Hi all first time poster here.
it's a bit of a long one.
I've got my level 2 beauty therapy in Febuary and always felt like I struggled the most with polish application, but I still managed to pass (thank goodness). I didn't do any treatments until Sept and i mainly focused on manicure and pedicure. I still wasn't feeling happy with my finish so I got the essential nails manicure pedicure and gel polish and im currently working through that.
I've started working in a nail salon doing pedicure and manicures, whilst there im also being taught how to do acrylics (I'm going to study NVQ level 3 in nails in Jan)
I Just don't feel like im improving. Some days im happy with what I have done, most days im not.
today was a bad day i did an infill and my client said she'd come back when the owner was in so she could fix her nails. she was very polite about it but it just had me thinking shouldn't I be getting the hang of this by now.
I take over an hour for a pedicure. I also take close to 2 hours for a full set. I've been told I need to cut both those times in half.
how long does it usually take for your work to look of a professional standard? Is it that some people are naturally talented and im wasting my time.
any advice input is welcome
