Feeling isolated as a nail tech? In this episode, I chat with Olivia about the importance of community, mentorship, and ongoing education in the nail industry. We explore how supportive networks, peer groups, and guidance from experienced educators can help nail artists grow their skills, boost confidence, and run a thriving business.
Olivia shares her perspective on the gaps in nail education, including business skills, client care, mindset, and aftercare… areas which are often missing from standard courses. We discuss practical ways to build a connected, supportive nail community that empowers techs instead of leaving them overwhelmed or burned out.
Plus, our “Nightmare from the Nail Desk” segment tackles real world challenges, like handling clients who question pricing when you invest in upgrading your nail setup.
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced nail tech, this episode is packed with tips for nail artists, educators, and beauty professionals to strengthen your network, improve your skills, and grow your nail career.
