There\u2019s no denying that this is a lucrative industry! Even in the face of the pandemic, people still wanted their nails done. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you\u2019re getting into the industry, it\u2019s vital you know how to create a range of nail looks, helping you maximize your client list and improve your services. One of the most in-demand looks of the moment is natural looking acrylic nails.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you\u2019re not sure how to create these, take a look at this guide for help. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-what-are-natural-looking-acrylic-nails\"><b>What Are Natural Looking Acrylic Nails?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Acrylic nails are artificial nails that are made from a liquid monomer and a powder. The solution turns into a dough-like substance when mixed together which can then be used over the top of the existing nail to create longer and more even nails. Over the past few years, this type of nail extension has become super popular!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Acrylic nails have a reputation for being super long, super bold, and super obvious. But, they don\u2019t have to be. If you have a client who\u2019s looking for natural looking fake nails, you can definitely get the look with acrylics!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>In terms of what you can charge, a full set of natural acrylic nails can be anywhere from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womansworld.com\/gallery\/beauty\/acrylic-nails-163605#:~:text=The%20price%20of%20acrylic%20nails,increase%20to%20%2450%20or%20%2460.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span>$35 to $60<\/span><\/a><span>, depending on your experience and the quality of your nails. For more creative looks that involve multiple colors, unique shapes, and even embellishments like gems, a full-set can reach a high of around $100-$120!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Even though it may be tempting to only offer the more expensive option, it\u2019s vital you can do simpler, natural looks to diversify your services. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_586337201-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-how-to-create-natural-acrylics\"><b>How to Create Natural Acrylics<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you have a client on the hunt for natural looking artificial nails, here\u2019s how to achieve the look with acrylics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Start by preparing the nails as you normally would, cleaning them, trimming them, and filing them down to create a smooth surface to work on. It\u2019s also a good idea to push the cuticles back at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Dip a brush into your liquid monomer and powder, and apply the dough-like substance to the nail. Gently press down to begin shaping the acrylic on the nail.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>For natural nails, don\u2019t make the length long. Instead, take the acrylic just beyond the natural nail\u2019s end, and shape with a normal, slightly-rounded tip. Once the acrylic is applied and shaped, file down to a natural look and buff the nail.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>To finish the look, apply a clear gloss to the nail, and voila; you\u2019re done! Natural looking acrylics are super simple to do once you know how, and they\u2019re definitely a crowd-pleaser. The acrylics should last between 2-3 weeks before they\u2019ll need to be filled at the base of the nail to cover regrowth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-other-types-of-artificial-nails\"><b>Other Types of Artificial Nails<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If your client isn\u2019t keen on acrylics, there are plenty of other natural looking artificial nails out there! Let\u2019s take a look at some of the options you can do at your salon to keep your customers happy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-gel-nails\"><b>Gel Nails<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span>The modern-day gel applied to nails is almost like nail polish, making it super easy to do! It\u2019s not thick and doesn\u2019t need shaping; simply paint on, dry and you\u2019re good to go. Just make sure to shape the nail beneath to get a natural finish. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>To apply, brush the gel on and place your client\u2019s nails beneath <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/blog\/nail-lamp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span>UV light<\/span><\/a><span> between each coat. This will harden the gel, making it durable and strong so that the nails won\u2019t chip. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>A full set of gel nails will cost, on average, $50, but that price will increase the more creative and custom the look gets. They\u2019re slightly more expensive than acrylic nails, but they last a long time!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Just like with acrylics, your customers should come back every 2-3 weeks to get the nail regrowth filled in. To remove acrylics, the nails have to be soaked in a polish remover.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/solutions\/salon-management-software\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_term=image-link9&amp;utm_content=blog-cta-solutions-salon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"847\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2798\" style=\"width:606px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024.png 847w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024-768x194.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-silk-nails\"><b>Silk Nails<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Silk nails are actually perfect for weak nails as, unlike the other methods, they\u2019re protective and can help your clients\u2019 nails grow. They\u2019re achieved by gluing fabric onto the nail. Usually, this is silk, but you can also use paper, linen, or fiberglass.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>These nails are temporary and will fall off in a couple of weeks, but they do wonders for nails! A full-set of silk nails will cost around $40-60.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-fake-nails\"><b>Fake Nails<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Fake nails are the type that can be bought in shops, and they\u2019re not as common in salons. However, there\u2019s nothing stopping you from offering them as a service! Some technicians find a business in creating beautiful, custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faire.com\/discover\/fake-nails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fake nails<\/a> for their clients that they wouldn\u2019t be able to find in a store.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you glue the fake nails on properly and your client takes care of them, they can last up to a couple of weeks. Prices on these range dramatically, from super cheap store-bought to custom nails, which can cost up to around $150! If you have clients looking for a temporary nail for an event, these could be the perfect solution. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_1668831307-1024x737.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-offer-a-full-range-of-services\"><b>Offer a Full Range of Services<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you\u2019re setting up a beauty salon, it\u2019s vital you know how to create a range of nail looks to keep your customers happy.
