Well. I can beat you all! I became licensed in California in 1977. No, that's not a typo, 1977. I have done so many wonderful things in these years, taught, company rep, ect. I've always done hair and nails, and always said that I made more money standing up than sitting down.
Then Shellac came along! I barely have a time slot on my books to do hair anymore, and I'm making more money than I ever have.
Oh, I rent two booths at an upscale salon...hair station and nail table. Thinking about giving up the hair station, just because I use it so seldom. I now live in Arkansas, a far cry from California, but it's a State where NSS are the norm. Clients love the professionalism and education level they find in our salon.
