Whether you're a client or a tech, no one can wait for the product removal portion of a service to be over. But, this important step cannot be rushed.

Here, I present best practices for fast, effective, and safe product removal. Expert sources include Joy Johnson, China Glaze educator; Roxanne Valinoti, CND education manager; Rebecca Isa, Zoya creative director; Greg Salo, Young Nails president; Elaine Watson, Star Nail International vice president of sales and marketing; Serynin Peng, China Glaze Gelaze educator; and CND education ambassadors, Amanda Fontanarossa and Kristina Saindon.
