Hi Everyone,
I need your help, I have been training since the beginning of the year and have accuired various industry recognised certificates, courses completed are nail extensions, acylic workshop and nail art (can I call myself a qualified nail tech?).
Recently I was approached by a local haidresser who had a room spare that he wanted to rent out, to be honest it all happend so quickly. I have just finished the expensive task of kitting the room out. And plan to officially be up and running the second week of Dec.
Like I said it is all happening so quickly and I am feeling very nervous, as some of my practise models still get lifting within a few days of application. I really want to give this a go, and enjoy doing nails. I have been given lots of advice from my training college as to what I am doing wrong but I feel that I have tried everything to get it right. Did anyone else feel the same as I do when they first started?
Also I have decided to price my full sets at £40, but have had a lot of feed back from friends and family to say that this is a bit much, (because they know how much the high street shops charge). I just explain to them that this is the going rate, can anyone give me anymore advice as to what I can say when people question me on my price?
The hairdresser that I am renting from has arranged for a ladies night, in December, I feel that this would be a great opportunity to gain some new clients. I have decided to do some demos, for example nail art designs, pink & white application, and I also love working with the new glittered acylics (perfect for christmas). What do you think?
Sorry theres just one last thing, I have chosen to just practice in acylics and no other system, do you think that this is suffient to run a successful business on?
So sorry for the long email, I would appreciate any comments/critisism.
Thank You
