Clear answers before you book.
Do I need to know nail terms first?
No. Start with a reference image and plain-language preferences such as short, natural, matte, clear or low-key. The brief turns those choices into a shared plan.
Can I choose no polish?
Yes. A natural, buffed or clear-coat finish is a first-class starting point. You can also request a subtle line or colour accent.
Will this change the core NailBrief workflow?
No. The same upload, visual notes, ten-finger map, artist timing and price feedback, and approval flow are used for every client.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Make the plan clear before the appointment.
Start with a reference image or a simple direction. You can keep the finish natural, add one detail or change everything later.
