”Hey girls!”… says emails from suppliers, course pages, every nail tech group chat. James has spent his whole career in an industry that talks like he isn't in the room.
He's one of the few male nail techs in the UK, here to talk to me all about how he got into nails, what everyone said, being the only guy at training courses and supplier events, what clients assume when they walk in, and whether being male has cost him bookings or brought people in out of curiosity. Then we get into ”hey girls” properly; whether people mean anything by it, and how they react when he challenges them on language that excludes male techs.
Plus: a nightmare dilemma from a salon where the owner very obviously has a favourite.
