I'd love to have a male nail tech! is that really sad?
I can see why you would worry a little unfortunatly some of the general public are crazy!lol!
You hear this all the time from women in male industrys - and there is usually some comment about it never happening to men, so its interesting it does.
I would assume my therapist was female but to be honest would not phase me if they were male...
Go for it xxx

Sometimes us guys get such a hard time! I'm a massage therapist and some people get a bit freaked out when they realise I'm the one doing the massaging. Two things that often put the girls mind at rest:
"Just so you know when you come for your appointment, my boyfriend also works at home running his own greeting card business so there will be someone else in the house."
Or most commonly:
"If you want to bring a friend, they can sit in on the treatment if you'll feel more comfortable."
The great thing about the 2nd one, you've got a captive audience to see how good you are. I always leave out some reading materials about my product range and even some samples. Quite often the friend becomes a client or buys a product.
Good luck!

I dont think it has anything to do with the service, of course men can make fantastic nail techs.
I think its more of a safety issue with lone women visiting your home.
This is a personal opinion (dont shoot me) but I would not feel safe visiting a male techinician that i didnt know at his home.
I would have to bring a friend.

The only time I have felt unsafe was when visiting a female client in her own home.
She was 'not quite the ticket' IMO and actually blocked my way went I was leaving as she wanted to say another prayer for me.

Wow not a nice experience. How did you get out? We forget that although people are scared of men, some ladies out there are a lot bigger and stronger than some men.
I would say 99% of people ((men and women)) are perfectly safe to visit!

I think I may as well out myself as a perv like Rach too! Thats one of the reasons I have stayed so loyal to my hairdresser, because I fancy the pants off him, unfortunatly his boyfriend does too, not that I mind too much - I fancy him aswell!
Anyhoo,
It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, I don't think even if I didn't know and I got there I would be so shocked I'd leave.
When I was trying to get a apprenticeship in the motor trade I was finding it really difficult so I sent out some letters removing the 'e' from the end of the name - making me Louis. When I turned up to an interview people were quite shocked, I just said 'oooops, typo!' - Serves you right for ignoring me when I was Louise!!!

Yeah, but I think you can feel safe with an old poof like me,
shall I camp it up on the phone just to make you feel better? Answer the door in drag perhaps? Change my name to Julian?
Or would you rather me be straight and look like the new doctor who or George Clooney? (would you still knock me back then, just because I'm a man) ?

I must admit i had a good few laughs reading all the posts!!!
In all honesty, I prefer guys doing my hair (probabaly why it's been a while since guys are hard to find here as far as I am aware) and if i would be spoiled for choice I would have all those famous nail blokes attacking me on a regular basis! I am a girly girl but definitely a man's woman....
Although I do appreciate the fact that some people could be intimidated by visiting a guy (but I personally wouldn't like to visit anyone at their home for treatments for that matter, simply because I personally would feel safer in a salon environment! I have never been fussed on going into a stranger's house to perform treatments either unless they were regulars to begin with, if that makes sense....)
At the same time, if I were you, i would milk the fact that you are a gay male technician-you should be the ultimate safe option for women!
People can be stupid, we have a couple of gay couples in our friendly circle and if i would honestly think that I couldn't bring David with me for the risk of him getting jumped!!!!
I also have a gay girlfriend here in work, and I don't go around with my back against the wall incase she wants to grope me????
Anyway, milk it!!!!! Make a big thing out of it!!!!!Become the biggest hit in your town!!!
And Angelina if you are listening??? I am here!!!!!!:Grope:
:hug:
Take care hun!!!!!
