🔺Today's Topic:
My successful career in nails gave me the receipts to present to lenders and finance a few wants and needs.
And if you’re really thinking about a career in nails as an independent nail tech, I want to give you 5 good reasons to prioritize that decision for yourself today.
Let’s dive into the 5 reasons to become an independent nail tech… because there is definitely money to be made.
Imagine this, you can work in a creative field within three to 6 months as your own boss, and with hard work and dedication, work yourself up to at least the median household income (U.S. ~$70k). Let me say it again, without a boss and doing something fun and creative.
When you’re ready hit play.

    I am in school right now and while we are getting a lot of hands on learning, I wish there were more step by step instructions. It really is just getting my hours, learning diseases and disorders, sanitation and disinfection procedures, practicing for the state board test. Once I graduate though I’ll be free to focus on only gels!✨ Acrylic is nice and I somewhat got the hang of it…..but gels feel so much more….me? Like I can connect with them 100% more than with acrylic…does that make sense? I can paint with them just like on canvases…well on much smaller temporary canvases.😅 Anyway, yes I am signing up for your classes as soon as I start making monies!

      I, as a nail Instructor. I'm sad to hear that. I've taken a few courses from Paola and will continue. I've been a nail tech for over 21 years. If you were at my school and my student, you'd get some pretty good education on gel since that's all I do. Yes, I do acrylic as well. But only in school. Wish you the best and get extra education with Paola.

      @kathykov1 Aaw💖 Our instructor doesn't demo for us, and if she does, it's only once. Plus, a lot of what she has planned feels so unorganized. There is another instructor who demos anything we ask her about when our instructor isn't able to make it in class. So I would have been very excited to have a teacher like you✨️ I am considering that, maybe in the future, I might become an instructor just because there is so much I wish was being taught but isn't.

    I love your content and am 100% on the structured soft gel train. If I'm ever able to get licensed that is my plan. I'm a little salty, though, because it truly isn't accessible for me. The only nail school in my area has a tuition of over $10,000 for the manicurist program and does not offer financial aid. My state allows apprenticeships, but there aren't any available (I contacted every salon in my area that offers nail services to try and find one). I would LOVE to be a nail tech but have no idea how on earth to make it happen.

    I got the melody Susie nail lamp and it even said it had good wattage and my gel nail glue from beetles wasn’t curing. I used one builder gel and cured like a few times to be safe, it was sticky and then I used a no wipe top coat cured a few times and it was still sticky so I think the builder gel wasn’t curing for some reason even though I only did a thin layer. Also it would happen with just the regular top coat not curing all the way I’d have to cure like 4 or 5 times even though it was non sticky /no wipe top layer top coat.. I seen other using the beetles gels without a problem and I thought melody Susie was a better brand than those other ones on Amazon that are cheaper. It made me so mad so I ended up filing them all off in a rush and made the mistake of using a sanding but to file off faster and I ruined mh nails. I have already really thing layers (i can easily peel my nails if I wanted to), and it damaged my nails for more than like 6 months to grow back. Since then I was so discouraged i returned my mail drill but I still have that lamp ugh

    Be careful stretching your skin so hard while cleansing. The skin around the eyes is the most delicate so tugging at it will create bags under the eyes and wrinkles. Use your ring finger (the weakest finger) to gently dab around the eyes instead. ❤

      Yes, I highly suggest a cleansing oil to reduce tug (or BioDerma Micellar Water on a cotton round) before either a gentle or treatment face wash. Oil cleansers are amazing, but not for everyone. 🥰 Everything I learn, I learn from Kelly Driscoll & Dr Shereen Idress on UA-cam!

  • @lunariahinamori8059

    the problem I have is that of course, using safe products sounds great, but safe companies don't sell to DIY and a license is sickly expensive, like, last time I checked it was 7300 dollar (like 76 890 kr) and it was online anyways... so like, what?

    • @PaolaPonceNails
      @PaolaPonceNails 18 днів тому

      Totally get it. Most nail companies also don’t require a license to purchase. Many say “For Professional Use Only”, but if they really wanted to enforce that, then they would require a verified user login… but they don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ In my opinion nail brands should read “for trained used only”. A nail license does not make it safe to use their products. DIYing, trial and erroring w/ random UA-cam videos is risky also. Certifying in their products does. Having a nail expert’s guidance does also. Therefore, I highly recommend a brand certification or you can also join my Master Gel Nails Course which teaches you about the gel products I use and how to identify safe gel nail products before learning application. The brands I use do not require you to be pro-verified before using. paolaponcenails.com/mgn/ Otherwise, I do agree with many experts’ opinions, lacquer is the safer option. I add… press-ons are. Hope this helps 💐
