15 tips for those who want to engage "Nail Designer"

Nail designer is the professional who knows how to do nails decorated with artistic designs?

1. Choose your courses carefully

 Always see the reports of former students telling how the experience was.  Ask other professionals which courses they recommend.  Observe the didactics, the contents produced by those who teach the course.

 Also pay attention to the number of classes, how long each class lasts, what topics are covered and if there are support materials, such as bonus classes and e-books.

2. Be very judicious with your materials

 Choose your suppliers carefully.  Always give priority to quality products, evaluating cost and benefit.

 Sometimes it pays to pay a little more and avoid customer complaints, for example.

 And be careful when buying online, as there are many counterfeit products, especially in the gel nail area.

3. Invest in biosafety equipment

 A nail designer needs to have bio-safety equipment.  Be sure to change your uniform every day, wear a mask, cap, gloves and goggles.  Your health and that of your customers is at stake.

 Another essential piece of equipment for a nail designer is sterilizers.  Although the oven is cheaper, it is worth saving some money every month to buy your autoclave.

 The autoclave is the most efficient equipment for sterilizing everyday materials used by manicurists.

4. Manage your stock efficiently

 The lack of material can delay your calls or even make you lose customers.

 Therefore, create a stock organization routine, always restoring the materials in the right time.

 And remember, all that stays in your inventory is cash.

 Therefore, it is always better to shop more often in small quantities and have a cash reserve for an unforeseen event.

5. train every day

 You don't have to be the full client, but at least one nail you need to do a day.

 It will take a long time at first, so try to do it yourself.  Then test it on other people.

 There are artificial fingers used for this type of training.  If you can, buy one for training.

6. Always register your work

 Always take a picture of the nails you've done.  It may seem complicated at first, because you are unlikely to love your first jobs.

 But, understand, watching your progress is very important.

 Observing and developing a critical eye to understand where you can improve is the key to your professional development.

7. Develop your productivity

 In addition to taking pictures, also try to write down how much time you spend on each procedure.

 With the results in hand, note which steps take the most time and think of ways to save time without compromising the quality of your work.

 Often the organization of the workspace already causes many positive impacts on productivity.

8. Don't be discouraged by criticism

 People are often used to saying what they think without measuring the consequences of words.

 Always be open to constructive criticism from sensible people.  This type of criticism usually points out specific issues that can make you improve, whereas throwaway criticism is generic.

 For example: “I think the layers of nail polish are too thick”, is constructive criticism.  “It's horrible, I didn't like it”, is a disposable criticism, because it doesn't help you to understand where you're going wrong.

 Be proud of your achievements, each small achievement can give you gas to continue your journey.  Remember: no one is born knowing.

9. study digital marketing

 Digital marketing will help you use social media as business tools.
