I recently jusssst began selling my Press Ons. No sales yet lol but it'd only been 2 weeks of etsy store and social media for my business so noone trusts me enough yet to take a chance on the new kid on the block lol. I gave my kinder sons Teachers assistant a 20 piece Set w my card in the necklace box etc hoping to begin the word of mouth at the school. Hoping w time and perseverance it will work out!

@begorgeousnails Год назад

Keep at it the sales will come 🙏 Etsy can be slow to start off especially ! ❤

@Brianasharay Год назад

Keep going and stay consistent! I started off super slow on Etsy back in 2021 but within the past year, I’ve been receiving between 15-30 orders per week. You got this ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

@kikiwilliams4747 Год назад

It will happen hun. Don't let these couple of weeks discourage you. You'll get customers. Just keep posting. I thought the same, but just 3 days ago, I got my first 3 PAYING customers. So please don't give up.

@divinityninefour5095 Год назад

I am always getting peer pressure from others to start doing acrylics again. Honestly for me I work wayy too slow. I’ve been doing nails for 3 years which I know they say with time you’ll get faster, but still. I don’t like the anxiety or feeling my customers get antsy or asking how much longer. With press ons I can take as long as I want and actually service people all over! I just feel like every nail tech I know is always booked and burnt out. I like being able to do nails and pace myself and make just as much money. I offer both gel and acrylic press ons and sell the acrylic ones at a higher price❤ it has worked for me for the past 2 years to be honest.

@gradenails Год назад

You sound so like me with the anxiety🥺 I stopped taking clients because of the nerves! The build up to them coming, the over analysing your work its just not worth the stress! Your my inspiration for sure I hope to be like you some day🤍💕

Darling, I've been following you for a long while now, & have connected with you. You remind me of myself. I was born with severe anxiety & struggled until I was about 30 yrs. old. A Dr. I worked with must have picked up on it & I had horrible neck pain & headaches as well. He asked me to come in for an appointment & put me on medication. It was the best day of my life. I'm over sensitive to light, sound, noise, & groups of people. I had the super hot issues as well. After starting the medicine I could have (what I called it)a normal life. I was tensing so much, I had knots in the upper back that caused stress tension headaches. I also could never find a chair or desk that would help. I worked 12-14 hr. days at hospitals watching heart monitors, Please don't be afraid to try medication. Love you so much & worry. And, loved the nails! You have been such a help to me as I'm learning. Thank You so much 🦋🕊

I currently use a secret lab gaming chair. It’s the most comfortable chair I’ve ever used. They are completely customizable from the fabric, color, arm rests, add on back pillows, and more. It was the most I’ve spent on a chair, but it’s also the most comfortable!!!

Amen on enail couture. I repackage them and write SMALL / LARGE and I'll put +1,2 or whatever for how many sizes they're off! I like DNS Dynamic Nail Supply, what they offer at least, very nice. And the base colors are rubber and awesome look so natural! AND $6! You'd like em. I ALWAYS Appreciate these Q&As Val. It isn't boring to those who love nails, and is helpful if you make press ons. I like your talking! Always happy to see a video from you, even if it isn't my taste, it doesn't matter because I'm learning. THANK YOU

@sebinaeady8857 Год назад

This was so helpful...it's true, I'm just starting my press on business. It has been a slow start...but I am confident in my skills, so I'm gonna keep making them for the love of the art...the customers will come. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!!!

@catpride1323 Год назад

Best Q & A Ever !! If your going to watch any of her videos, this is the one!!! Lol Maybe it's because all the questions I had are in here... lol I truly loved the, in depth answers, no room for confusion or not understanding. I also love the way you spoke too... You were much calmer... Wasn't at 100 miles an hour - no offense, but you can speak fast.. This was calmer and a little quieter and PERFECT!!! Again, no offense to you or the past videos, but when you hear Perfect! You realize the difference. Have boyfriend asleep from now on.... lol Thank you so much for this video!! I have more questions and comments, but I gotta run, so I'll come back and leave them - but this was the best video ever!!! Oh, and the nails - Very Nice and Classy :) 😊

I recently got fired from a manufacturing job and i just want to work for myself, i hate the corporate world.

Hi Val, absolutely love your videos! do you have any tips for when people ask for really short nails - how would you determine the length will be good for different clients nail beds etc?

@catpride1323 Год назад

The Policy !!! I never even thought of!!! Or gave it much thought... Are there things you would say are a must or don't forget to add? Besides no refunds? Do you have to put one of those legal disclaimers where you say, if you use our product in an illegal or elicit manner, we are not responsible?? Like, how in depth does your policy have to be? If anyone has an opinion or experience with this, I would greatly appreciate the answer.... 😊 Thank you

@caronlong1224 Год назад

You just need to be sure to cover yourself. Payment due in full to start your order, No refunds once order is confirmed, no returns because its unhygienic, not responsible for orders once scanned into the carrier's system. Most press on artist have similar policies on Instagram.

@catpride1323 Год назад

@@caronlong1224 Thank you for answering. Do you think its okay to use one that you Google or should you be getting a lawyer to do this?? Or are you saying I can literally just copy what you wrote?? Thank you, again 😊

@Nailsslayedbyval Год назад

@@catpride1323 No lawyer. You just need to have something to let people know your policies. For example I send it to anyone who has an order inquiry right away when I reply. It just tells them basically what Caron said so that they cant come back later and say “ you never said that” type of thing

@catpride1323 Год назад

@@Nailsslayedbyval Okay, I think I'm getting it. So when someone inquires about ordering from you, you send them you prices ect. and also include your ordering/return policy. Which is basically what Caron said, and thats enough... Thanks ladies - most helpful ☺

@catpride1323 Год назад

Beautiful Nails ❤ I figured I should comment on the nails, too. They were also in the video. Very pretty! Nice and Classy! What length was this? I like it, more functional. The gel you used for the stones, was it just potted gem glue, haven't seen you use potted style before. You usually use a tube or bottle gem glue. I also really liked the real time filming, it helped one feel more relaxed... Does that make sense?? I dont know, but between your softer, calm voice and the soft pace of the video, it was nice. .. It was like chatting at the nail desk, while getting your nails done... I really liked the feel of the whole thing - again, if that makes sense... As always, thanks for sharing 😊

@pawsandxffects Год назад

Youre inspiring me today sorry! Can you PLEASE add my question to your next Q&A? I'm desperate to know. Some people measure their nail beds wrong. They will say a thumb nail is 15mm. It appears like they are measuring an area that ISN'T the widest part of their nail! I see it in products, how am I supposed to know the size then when it should be say 19mm? Do you just pass on the brand...and customers, do they ever send you these way too small measurements, and what do you do if so? Thanks.

I do post everyday at least once a day and i still dont have the following yet. I have more following on tik tok and facebook thrn i do instagram and its a struggle to get followers on instagram. The only thing i dont have yet is my youtube. RU-vid is a struggle too. I dont have the money yet to purchase a good stand to have my phone on to record videos. It gets frustrating when your nails start adding up from you making so many sets to post and advertise. I have so many designs on my website its crazy. Im alone too in this, i have no one supporting me, im just a single mom trying so hard to build this business to have money to support my kids and myself, get us a new house and a vehicle and pay my bills every month is all i want. 😢 its a struggle.

I have a Question? When show casing your presson designs is it okay too advertise 5 nails or should you make a full set of 10nails especially for picture taking. Also, notice enailcouture press on are less then 500, how do you charge when making sets. (Extreme square is expensive in my opinion) i would have to charge $75 and up. What ar your thoughts if you see my questions

@Nailsslayedbyval Год назад
