Hi everyone,

Just getting used to this site, a little hard to navigate for a beginner but I'll get the hang of it. I'm in Michigan, anyone else?? I'm coming off a 4 1/2 yr leave and ready to hit it! I'm anxious to get back into the profession I've been so passionate about for the past 19 yrs. I've been reading up and doing some research and wow things sure have advanced and changed. I'm a CND lover for years and thinking of switching to gel. I've been looking for a job but find that alot of salons only want gel. Ugh I hate to change my love for acyrlics but I guess I have to change with the times, besides I think it healthier. I developed arthitis in my lower back and neck and developed a growth in my left nostril and had it removed a few years back. Since then I worked as a teachers aide and a receptionist and hated everyday of it. I was destined to nails and be my own boss. I missed the flexible hours and especially with kids, I never want to miss those special moments in school, etc. Just looking for a Michigan buddy I can get some tips from, Ohio and Indiana would be great too. Hope to hear from you all soon, Blessings to you and yours!! Lynn
