BIAB Application — 10-Step Salon Workflow
The Lavis BIAB application sequence: (1) cuticle work + file/buff, (2) dust removal + acetone wipe, (3) dehydrator until matte, (4) Lavis Protein Bond or the 2-in-1 Bond + Primer shortcut (saves a step), (5) base coat thin layer + cure, (6) Builder slip layer light first pass + cure, (7) Builder thick coat to build and seal apex + cure, (8) file and buff to shape + wipe clean, (9) color coat optional + cure, (10) Lavis top coat + cure. Color always applied AFTER shaping, not before builder. Yield per bottle: ~30-40 sets. Shortcut: Replace step 4 with Lavis Primer & Protein Bond 2-in-1 to save time without compromising retention.
