This is my first post, so here goes! I would like some feedback and advice please on my vision for a mobile nail 'Therapist'. I am going to do the one day manicure pedicure course with Gateway workshops, which will provide me with a diploma and enable me to get accreditation and insurance. I plan to work with older adults either in nursing homes or in their own homes. I want to target this market as I have a special interest in care for older adults. I already have a diploma in health and social care and have CRB/DBS certificate etc.
Do you see any pitfalls? I am aware that I will not be able to work on clients with diabetes. Is this just for pedicures. Will I be able to offer nail cutting? Can I get specific training on nail cutting? The only ones I have seen are for a foot health specialist.
Obviously I need to practise the sanitisation and cross infection procedures precisely and perhaps use disposable files etc.
Also will I be able to sign up to the suppliers such as Ellisons, Salon services and Capital to purchase products and tools with my qualification?
Will I be able to use Opi polish (not gel)?
All help and advice would be very welcomed.
Thank you, Mandy
