day in my life as a 19y/o nail tech ✨| Gel x Nails

[@soundwave7502]

Alot of people dont realize that just because the price converted to USD is relatively cheap, its doesnt mean the price is cheap compared to what workers are topically paid in japan

[@yumi_christina_masaki]

As a Japanese I swear she's not charging enough. In Tokyo those designs should cost at least 10k.

[@lkkg]

In my country they usually do nails for 2600-3900 yen if I convert it, more expensive places do them for 5000. So for me they seem expensive even though I live in our capital city. 😅

[@justgotserious9124]

Because getting nail art are considered luxury vs the regular manicure. There's really no correlation between different salaries and luxury service.

[@catmerchant8699]

@@lkkgthats for a simple set

[@lkkg]

@@catmerchant8699 that's for nail art as well usually. If you get plain short nails it's cheaper at some places, other places ask for the same price still when you get nail art or just plain nails, it just depends on length how much they ask for (at least at my nail tech and the ones I used to go to).

[@VictoriaAB]

Need a tutorial for both sets! 😍

[@dayneepartoriza4403]

Sameeeeeeeee

[@Miss_3lla]

YESSS

[@VampiirMuffiin]

the second one is easy you see she is using some kneadable gell thing i dont know the name at the moment dan put 4 balls of it down on the cured nail meiking a little dent to shape the flower leave and cure at last and after the top coat there komes the little stone in the design gets cured and it is finished ^^ the blue bit looks to me like shimmer powder or iridecend flakes ^^

[@georginafreida11223]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

[@blahblahcake105]

ONLY 57usd?? I've seen simple two color gel sets (w/ extensions) go for at most 90usd ! And they're so gooorgggg 😍

[@Lala_monzz]

That’s more than $25 an hour, she’s earning good😅

[@SadMoon20]

It depends on what country you live in. I live in Europe and mine is less then 40 $ 😅

[@sav5865]

a same exact set would’ve only cost me $15 in my home country. it really depends on the living cost of each country/city. i lived abroad and i had my nails done there (a solid color with extensions) for $42. for some paying $80 for nails is the norm, but in other places they’re usually much cheaper

[@hayley4032]

I think it’s conversion rate, Japanese yen is quite weak atm

[@aimayi8166]

When I went to china my grandma paid 42 usd or 300 rmb for extensions and a hand drawn design

[@nociceptors]

the last color set is SO gorgeous with her skin tone

[@astrayblackcat]

I love the fact you use soft gel tips, they are so good on the natural nails

[@Nailsbyjo]

The damage to your natural nails comes from the removal process or not using the correct bits for the natural nails.

Omg these are beautiful. You’d get at least $100 usd for each set before tip where I live in the US

[@darksat6]

compared to Japan you'd have to spend twice as much (if not more) in the US for the cost of living.

[@sansebastian9875]

[@StarmekiaBlane-vu7fk]

I need to start booking a flight to Japan ASAP 💯🤣🤣🤣😭 Just to get my nails done 👍😂

[@FabiaDosSantos1]

That's a crime! No wonder so many people do their own nails. In South Africa a new set of acrylic ombre is like $21 including generous tip! Can't compare USA to SA though!

[@ashleysary1891]

Nail tech here: Gorgeous work and your choice of song for this video worked cohesively 👏🏽

[@trysharoberts7733]

If you guys think the prices here are cheap in USD come to Romania. Gel extension with 3d designs and multiple colors came out 45 dollar USD

[@pantherinaeee]

In Brazil I've already paid 17 dollars (R$100), in simple salons it costs 20 dollars (R$120) and luxury salons 65 dollars (R$360)

[@soude85]

Sure but what’s the average income rate in Romania… $1000! Can’t just compare prices like that🙄

[@trysharoberts7733]

@@soude85 that’s true but as a Romanian living abroad it’s a really good price. Also the same thing is applicable for Japan…

exactly like when i converted the price i was a little shocked😭😭 it s still too much for us

Love that you as the tech your nails are done!!!

[@get.sassyxd]

Don't trust nail techs that don't have their nails done, honestly. Every time I got some done by someone with out even a clean/clear look on themselves, my nails turned out trash and broke/fell off within days. my techs who had their nails done, the work looked amazing and lasted forever!

[@Miss.831]

Finally someone who charges a reasonable price and isn’t robbing people $120 for a basic French tip. ❤

well its in japan so if she charged US prices then probs no customers

[@PolishAndPoly]

As a celeb press on nail artist myself-- your prices are suuuuuupppeerr reasonable. I strive (and am) the same with mine (depending on the difficulty of the set). Lovely work! Would also love a tutorial if you haven't made one already.

[@Catsaregoodandyourenot]

What kind of nail extension was that? It looked so much better than acrylic. And what happens when it grows out? Do you get new ones or can they be filled? Sorry for the question, but I hate acrylics and would love to do something different.

[@froggedupp]

Both looks are so stunning!!! And that setup is so relaxing omg

hi! I have two questions 1. Where did you get your organizer? 2. Also, how do you sterilize your instruments? As well as the bits? I saw a heat sterilizer on Amazon, but not sure if this is the right thing to purchase

[@nailsbysion]

hear sterilizers are good! just make sure to watch each tool with soap before putting it into the sterilizer. my steps are 1. wash 2. sanitize 3. heat sterilize

Girl you should ask for more because these are stunning!! These prices are for a basic set in The Netherlands 😅

[@영-x6r3m]

this is considered expensive in Japan given that more intricate nail designs go for around 6500 ish

[@08412_rendere]

if you guys compare the prices in the US (nail supplies, hours, plus rent out a building), ofc some places will charge you a lot because its crazy expensive to live there unless you get it done by a nail tech at home. in japan, looks like sion may have been doing nails for clients at her home(?), which is why she didn't charge more enough.

[@mchanel.]

Those just pop off

[@IslandGirlE87]

Full coverage tips are being used versus sculpted, as such less overall cost of time and material. So the customer feels they’re getting a good deal, yet her profit margin remains the same, if not better. Good job!

[@rebeccadawson6690]

Thats such a good price!! That would cost £100 easy in the uk!!

[@MajestyOmamoni]

Also a lot of the high end nail equipment is made and from Japan soooo it’s probably much cheaper to get there too 🫢
