Sorry for the rant but I need to get this off my chest.. I’ve finally improved with nail painting and slightly with waxing. But I’m still newish to the industry and have been a beauty therapist for 10 months.
My reoccurring problem seems to be my timings. I am always running over with nail painting waxing and removal of gel polish. I feel under such pressure all the time. My boss is always mentioning my timing. My dream for years has been to be a excellent beauty therapist and to own my own salon, but I’m honestly getting to the point where most days I come home so depressed I end up in floods of tears and questioning myself if I’m actually cut out to do this . I am a perfectionist but worry that if I don't do a job to my best that I will get complaints. (I’ve had a few nail painting not up to scratch, missed hairs on wax, taking too long removing gel polish)
I know my boss is getting annoyed with me and I feel I am always being judged and watched which makes me even more stressed and slower. I also always seem to have the clients that require more work than originally expected...they turn up with leftover gel on, turn up late and the ones that are fussy and take ages to decide on a colour. The nail varnish we have isn’t the greatest and sometimes comes out a bit gloopy and thick. But this just feels like I’m excusing that because I’m a crap therapist and can’t blame everything else. Please can someone advise me on what I can do because I am sick to death of worrying so much about everything and I’m this close to honestly calling it a day. [emoji20]
