How do i overcome the stigma of being a trainee??
Feeling a tad disheartend today i have new clients trying to take the micky alot of the time as they know im training and then people asking about booking and then when they realise im training dont want to book due to bad experiences with i may add experienced nail technicians that have been in the business for years!!.
I know what i am doing and not to blow my own trumpet i am quite good even though i am just starting i just have a real love and passion for it and its the first job i have ever loved doing!!
Every customer i have worked on has been more than pleased with what i have done and i have been back to a few clients 2 times in the last month and they are rebooking so i must be doing something right.
I had a client yesterday evening that had been to nail tech that has been in the business years now and this poor girl had what resembled spades on her nails they had bubbles in which i have not yet seen in acrylics ever and they didnt fit properly!! She said that they hurt when she had them as they were pulling on her natural nail but that had passed i reshaped infilled and painted them and she loved them once i had done them and even booked in for a new set in 2 weeks to try a different system.
Then another potential client contacted me today and noticed i am training and said no in the end as she had a set done a few months back and they lifted after 48 hours!! I have not had this issue yet but how do i build a client base with all that negativity!! Any advice would be much appreciated im feeling like im not going to be able to to make a proper go of it as i am carrying this stigma with me through no fault of my own!! X
