whites...yukl

[Nails At The Hat Hire Company]

yeah i too got mistaken for a dental nurse or such like.. so i changed from the white salon jacket and (extremely flattering/fetching/sexy...not) white salon skirt to black.
as i work in my home salon i can choose, but didnt want people to just think its a hobby type thing.. (and more people ask what you do if your in some kinda uniform)
i wear a black oreintal jacket from florence roby and black 3/4 trousers and black toepost clogs (quiksilver ones with little studs on - quite cool not fogey)
i also have a diamante 'i do nails' brooch on my jacket - got from ebay - and lots of people ask me about that which increases awareness of what i do (walking advert)
really fancy having my salon logo on the jacket but not sure. (have it on my 4x4 wheelcover gold on black looks nice) but not sure about jacket. was hoping to get an enamel type badge if anyone knows where i can get one made.

i wear the same uniform as you i got the florence roby black 3/4 trousers and the black oriental type tunic and i got the i do nails badge .looks great but dust can be a problem always dusting it off with damp cloth.the rest of the girls wear white as they all do beauty and just lonesome me wears black but i get loads of compliments on my uniform and people always ask me what job i do .even though i got the badge on saying i do nails :shock:

hi i agree, black looks cool & thats what we wear along with cerise pink t-shirts (summer), white or black tops (winter). The only problem with black is the DUST! Boy how many times have i trotted up the bank only to glance down while waiting patiently in the Q, to realise to my horror that :shock: i look more like an escaped archeologist than a nail tech!! If anyone has any smart ideas i would b v.grateful :idea:
