John Hauk, OPI technical advisor, award-winning competitor, and salon owner, speaks about a common problem that is slowing down services in salons. The culprit? Spending too much time on filing.

“The biggest mistake I see techs making is applying too much product and then spending a lot of time filing the excess away into a nail shape.
