    Nail technician course?

    Hiya, Not heard of them before. Sorry I just wrote a whole reply and did not realise this was a training academy and not an online course provider.

    Need recommendations for folding table & chairs for mobile nail tech?

    Yeah same as what KyraLouise wrote. I would always take a portable table and fold up stools when I started out. But most of the time clients had a little set up already which made it easier but I did prefer to work on my own table as I found that dining tables were too big so you ended up being...

    First sets, how long does it or did it take you?

    Hi all.... Like the others said it will come with time so don’t be hard on yourself. You will find a technique and order that works for you and the more practise the faster you will become. You could try and advertise that you are looking for people to train on at a discounted price. I’ve been...

    Please help, salon vs room vs wait?

    Thank you for replying. Yes I do also have a little side job that I do from home so I would always have a little something coming in so would not solely be relying on the business income. I have all that I need to set up. Have all the equipment as I was mobile but then stopped as I went back...
