THE TIERED EXPERIENCE
NAIL NINJA uses a tiered system, which is a skill-level based grading system with which we measure the overall technical and artistic ability of each of our nail artists. Clients are encouraged to read the definition of each tier so that they may better understand the capabilities of each artist. This will assist clients in choosing an artist that falls into their desired price point, and to fully understand the level of technical and artistic expectations they should have of each tier level.
Price point: $-$$
Single Color Gel Mani starts at $45
Gel Polish Pedi starts at $65
Tier 1 artists are newly graduated apprentices or artists who typically have 1-2 years of experience in the industry. Expect good shaping, cuticle work, refining and polish application. Product longevity expectations may be around two weeks. Your artist may take several photos of your nails to be reviewed by management for continued education and training. Tier 1 artists have basic art skills and may not yet be prepared to fulfill detailed art requests.
Clients who see a Tier 1 artist should be kind, patient and understanding of the fact that their artist is still developing their skills. Clients who book with Tier 1 artists understand that this lower price point indicates their acknowledgement of beginner-level skillset. NAIL NINJA would appreciate thorough and polite feedback after a service with a Tier 1 artist so that we can provide continuing education for their advancement.
NAIL NINJA will cover repairs within 7 days of the original service with a Tier 1 artist.
