Nailin' It

Ep. 10 The Impact Social Media can have on your Business.. and you

In todays episode of Nailin' It I discuss the impact social media has had on my business and me personally. I answer questions about gaining followers, how the use of social media has negatively and positively effected me and my business, how I come up with content ideas and many other questions surrounding the topic. In 'How To Nail It' I answer a question about hosting private classes or workshops, my feelings on the subject and why its not something I'm ready for in my career right now. And this weeks 'Nail Tech Spotlight' is on Phoebe from @byphoebeclark on TikTok or @manicuredbyphoebe on Instagram. Her content is beautiful, funny and authentic, and not to mention her manicures are FLAWLESS. So definitely check her out and show her some love.

Ep. 9 Booking Systems... My Tips, Advice & Experience

In this episode I talk all about my experience using the booking system Fresha. For so long I was using a paper diary but recently decided to make the switch to doing all of my bookings online. I've learnt some tips along the way from other nail techs so I share those with you, in hopes you don't make any mistakes that I could easily have made if I hadn't had help. This weeks 'How To Nail It' question comes from Lin on IG and it's all about price increases, I share my experience and advice as I know how daunting of a step it can be to take. And to round off the episode, I share the 'Nail Tech Spotlight' of the week. This week it's the gorgeous Shannon from @nailsbyshan_xo on Instagram and TikTok. The advice she shares on her TikTok is invaluable and her nail art is incredible so go and show her some well deserved love from me.

Ep. 8 Prescriptive Manicures & the Differences Between Products

In todays episode of Nailin' It I talk about a term that has become largely spoken about in the industry recently, 'Prescriptive Manicures'. It's something we all, most likely, do in our day to day job with our clients but I wanted to dedicate a full episode to it for those that are new to the industry or those who are unsure whether it's something they do correctly with their clients. I cover the whole topic including what a prescriptive manicure is, what products to use and when and how to perform a full consultation and whys is important. In 'How To Nail It' I answer a question about different cuticle types and my tips on how to prep the cuticles. And this weeks 'Nail Tech Spotlight' is the lovely Oliwia Kozlowska from @nailssbyoliwia (on TikTok & Insta) go and show her some love <3 Thank you so much for listening, i hope you enjoyed, if you did don't forget to share with your nail besties on Insta (don't forget to tag me) <3
