What You NEED To Know Before Becoming A Nail Tech 

We had SO MANY of the same points!! I love to see that i had similar struggles at the beginning. Great video girl 👍🏻

Watching this because my local cosmetology school is offering a 3 month course in nail technology and its also a working salon for clientele i wanna either do this or becoming a pharmacy tech

I start my nail program next week and your videos have helped a lot with all the excitement I’m having and also calmed my nerves about somethings. Love these types of videos and your channel.

Can you please make a more in depth video about how much nail techs get paid vs. how much they spend throughout their career? Can you talk about the pros and cons about making money as a nail tech?

This is super sweet and helpful, I love how you explain everything and all of these things are very very true. I just got my license two months ago and I’m very glad to see I followed all of these tips, this encouraged me to be even more patient and put even more effort into it. Thank you❤️❤️

I'm a completely new nail technician starting out not license yet I'm looking for school in my local area cuz I live in a small town so everything is like really far out I really appreciate you doing this video I'm glad that I found someone who's being open and honest about everything and once they learn things that you know wasn't there for them you provide that knowledge to people like me cuz I'm completely new haven't even been in the trying to make nail technician my career for a whole year now so I completely appreciate it and I cannot wait to start

Great Video I been a nail tech since 2010 and stop now back at it, you just have to be patient and do it from the heart and have fun, but always have a plan B in anything I love your Video 👍🏾

Thank you so much!! I'm 7 months in after getting my license and some days I feel like I'll never make any money doing this. Right now I make enough to pay my desk rent and replenish supplies but I wouldn't be able to do it if I was a single mom or if we didn't have my husbands income to pay our bills.

Thanks for the info ...starting school soon.

Highly appreciated!

Could you create a nail tech's essentials guide video or even finding local clientele? thanks

Love your outfit 💕

Thank you for this cuz this is becoming my career

Awesome advice thank you 💕

Thank you ❤️

Thanks for making this video. I want to start nail school in September. I work from home now in customer service so I don't think it will be an issue for me to do both in the beginning as I buy the equiptment and build my clientele. I have invested my money in other small businesses as well in the past like (balloon business and event decor) but I always stopped because the money is so slow. And I also have a toddler which takes a Iot of my time. I want to know is it better working from home as a nail tech or working in a salon? Do you make more money at home or in a salon? I'm really wanting to start off working at home as a nail tech because of daycare fees that are so expensive and I do have a teenager in my home as well as my children father that will watch the baby while I work. Did you get clientele based on flyers and business cards or word of mouth? I was thinking of having people model my work by doing some people nails for free in the beginning.

Thanks for the advise. Though, I feel like it’s important to really put yourself out there and never stay stagnant.

Just subscribed to ya... I'm looking into becoming a Nail Tech.. Tfs ✨

Sorry, a lot of questions but I was wondering do you use gel nail polish or acrylic or fake nails often as a nail tech for your own nails? Do you ever wear normal nail polish when you're working as a nail tech? And whether you do wear normal nail polish or not, how do you remove nail polish that has gotten onto customers' skin when you're painting(and what u use to remove)? Like when u still can't paint well so it gets onto their skin around the nails. Because in the salon that I go to learn as a trainee, the employees use their own nails to dip(or something like that) into acetone and then remove the normal nail polish that's on the customers' skin. It's ok for them cuz they often use gel and sometimes fake nails when they do their own nails. But it's a problem for me cuz I think gel is expensive, I also heard some people say their nails are damaged after removing gel(also acrylic). So I always only use normal nail polish and when I try to remove nail polish that's on the customers' skin, my nail polish will also be removed. I asked my boss aka my teacher if I can use something else to remove like a stick or something, she said they use their nails. I also tried wearing their gloves, it doesn't work. I saw people on RU-vid using a wooden stick or some type of stick to remove nail polish on their skin so I don't get why she doesn't let me. Yeah, so it's kinda frustrating for me. That's why I decided to not paint nail polish on one nail so I'll just use that nail to remove. But I still wish I can use a stick. -_- Or maybe I should just find another job, lol. It's kinda sad and weird that people who are not nail techs can have longer lasting nail polish, they just use normal polish and my nail polish is ruined cuz of the acetone..and I'm a trainee at a nail salon.

great video ❤.. have a question? I want to be an entrepreneur to have a real estate license but I want to do nails on side. and to have a nails business at home on side for fun love doing nails would you think have time to do that as a realtor.and do a nail tech make good money ?

When I’m older I Wana know how to put acrylic nails

But how much did nail school cost all together!? 😫

What about the long term effects of being exposed to nail polish/acetone/other chemicals. You can wear the surgeons masks (if that's what they're called) but they don't completely protect you, do you know how someone was exposed for years or decades to it state's of health was after that time?

was helpful

what happened... where are you...

So nail techs don't get paid an hourly wage? You talked about buying your own supplies. When I would go to the salon, they have the polish every tech can use. Can you explain how techs get paid? Thanks!

Do you live in a big city?

Can someone please help me?:(... I finished my nail tech course, got all the hours completed! But I still needed to pass the test though :( ... does anyone know how long beauty school hours are good for? Like do they expire? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks so much ❤️..
