Hi guys just looking for some advice,
i have been a trained nail tech for 5 years but never really got into as i had kids not enough time etc etc.... then out of the blue a girl i know who owns her own salon was looking for a nail tech and i though that i would really like to start up on my own, so i have just started last week doin three days a week i was completly full of appointments which i was really pleased about. i feel slightly disheartened as the girl whos shop it is came and asked me to do shellac on her with a french manicure i said no probs but found that i was so nervous i was shaking i could hardly paint her nails she then told me they werent great so to take them off which i did then done a lovely silver with a shatter nail polish with a uv top coat, they looked fab, she never paid me for them was told she had no cash on her.
After that i had a girl in will really stained nails so i cleaned them up and put shellac on them, bout an hour later she came back into the shop ssaying it was coming off she was clearly picking at iti explained i would fix it but that its not indestructible and that if u pick at it it will eventually come off.
then to top it all off i done a set of nails on a client who then came back the next day to say she did not like the acrylics that a i had done i admit one nail was pretty bulky i offered to fix them which was fine then she asked me to fill in all her nails as she said i had left a massive gap between the acylic and her cuticle i explained that if i dont leave a space they would end up flooding her cuticle and lifting she was insistent that i do it, i know she will be back this week to complain and what makes it worse is that her daughter works in the shop.
I feel like packing it all in to be honest i know im good at what i do and have been given compliments on my work but feel like im struggling a bit.:irked:
