Hi !
I started getting my nails done over a year ago and now I am obsessed! I have self taught myself to do acrylic and some nail art but obviously not to a professional standard.
I am currently training to be a hairdresser 3 days a week and working part time so I am very busy but I would love to train to be a nail tech so I could leave my current job (retail.. ugh ) and do nails while I complete my hair training which could take 2-3 years. I would also like to keep it as a side job when I become a hairdresser because it gives me a lot of joy
Almost all the nail tech jobs I have seen require an NVQ and the only NVQ courses I have found are week long intensive courses which I am fairly certain are a con,
Could anyone help me by suggesting ways to become NVQ qualified, which will be recognised as a high standard by employers and will not be a waste of my money ?
Realistically do you think I could be working as a nail tech within a year even in a local salon? Honest opinions will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks !!
