Guys I don't know if I can get any advice or If I simply need to get this out of my chest so that I can figure out for myself what to do, but here it goes:
I've been practicing my manicure and free hand nail designs for quite a while now. Bought everything I needed to make a little at home space to do nails. I'm taking a course at this academy for nail enhancements and trying to do everything in my power to make this dream of having my own business come true and providing a great unique service to my customers.
What's wrong with this picture? Several things. I'm not in my best emotional mood right now. My son's taking prozac because he's SO INCREDIBLY HYPER AND AGGRESSIVE he's driving himself along with everyone else at home to the edge. He's only 3. I know it sounds drastic for him to be taking such medication but trust me, his pediatrician and us have tried all there is and nothing has worked. How exactly am I going to be in the mood for confronting something new like opening up the nails salon and trying to make sure my son is acting normal while the customers are there and not storming into the place breaking everything in site? The thought just makes me panic
The more I practice the more frustrated I get with the nail designs. What is the trick???????? What exactly does it take for the nail polish to stay, for the dumb little circles to actually come out looking like dots and not blotches??? how come my brushes can never pick just the right amount of nail polish!!! what's the trick. I swear I sometimes catching myself laughing at the fact that I can't even do nail designs. I mean it shouldn't be that difficult to leave me crying on the practice table because no matter how hard I try, my designs basically suck.
Then to top of things....I go to my nails course the first lesson and everything seems good. The teacher is paying attention she's helping me out. Second lesson she leaves me on my own and when she sees I'm taking forever she starts doing the right hand on my customers so that she can make sure we'll leave there once the 2 hours of class are done. I am the one who should be practicing. But guess what? I'm too much of a chicken to tell her that. Then I go this past week to my usual wednesday lesson. Surprise. They're closed. Yesterday I found out they were having their party and not only no one told me but they did not even let me know the place was going to be closed. I don't care much for their party but I care about my classes which is what I was paying for. This is so frustrating I might as well lose my money and not even go there anymore. It's a new academy, they just opened up. How can they afford to lose customers like this??? Oh and the irony....the owner takes my payment yesterday and says "you haven't taken one class yet right?" ( I have taken already 2 classes and she should be aware of my progress yet, she doesn't know) I feel helpless. What do i do....Do I jump in and start my business, do I simply forget about the idea, do I hire someone else who's already experienced to use all the equipment I bought?
I know reading this whole thread must be not only tiring but frustrating. I feel the very same way. It just seems that my dream is fading away and the more I struggle to make things come true, my stuff doesn't come together.
Any, whatever type of advice, words of comfort or simply joining the pity party for New year (lol) will be appreciated!
Hugs,
Lamu
