What do you love most about your job?
Sharing those little industry secrets to newbies who are often wowed by the simplest things that we take for granted. Then when they realise they can do it, the smile on their faces makes it worthwhile.
What’s the most difficult part? Juggling all the job roles is probably the most challenging physically, however a student that doesn’t utilise the skills they’ve learned is sometimes difficult to see especially if I can see they have potential.
What is your day-to-day like? I love the diversity of my week, one day I can be out on the road teaching at a salon, the
next doing a 1-2-1 on acrylic followed up by training admin. I still work a lot of hours in my salon so getting to catch up with my team and my regulars is great. Although at the moment planning the relocation is taking up a lot of time but I’ll have a dedicated training room which I can’t wait to fill with Louella Belle students!
Who or what inspires you? My nail hero will always be Greg Salo - I stood watching him for so many hours at trade shows and learnt so much. In general, my inspiration is always created by people who work hard to achieve where they’ve arrived and give back and share with no agenda.
What is your favourite nail trend this year? There seems to be a drift back towards nail extensions which I’m looking forward to as it will
What is your favourite nail brand and why? Too hard to call! IBX for the miracles it creates for clients’ nails and Artistic L&P as it’s quite possibly the best system I’ve worked with. The ease of use in application and filing is so quick! Also like most of us I’m a bit of a magpie and so the Swarovski handled, beautifully balanced L&P brush is something a bit special.
What is your favourite nail art to create on a client? I love abstract art and something different going on across the nails as I hate uniformity. The variances give you something to play with and to take to different levels on each nail.
open the door for us to show our long hidden skills to our clients who’ve been coming to us for Colour Gloss services. I love sculpting and this is something that sets a pro tech apart from many, so being able to bring higher skills to our clients is always a must.
