Hi ya Stephanie,
So you wanna take the plunge so to speak..........................
Well done for taking the first step................
I don't know what you are looking for, well I do it's got to be nails..........
So I thought,( well I do that a lot recently lol) .......think that is.........
So here it goes, you want to work as a Technician, you want to have some control over your life, you want to do, what you enjoy most and earn money...............
:idea:
So why not promote your self, rather then waiting for someone to advertise,why not, make someone belief that they need you ..............
Advertise yourself, have a look at some locations you like the look of, are there any shops that havent got a nailbar or nail station. It doesn't have to be a hairdressers, could be a Tanning Salon, Sports centre, Beauty Salon. etc.........
:idea:
Use someone elses market research to chosse your location.........
McDonalds Costa Coffee, Starbuck, Pret etc. never choose a site unless they have researched their earning potential, they all go where there is money to be earned..................
So the ideal location would be a high street, next door to Macci D's in a Beauty Establishment of somesort...............
:idea:
Get your Portfolio together, Certificates, CV, Pictures, Pricelist, Flyers etc. and then go and do the brave thing......................
Ask for the manager/owner ,make an appointment, that way you know you will havae time to impress and have a fair chance to strut your stuff................
Have answers ready like you want to rent space for xamount £, or flat rent or % . You will provide your own stock, retail aso...........
Someone out there will think...........Boy we need her in here , she is a go getter and will be an asset to our business..........
Do you understand where I 'm coming from???????
You can still keep an eye out for adverts , but it also makes you feel like you are doing it with no stone left unturned and the chances being, you will be a earning professional Tech in no time...............
Another thought, if you are being employed, some one else is earning pounds from your time and someone is putting so to speak a price on your work..............................
Trust me...
.............
This is not the easy route, I have been there, bills to pay, no and I didn't have a partner that could just put up with my whim of wanting to be a Techie and business woman, I did it because my marriage broke up
, I left him, so I was the one having to do it the hard way, so I was more determind then most to succeed, so I left my job ,did some mobile work and got a place in the City of London, Concession in a Tanning Shop, which led to 2 Concessions and that was over10 years ago and I have never looked back..................
So good luck, with the right frame of mind and plenty of chat and some great ideas you will do great.............
Trust me I am a Nail Technician and earning money............
Lots of love

P.S. I hope this didn't sound like a cermon, just some verbal go and get 'em girl, you will be fab ................
