I have been training,learning and practicing for over two years. I breathe nails pretty much. Research every night watch videos every day. Its the only thing I have ever felt happy doing. I want to Then go on to have my own salon. I do have a small business working from home and sometimes mobile all my clients are word of mouth too. I worked really hard to get where I am etc its been a long year started training in extensions a year ago but gel polish two year ago. I didn't jump straight into nails I found out what was professional what wasn't etc.
Anyway at the time when I started my business of my friends did not really support me in the slightest. We think it was the green eyed monster but it's not my fault. You reap what you sow. This friend is finding it hard being on benefits and sick of struggling with money but hasn't tried a job so now she wants to start up doing nails but mainly beauty. No real passion for doing nails as she said it's just to get a bit of money to keep her going.
This has really annoyed me because I don't do nails for the money i do nails because I have a passion for it. Her thing is beauty and I feel like she's now acting like it's her passion. When I have let her practice on me and in the beginning told her things here and there cause she's going on training beginning of next year so thought would show her my way of things which I regret because I worked hard and had no one help me. It just feels like she couldn't see me doing what I love she had to do the same. I don't see why she couldn't have done the courses for beauty and make up which is what she wants for the price of her nail course. I know I sound like a spoiled brat but it just maddens me it's to earn a bit of cash on the side. She has no clue at all about what she's doing. She hasn't got a stable mental state or environment to be successful.
Sorry for the long bratty rant I want her to be successful but I don't want my one and only passion to be taken and used to earn a bit of cash. Yeah money from doing nails can be good money once established but as I said it's not about the money for me it's about the passion of creating from stubby or plain nails to seeing the clients reaction to beautiful created nails.
