To Uniform or not to Uniform?!

[kated]

Hello all,
:o
This is my first time writing a post on the site and I'm quite excited to be honest! I write for the magazine Professional Nails and I really hope you guys don't mind me getting in touch here and that I'm writing in the right mailing area! I have a feature that I would love to include your opinions in. The issue is simple, and I know it's one there are loads of mixed thoughts on:

Should nail technicians wear uniforms, matching clothes or whatever they want and why?

To use your responses in the magazine I will need your:
Name:
Job in nails:
Clothing policy where you work:
Your opinion on how nail techs should dress, uniform or not and if not, then what?
and preferably a head shot photograph!

In order to send your thoughts and the photo it is probably best that you reply to the following email address: [email protected]

Thanks so much guys - I'm learning loads just looking through your posts!

Best,

Kate Donovan

there was a post a couple of weeks ago about wearing uniforms or not... it was pretty much a Unanimous yes to wearing tunics cos they cover up yer bum!! lol!!!

I ALWAYS wear my tunic and either black trousers in the winter or white crops in the summer.
Because I work from home I dont want my clients to feel like its just a mate doing their nails, hell... they pay me the going rate so I want them to feel pampered by a proffessional!
(The comment about covering up your bum is also very valid. lol!)
Of course that is just my opinion, but you did ask!!

I think a uniform looks professional
wearing your own clothes isnt as nice looking as a tunic or company uniform
would you go to hospital and find it professional if a nurse starting treating you without her uniform on ???
We are professionals so i think looking the part is vital.
But that is just my opinion
