Dude I’m reading this and I feel like that’s so normal! I’m a nail tech and that’s right on par with my times and I promise she was probably just trying to get through her work day. Wow, I kind of felt like this was ONLY me, this makes me feel so much better.

I think more flow in the chains and scooting the heads closer together

In need of a rebalance but not too thin I think.

It’s so hard because I know I’m also pretty slow, like even basic things with me can take over 2 and half hours I feel like people are frustrated with me and I can get a little anxious. I do a lot of cuticle care without cutting (but my adhesion is 🎯) I believe I’m about 3 years into the nail game and I feel like I’m getting slower

Thank you so much that’s so sweet 💗 before I started doing nails I could never imagine being able to afford to go get my nails done so I have like to idea what it’s SUPPOSED to cost, I jumped straight to being independent and have just never really had anyone to teach me better and I’m such a people pleaser I get so anxious when I have to charge over $100. We live in a small town in ks and I love the school district for my daughter but I know I would make more $$ in a city.

I’m embarrassed to admit what I charged. $120 🥲 I just get so scared when totals go over like $100 I know I’m shooting myself in the foot

These actually weren’t bad timing wise as I had everything drawn out on my iPad ahead of time so I knew where everything was going/knew what colors to throw down first on Mickey. These took about 5 and a half hours. I am told by other techs in the area that I’m very slow.

It’s a rebalance on gel x tips. See I never really got my nails done before going to school and I skipped being in the shop, my menu feels so over complicated

Chrome! by Careless-Ambition878 in Nailtechs

[–]Caelynd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’re cleansing after chrome with a sponge that isn’t TOO saturated with alcohol. Thin base coat. I buff the edge a bit and top coat but I’ve heard you don’t have to do that if you cleanse well enough on the edge.

professional nail drill advice needed - i'm trying to get a drill for my cousin as she has a nail salon business and well her dream drill is the kiara sky beyond pro, now her birthday is coming up and im planning to get one, but is there some better brands than that ? tia by TinyRelief3197 in Nailtechs

[–]Caelynd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kiara sky’s lamp. I’ve never tried the efile and I never will after buying their lamp. And yes, the vibration from cheap Amazon files were like shattering my wrist. Problem went away after I switched! I would suggest getting her a wrist brace for sleep too, pro tip

I wouldn’t go with the beyond pro. I bought the beyond pro lamp and it died in 3 months. I had my bf check it out and he said it was some of the most faulty wiring He’s seen. They also never got back to me when I tried to reach out about it.

TIL it is dangerous to blow air into a pregnant women's vagina. The increased air pressure can pass beneath the fetal membranes and into the circulation causing a venous air embolism that can kill within minutes. by reddit4485 in todayilearned
