    <section>

        <h2>How did you get started in the nail industry? What sparked your interest?</h2>

        <p>I started painting my own nails and loved getting creative with them. I was working in retail at the time, and I had a 6-month-old baby. I started thinking, perhaps I could do this professionally.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>What training/certificates do you have?</h2>

        <p>I trained with Essential Nails for most of my nail courses, then went on to do 1.2.1s with different trainers to further my skills.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>Walk me through what a typical day looks like for you.</h2>

        <p>I get to the salon around 8.45 and I set my desk up for my first client due at 9.30 am. I go through any images & messages they sent prior and get out what I need.</p>

        <p>I have around 6-7 clients per day on a normal 9.30-5 day and up to 11 on my late days 9.30- 8.30.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>What services do you provide for clients?</h2>

        <p>Manicures, pedicures, acrylics, gel polish, etc. I do all treatments but popular are gel/acrylic infills with nail art.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>What are your specialties or what techniques do you most enjoy doing?</h2>

        <p>Nail art is my thing, I love it and love being creative. I love using colored acrylic to create designs too. Gel paints are my ultimate go-to.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>What advice would you give someone just starting out as a nail technician?</h2>

        <p>Take your time, clients won’t care how long you take if you’re creating beautiful nails. Also, Rome wasn’t built in a day and building a client base takes time. Start as you mean to go on, set a cancellation policy and stick to it.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>Where do you see yourself going in your nail tech career? What are your future goals?</h2>

        <p>I want to teach, I’d love to teach what I know and the skills I’ve picked up along my years in this industry.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>What's been your most memorable or touching interaction with a client?</h2>

        <p>There’s so many, I’m there for my clients in so many different ways and have seen so much.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>What's the craziest nail art or design a client has ever asked you to do?</h2>

        <p>Stained Glass design, they took so so long.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>If you could choose any celebrity to be your client, who would you love to do nails for?</h2>

        <p>Recently I was asked if I could attend an emergency nail repair for Stacey Solomon. Of course I said yes, it was an amazing experience and I was/am still in shock I was asked.</p>

    </section>

 

    <section>

        <h2>If you could only use 3 nail products for the rest of your career, what would they be?</h2>

        <p>Gel Paint, Acrylic Powder, and Monomer. It’s all I’d need. ☺</p>
