The greatest and the most successful nail technicians not only enjoy their job, they are passionate about their work. This common denominator is a key factor in success.
But a nail technician is much more than a person who sits there doing nails all day. Working with the public in the almost vocational way that we do, you also must have a compassionate nature and really want to help those clients as you will be entering a SERVICE industry which means you must be there for them whenever they want and you are needed. the public are also demanding and you must be well educated and informed.
A business head is also a great attribute as most technicians end up running their own businesses and eventually having co-workers and employees - not an easy task to do all these things well and many of us had no experience at all when we started.
Today many women who already have business skills and people skills are getting into the business of nails and it will only do the industry good as they approach the salon with a business head rather than just a woman's head.
Good luck in your career, whatever you choose to do.
