Hi guys, a bit of advice/input would be very much appreciated from all you experienced techs, lol!
I work from a log cabin at home, and have managed to build up a busy and satisfying business. I am a beauthy therapist, then trained and introduced calgel about 2 years ago to use for natural nail overlays only. My dilema is that I have discovered, (being an avid book keeper, lol) that over the last few months, (and to my surprise) I have found that my main bulk of my weeks takings is coming from nails! It seems that the current financial climate is making people tighten their purse strings with regard to luxury treatments, (ie facials massage ect) but are more than happy to pay out to keep their nails nice.
As I only offer NNO I do turn business away with people wanting extensions/acrylic. For someone who normaly knows her own mind I just cant decide if I should bite the bullet and train in acrylic!! Are other people finding that their takings are coming from differant areas now? I would love to get any input!
 
Iˇm agree with You. the current economic unstable situation leads, that many companies go to banpkuptcy.. whatever people always want to be beautiful and such areas like hairdresses, nail art etc will stay as it is and grow on further. Youˇve made a right choice. congratulations.
iˇve realised that in our area i get much more bulk from teaching. I am running a special chromatics course besides others dedicated to nails. I teach people how to use pure colors in order to obtain a million different colors.
composition placing and the nail design itself.
Nowadays many masters realised that the beauty will stay :) and they want to offer more, to be more competitive. that is how it goes. i think You should train and work further and begin to teach. depends on how You feel of course. Compose a programm, discuss it with several nail art masters, then begin with one student and further on You will make some corrections in it. work hard, be creative and Youˇll get that.
cheers:hug:

It doesn't make sense NOT to. Ring 08452106060 to find your nearest Creative Eduactor and see what classes are on offer.
 
why cant you extend with calgel.
maybe you should go on a sculpting course with them.
it would be less expensive than taking on a new system and you should then be able to satisfy the requirements of those who dont just want an nno.
 
thank you for input guys! So sorry i am latei n reply, i have had terrible trouble with my inernet provider for last couple of months,(but thats another story, grrrrr lol). I should def go on the calgel sculpting course, and that is something tha i have looked into,but I get people who just LOVE acrylic, (probably habit with them,its what they always have had etc) and ask for it specificly. I think my uncertainty lies in the big outlay, in the current climate! God i am not used to being so indecisive, lol!
