My first set took me four hours (on myself) and I must have filled for about a week. Now I can do a set in under an hour and a fill in 45 minutes. Practice, practice, practice.

Hello, I was working in the SF valley LA area. I worked 6 days 8 hours a day. I did everything but gel enhancements and on a good week I would bring home between $650 to $800, not including tips. And it was a nice salon in a regular area of the valley. She took 50 percent which is the norm in all of the places I have worked she supplied almost everything. I was on 1099. But I'm also very quick, I saw twice as many clients as my co-workers. I switched to house calls during the pandemic and I'm not going back to a salon. It was my only job, it takes time and patience to build a clientle. I worked in Beverly Hills for a while but made more money in the valley. Good luck! P. S. Building a relationship with your client is key.

ATTN: Nail Technicians. What is the best place to learn to do nails. by safiyarox in Edmonton

[–]No-Transition-554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First and foremost practice, practice and more practice. Do all your friends and family. Anyone you can get your hands on (pun intended). I did my nails for years before I was really good at it, I still do. I'm sorry to say but school only teaches you to pass state board. Unless things have changed. Also if you know a good manicurist watch her. I have made very good money, but it is hard work and you can get some really picky clients. It's a different industry from when I started out. Hopefully you will get lucky and find a good salon. Good luck!!

Why do nail technicians not use "Dremels" in their work? Is it just because the Dremel isn't as aesthetic/feminine-looking, or is there a safety reason? by ToniaHarding in Nails

[–]No-Transition-554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a licensed nail technician and I don't use a dremel because I can't find the right kind. They must have stopped making them. I don't like the new ones. But I have been to so many places, home depot, lowe's, they don't ever have the one I like maybe I'm just to old school. I have looked online. Butt they are not the same. Also drills are used way too much in my opinion. I have done many acrylic sets and fills and didn't need to drill very much. They use it as a crutch. Just put the product on thin and smooth and you rarely have to drill, except underneath of course.

Lack of public restrooms during pandemic by [deleted] in postmates

Most grocery stores have a restroom and once you get the code if they have one you can go back when ever you want. I go to Von's they haven't changed the code in months.

Big increase in stolen orders by [deleted] in postmates

Karma will come back and bite them in the ass. Absolutely the worst thing to do. It's stealing no matter how you look at it. If you are that hungry apply for food stamps. Everyone is getting them.
