Hi there. I am a Creative Trained Technician, trained by Ketan Patel. I have been doing nails for just over 3 years. I am Freelance working from home and 2 days a week at Tanning and Beauty Salon. I have been at new salon for 7 months and am fully booked for the days I work there. Salon owner is very keen and lovely to work for so no problem there. Only problem is that she has noticed that I can do a full set of PF in an hour and a half and is booking me clients back to back some days from 10 in morning until 8pm and by the time I get to last client I know that my nails are not as good as they should be. Sometimes I feel that it is because I haven't had time to really clean my brush properly between clients and the brush feels gooey, so the ratio doesn't feel right. Also towards the end of the day my nails seem to be getting thicker and my smile lines wonky. I have told salon owner to make sure from now on to give me 2 hours between clients and one hour for lunch, otherwise I will burn out. As I said the salon is new so I can understand that she wants to fill my days up, but I feel so tired at the end of the day. I am one assessment away from my NVQ Certificate and absolutely love doing nails. I have also just qualified in waxing to give myself a break from non-stop nails and love doing that too. Is this a similar problem for nail techs. How would you advise I prevent burn out. Look forward to any advice.
