The number one reason a client chooses to leave her regular salon is because she gets bored, and is seeking change. A great way to get your client-and her friends!-back at your nail station is to keep her excited about coming back.

When your client's cellphone rang, did you notice the ringtone was the latest Katy Perry song? She mentioned she wants a thick topcoat to make sure her polish doesn't chip during tennis practice. Remember when she told you she's planning a trip to Barcelona this spring? Are you listening? These are three great ways to customize your client's nails! With OPI's newest Katy Perry line, or the Serena Williams Glam Slam line or the classic Espana collection, your clients will love talking about their manicures (and the fun names!) with friends!

To really keep things interesting, consider topping off each nail with a coat of Black Shatter, for a look that really serves up some style.

Listen, and Customize!
