Hi everyone, I just wanted to share some good news. After a couple of months of semi-looking for a place to work, I am going to work in a full service salon, on a commission basis. This opportunity fell into my lap after another one fell through, and I am really excited. I am a huge believer in fate, and think that this happened for a reason.
They have never had a nail tech there before, although they do advertise in the yellow pages that they do nails (owner just could never hire anybody with the right skill set I guess). So they get a lot of phone calls from people for nail enhancements. I had to go in yesterday to do an 'audition', a set of acrylics on one of the stylists - who turned out to be a former nail tech herself, talk about daunting. But I passed with flying colours and not only that, two clients came into my room to see what was going on while their colour was processing and are interested in booking appointments.
So needless to say, I am quite "chuffed" (have been picking up these expressions from you guys ) and just wondered if you have any words of advice for a newbie starting out in her very first salon!
