What is too long of time to do a full set?
So I am very new to doing nails. For all the nail techs out there please help me out. I am getting discorauged because I take too long to do nails. I started doing nails in July and since I am still in school I feel like I am never going to get faster. I practise on practise fingers but that is not the same as a full set. Do you guys recomend anything to help me move faster any short cuts lol?
Thank you,

For a Newbie, 2.5 hours is about the maximum amount of time you should be spending on a standard salon length set of pink & whites. The only thing that will reduce your time is time, practice and routine. Don't worry about it so much. It could take more than a year to get it under 2 hours and you may never get it under 1..5 hours! Worry about your quality, not your quantity.

I agree with Claudia. I'd say try not to worry about how long it's taking, just focus on putting out the very best set of nails you can. Your clients will appreciate a great set of nails more than a quick in and out. And the more you do the better and faster you'll get without comprimising the quality of your service. Just know we all start somewhere!! :)

thers no exact time since each client is different. on myself it takes me 3 hours and ive been doing them for a year lol bt hey most people can't even do them on themselves. On a client it takes me around 1 and a half hours for really simple bt if im doing long sets with a lot of decoration mayb 3. what i did to get faster is do my sisters nails all the time, good thing she loves getting them done and so does my mom. or get a practice hand and do sets on ur free time :)

Just keep doing sets and in time your pick up speed, you'll find your level of comfort and it will all fall into place Im a newbie ( licensed going on 7 months) and I already see the difference in the sets Im doing now! TIME, PATIENCE && PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!! Best Wishes Keep Painting!!!

I am a newbie too. To the beginning, I spent a lot of time to do nails and I becomed impatient and uneasy at that time. However, just keep on doing several times correctly, I make progress. Practice makes pertfects. Before you gain anything, do not give up.

All the Ladies has given excellent advice practice. It will take you far youll see in time. I can do a full set with designs in 45min. But theres a Big but ive been doing this since 1991. So with all that pratice is how I got that time down and youll do the same in time. My favorite thing to say is this didnt come over nite. But youll be fine in time. Have a awesome day.

I believe your finished product is far more important that timing yourself with a stop watch. I won't even take on a client that wants something in 45 minutes or less unless it's a simple fill on a set of pink and whites. I don't use tips so I am meticulous when sculpting. Very rarely do I have to file when a set is complete which knocks the time down considerably. Most often the nail art takes longer than doing a set. Just about every client I have came from a discount salon and love the fact that I take time to give them a set that COMPLIMENTS their hands and are not cookie-cutter thick boards. Even if I have to use tips I customize them to flatter a client's hands. I'd rather do 4 clients a day and have them fall in love with their hands than rack up ten a day knowing I didn't give my best.
