Do what you Love

First off, as with any career move, you need to ask yourself some questions, more specifically you need to ask yourself if you like what you’ll be doing.  Do you like nails?’ Would you consider yourself an artistic person?  Do you enjoy fashion?  are you good with your hands?

Do you like meeting new people?  If you answered yes to these questions, then you will probably love being a Nail Tech.

Types of Nail Technicians

you going to be working?  Do you want to open your own salon?  Do you want to work for a salon near you?  Or do you want to work as a mobile nail technician and do nail art in people’s homes?  To keep things as simple as possible we are going to assume that you will be working in a nail salon or a general beauty salon, or are planning on being a mobile nail tech.

Find your Fashionista Guru

The best place to start to find nail technician courses is at the salon you are planning on working at, ask them if they have a class that they send new girls to or if there is a training course through the salon itself.  If they don’t, you can ask one of the nail techs themselves or you can head down to your local community college.  They will usually have a course that you can take to get started.

How much do nail technician courses cost?

The cost for nail technician courses will be different where ever you go and whatever you are studying.  But you need to make sure that you become a licensed cosmetologist and pass all of your sanitation requirements.  You don’t want to start your

new career with fines do you?  Decide on learning a few skills as a newbie.  If you are going to do fake nails, then learn gel nails first as they are probably the easiest, then move on to acrylic nails as they are probably the most popular, then you will have a great feel for what you like and is good for your career.

Natural Nails for those with sensitive Noses

If you don’t like breathing a lot of chemicals and hate the smell, then i would suggest learning as much as you can about natural nails, because you won’t have to use half of the noxious chemicals you would for acrylics.  check out OPI (a nail polish brand) cause they have some really great products and also courses in different regions.

In Summary

Make sure you like nails, make sure the income is what you’re expecting, find out where you would enjoy working and how, ask around for what the best nail training or courses in your area may be, and find out how much it will cost.  I wish you luck in all your beautiful endeavors.  Till next time
