well, if you don’t know how to do it yet you need to ‘hook up’ with someone like me who will show you how.

If you’re trying to find a way  to bring your nail business up to the next level without breaking the bank or learning a complex new technique, investing in a few ceramic nail art canes could be just the right move! These brightly coloured handmade canes are also frequently referred to as “Fimo canes” and are a great favourite among clients.

Usually, these handmade ceramic canes have been put through a careful quality control process. Simply put, we won’t let one of these canes get on its way out of our storage warehouse without first making utterly sure that it is of only the highest quality. Sure, you can find cheap canes floating around the internet, but if you’ve bought these in the past, you know why they don’t do as well as the original. What makes “Viva La Nails” unique is that we only sell genuine hand crafted ceramic canes.

We are so serious about this claim that if you have any complaints about this product within the first 4 weeks, we will take it back for a full refund or store credit. You won’t find that kind of guarantee with cheap generic nail art canes.

Why Ceramic Nail Art Canes?

You can also buy canes that are already sliced, but there is a reason why majority of nail art technicians work with whole nail art canes. I know from personal experience that pre-cut pieces will only work on some clients as slices are too thick for most occasions. If you want to get highest quality designs always, buying whole canes is the way to go. With a whole cane, you can cut slices as thin as you like, making them perfect for application even on natural nails.

The most common way to use nail art canes is to cut them in 0.1 mm – 0.2 mm thin pieces and place them between 2 layers of clear gel. The start of this technique can be found few years ago when first ceramic nail art canes, in a form of fruits (raspberries, oranges, kiwi etc.) become available to professional technicians. These days, there are hundreds of patterns available so you really don’t have to stick with that fruit pie look anymore!

The only problem is that you will need a special nail art cutting blade. However, this tool is reasonably priced and well worth the investment. Just make sure to watch out! The blade is super sharp. This makes it perfect for cutting razor thin pieces from your nail art canes.

You can buy both individual nail art canes as well as cane sets which offer great value and selection of canes! So, whether you need an entire collection of ceramic nail canes or just need to stock up on one particular style, we’ve got what you need.

Most popular categories are: Butterflies, Smiles, Sweets, Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables. This should be more than enough to keep your clients happy for some time!

Each cane is about 50 mm long with a diameter of 5mm. Depending on the thickness of your slices, you should be able to get around 100 pieces from each cane.

Be sure to come back frequently because we receive new styles at our company all of the time. Offering a large variaty of nail art canes to your clients is the way to go!
