Man I thought it was just me. I bought a nail drill and a UV light and now along with a lot more things! Idk what gels to buy since she always raves about madam glam, there's so much research to do now that I watched this!
I luv that you're promoting non Asian women to become a nail techs. I'm always telling black women and young black women to learn and get a business. Any woman can learn so kudos.
It's so interesting you said that and I did hear her say that as well. I'm working on opening up a Nail School in Charlotte, NC. There is a need. because the current nail schools having huge waiting lists and the working conditions and location are not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
@@deecee3174 We know that other ppl CAN do it, other than Asian immigrants. But its not always easy to find any nail salons other than those owned by Asians. The non-Asian nail techs Ive seen in my area on IG are all operating from their homes not salons. As many Black women as there are who wear acrylic nails, we should be a dominant group of ppl able to DO nails professionally.
I just finished school and my clientele is growing faster than I thought it would. Im terrified of state board but I’m scheduled to take my test this Month. I’m working with a portible nail table in my living room. I’m hoping I find a 3 bedroom and turn 1 into a nail room. I enjoyed this video . Thanks Nat 💜
i personally never struggled with this but what i did was start my instagram page when i was starting and posted all my work. instagram or any social media is free advertising,, use it
I’ve always been into beauty (hair, nails, makeup) but one day when I was a stay at home mom, I was like “I want my nails done but I don’t want to spend money to keep it up”, so I started doing my own nails.... I hopped on TH-cam watched a random video and there it started. Fast forward when I really started getting into makeup, one of your videos pops up on my timeline and you honestly awakened a passion for me wanting to do others nails. Now, I’m enrolling in school for cosmetology and can’t wait to be out here slaying the world. Your work is AMAZING and I love your videos.
Me and my sister are trying to help our parents financially because we are siblings out of 6 so we are going to start a nail business so this video really helped!
i just fell in love. Girl!!! i don't care what business it is you start cheap and work your way up as it makes sense. thank you for bringing practicality
You are so humble and down to earth its amazing to watch you do so well... you are so real and down to earth... I honestly think you are an inspiration....x
I love this video. I got a little emotional because your speaking the truth! I been licensed for almost 3 years and when I was just starting business was surprisingly good! It was hard work getting there but shortly after I got pregnant and got seriously sick and now my son is here and my health is almost back to 100%, I'm back to rock bottom and its almost heartbreaking. But your video really inspired me and reassures me that it's ok to be on the bottom! Ima come back a better person and nail tech!Thank you!
I wrote notes on this video and will take more notes I'm finishing dental school but I want to have a business of my own and I'm very intrigued with nails and honestly filing and sculping just scared to get in the game ya know but I'm happy there's people that put us on game God bless
Blessed because she shares her knowledge, I hate that we see all these nail techs to get on with the roll and it seems like they say things but don’t honestly share their knowledge 💯. Thank u 🙏🏻 for being you and sharing your honest truth
I needed this vid! I'll be establishing (soon after covid19)the first ever nail salon that offers acrylics and gel in my city!!! (baguio city,Philippines) and i am scared as hell! 😭😭😭 so anxioooous!i know its illegal to some countries/states to offer service without any license but here, as long as you know what youre doing your good. (but having a certificate finishing cosmetology is a plus but people dont mind). Please wish for me the best😭💗 *tips and advices are welcome! Xox
Can you do a vlog on what it’s like having a home based nail business ? I don’t see a lot of those. maybe talk about what you love and what you hate, any issues you’ve ran into when dealing with clients coming to your home, any regrets and suggestions based off your experience♥️
For the past 4 months I have been thinking about picking up nails as an additional hobby that I can make money from (I do makeup). I’ve studied videos and techniques, I’ve got commitments from friends an family as practice for when I do begin, I’ve watched every one of your videos from like the past year... but for some reason I felt that I didn’t know where to start, if I ever began to feel ready enough. At one point I had a Mia Secret Starter kit in my amazon cart for about a week, debating if using that much of my check was worth it. Being in school, working, and having a part time job, I began to fear I wouldn’t be able to start up and be successful. Scared of failure, wasting money, and my own time, I just decided to play it safe and give up the idea of ever becoming a Nail Tech. This video has re-inspired me.. I can do what I put my mind to. Thank you for these wonderful tips.
I’m starting Kiss products and Dollar store nail polish for practice. I’ve purchased some Mia secret products but I’m saving those for when I get better 😩 but nice to know that I’m not being cheap 😋
Not at all, I’m also a beginner and i have gone to my local nails store to buy some stuff but don’t buy pricey just yet, the beginning is a lot of wasted product since we’re still learning. You got this ! :)
I’m 16 and was kinda discouraged to start because some girls my age have had years of experience already but this video definitely helped thank you so much 💕
I’m in manicurist school now! I’ll be a certified nail tech soon! I keep posting my work but I’m going to keep practicing and learning to grow my clientele. Thank you for your advice. I been watching you since you started and you made me grind hard to be here where I am now! I will take heed to your advice!!!
I'm here for this! I love how business savvy you are at such a young age and even though I'm older than you I look up to you when it comes to this nail business. Thanks for the video Natali!
I watched this video because I’m trying to help a friend with her business plan for her nail business. I already know a lot about being self employed and running businesses, but it was comforting listening to someone else talk about the exact same fundamentals for running a business
I’ve been procrastinating going into the nail industry, but this video gave me all the inspiration I needed. Thank you so much for making this video 💜✨
I am so thankful for your videos. Out of all the nail technicians in the industry rn I respect you the most because u are the most real and super professional! I love ur content and I love how u never gatekeep us about how to be successful. Thank you for representing the realities of the biz and that no matter where u came from u can achieve ur dreams 🥰
I've been doing nails from 2012 I start and stop so many times .now I started again listening to you speak makes me feel like this time I got this .thank you so much for inspiring me ❤💅🏿💅🏾💅🏽
You don't know how much I needed this. I am a struggling nail tech and I had to put my business on hold in favor of doing a job I don't care for just to have something coming in. There was not a client in sight for me 🥺. Maybe this summer.
Hey natalie, it's my first year filing since I got my LLC. I really want you to talk about the taxes. I know it's scary because I'm nervous about filing this year but I'm ready to learn. Love you and everything you do!!
Thank you for the advice. I watched this a while back. I became licensed about 3 months ago and all this information has been super helpful. I’ve moved into a suite and clientele has been booming for me.
I just found your channel and I'm so glad.... And when you said Arkansas, I about passed out..... I'm here in Arkansas and I'm in nail school right now and I'm only having to take nails..... I was just looking all this up and I found you on Google..... Girl, I'm so glad I found you.....
I live in Atlanta, and I naturally really good at nails. People been telling me for years you should charge to do people nails but never did. Girls here pay 75-250 for nails here so i think it might be time to take this seriously thank you for making this video.
This video was honestly Beautiful as a boy who wants to start trying to do nails and finding the product to start as a little expensive I’m confident that I’ll be able to do it one day love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Really helpful! I'm a beginner starting my own nail salon. This video's been a huge boost and super inspiring - thanks a bunch! Running a nail salon is seriously a big expense ! BTW, I've been using INFINITE GEL POLISH as I kick things off. It's a lifesaver for saving on gel polish costs, maybe this will help you guys too.
Im actually a beginner and ive been watching so many videos of Natali and ive been buying products from ali express and im going to continue to do my nail dream and i hope i can do it!!
Thank you so much, this was very informative for me, as I am literally walking through the process of converting my garage into my home salon and going through the county to obtain my BTR (Business Tax Receipt). I already have the LLC and my EIN.
This was very helpful. I intend to get my license. I got most stuff since I took a certification, but my goal is my license. It is true, one start from the bottom. It is very ideal and takes a lot of patience. There is a saying,"good things come to those who wait".
Don't give up guys ! It has taken me months to do my nails and not have them pop off within the first week or two . I still have some lifting but it's getting better . Keep practicing . You'll get there ! Much love to all .
As I was watching your video I felt like crying. I can see, feel and hear the pain in your voice and I'm so happy for you that you have made it to a point in your life where you are doing what you love. Baby girl you are inspiring other people to follow their dreams and to never give up. I want you to know that I appreciate you and I wish I could give you a hug. I don't do nails and after watching this you made me feel like getting my license that's how awesome you are. To whomever is struggling please do cry and let it out take a deep breath and continue because we need you to do awesome nails and as small as that may be it helps others feel good about themselves with a bom new set of nails baby and refresh that energy. So get on with it and Get nailed baby
I would like to own a nail salon but without being a nail tech. I would know everything there is to know about the business - promote it, fund it, but hire the nail techs and lash techs. Can you make a video on that?
thank you for talking about and encouraging starting with affordable supplies. i always get excited and buy way too much stuff for way too much money especially for just starting something
Really Appreciate your transparency and willingness to share your wisdom and knowledge. You are definitely helping me to get rid of the fears of bringing my dream of becoming a nail artist to life. God bless you!
This was encouraging.....am really humbled.. am just a beginner and dont really have enough products but still manage to do something at the end of the day...really appreciate the words of encouragement i was also almost givin up... but hearing this is so just a blessing thank you so much...
Wow this must be some kind of a sign because I have had my cosmetology licenses for a few years and I did this n got taken advantage of n got discouraged… then i tried doing it from my house , ppl didn’t come constantly. Now I just do my own nail cause my confidence is so low n I’m to old to try n start something I really like to turn into a business…. But you video is awesome, thank you 🙏🏽
thank you so, so much for your videos!!! I learn so much from them. I hope to be as great as you one of these days. I start school Monday and I've been excited, nervous, discouraged, motivated lolz I'm all over the place. but again thank you and keep the coming!!!
I so appreciate finding this, I'm just starting out and I didn't know half this. I'm trying to be mobile here in Atlanta. Thank you so much for this information. I was starting to give up 😔, but this has inspired me so much. Thank you 😘
Thank you so much for posting this. I I'm about to start nail tech school in the next 3 weeks and I want to own my business. Thanks for all the tips!!!
Great that you are helping people with your knowledge I’m thinking of taking on a apprentice and getting the license is seemingly harder than I planned but I told her if it’s something she wants bad enough don’t give up will see
you are so right, most of the things i got to get me started was because of you, however, i am a mother of 2 and have also been cheap so i did use alternatives. I use the glam and glitz system and i absolutely love it, it’s super easy for me to use and dries fast- exactly what you said in your review vid
I finally have gotten to the point where I’m confident in my work because I got a practice hand which helped a lot because it’s hard to get your nails perfect when you do them on your self and I also switched to Mia secret and have no lifting when I do my nails. Now I’m like how am I going to get clients because I really don’t have friends so to do their nails and show my work 😩
Same here. Have a couple friends but they on quote not doing they’re nails anymore but they go to a nail salon. But hey...it’s ok🤷🏻♀️Definitely do post when i do my son’s girlfriend nails or my mom. And also practicing more with practice hand. Natalie which ventilation do you use while in your home?
i can totally relate to this i have no friends at all that would come to me so im like what clients would i even get.. lol so i can totally relate to this as well. best of luck!
Message people! Create a sweet intro message and start firing them out to people with pics of any work youve done. To find people, go to other nail pages of people in your area and message 'their' followers. It's cheeky, but it works! Good luck x
I needed this video!! You've just inspired me and gave me a lot of information that I needed to know. Plus you're just so real!!! I love your style too. I appreciate you so much, you just don't know!!
I love your videos. The reality of things and the soothing words that "it's just the part of learning" lifting,regular .nail polishes,elite. Relatable content .constructive and motivating .
You are so humble and that is why I enjoy your videos... new subbie for sure... you teach so much and this video is right on time for me. I intend on getting licensed but being in the Army and other requirements I can't just yet but you are a definite inspiration for me. Thank you, may God continue to bless you.
thank you for your time you gave me a lot to think about its not as easy as i thought it would be i better start working on it so i can start making that money.
Yessss I love this video I also started doing nails in 2010 and I am self taught so I was already playing in it. You must give your self time. Remember your skills will always be your. She is soo right don’t rush buying all the high prices things I to also start with dollars store items and I still use them lol. Practice have fun with it. And make sure you get them L’s. I stop doing nails for 5 years to have a family and now I’m just getting back into it an now it’s a different ball game. Just go at your paste and you will be ok. I LOVE YOUR PAGE GIRL KEEP GOING😍❤️❤️💅🏾💅🏾
This is a very informative video. I have been doing nails for two year and I need to get my license. I did go to school, but life happened like losing my mother and financial situations so I couldn’t pay for the test right away. I’m in Philadelphia and I really wanna open my own salon
had a quick question for anyone who see's this. If you wanted to start a nail business at home, but it wasn't official (doing nails for people you know like friends and family) would you need a license and and to go through all of the legal issues? Also, what would you say that you need materials wise to start? Thank you so much for this, it helped so much and I'm hoping I can start a business in the future.💕
This video was so helpful. Great advice. Thank you so much. I thought I would need to spend a whole lot purchasing products to start off. I would appreciate if you did another video getting into the legalities of the business start-up. Much love.
I’m so glad you made this video. I’m taking notes. Lol I’m so excited to enroll in school to get my nail technician license. I live in NC, the glasses I have to do is 3-4 months. I’m so nervous 😩 pray for me 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I know i can do it. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’m in NC too! I would have to do night school bc I work full time and a mother. I’m nervous too girl! You got this though! Good luck on your nail journey!
Gabrielle Elise hey girl! Thank you Aww good luck to you too girl. you got this. I have to wait until the Summer or fall to take the class because I was trying to apply for financial aid and the thing kept saying wrong password and couldn’t get it done in time 🥺
I love doing hair and nails and wanna go to school for it but people always say that kind of work is not for introverts so I let that keep me from pursuing it, any introverts out there who are in this field of work, if so how’d it work out for you? anyway good advice natali your really good at what you do
I'm a FULL FLEDGED INTROVERT! I'm married, I don't go out, unless to grocery shop or run errands. I don't have friends. I pretty much read, write, study and practice my craft and watch tv...lol. I have a full clientele. I keep everything professional. I have learned to listen and ask questions. It keeps the clients talking and I NEVER have to talk about myself. They never notice. They come here to vent and rant. I do not judge, offer my opinion (unless asked), I allow my clients to feel comfortable and accepted. I charge my worth. Nothing is too personal, ghetto, or inappropriate. I only accept cash or transfers through Zelle. I have no social media! All of my clients are word of mouth!!!! I'm 34. Definitely utilize social media if you're comfortable to grow your business. Good luck. You can do this!!!!
Thank you for business advise 😊💗😊💗. Makes me feel confident and just Doing IT! " TAKING YOUR ADVICE TO heart." Shout out to all the new beginers Nail Techs.🧿💅💅🙏
Omg Queen! Tysm!!!! This was so helpful. Before this video, I had no idea what to do or how to start with my nails and hair journey! I always stressing because this is what I really want to do and now I know exactly what to do! Thank you! 💗👑💅✨
Thank you Natalie for all the great tips and helpful information. Love that your always willing to help answer questions and that your always encouraging new ones who are trying to be successful in Nails or those who want to start their own nail business! THANK YOU!
I'm actually scared of attracting clients. I have no idea how and this is a complete career change from an office job to the beauty industry. I have a passion for beauty but need to attract clients
I've been sharing your video to many. This is so important and I'm certainly grateful you took the time to educate me and I'm sure many others. Thank you so much, Natali!
thank you Natalie for speaking on this subject of business this is really important and I really want to be a nail tech and become popular in my city so please continue doing your thing on TH-cam love you💗💗💗
Thanks girl! Definitely needed to hear this coz I definitely thought you had to have the top brand polishes for your work to be good. Iv had to finish up work due to health problems so instead of staying home doing nothing and becoming depressed, I decided to start a new hobbie doing press on nails. So I enjoy watching all your videos. Hope you and your family are well with the lock down bizzo. Sending love and respect from New zealand 💕
New subbie here ☝️!! Ur such an inspiration and knowledgeable!! I havent done my own nails in about 3 yrs (self taught)..... since being quarantined i started giving press ons a try (tired of how my nails were looking 😣) & after watching ur vid about those i want to launch my own press ons ALSO im gonna start doing acrylic again..... already got my product cant wait to start TONIGHT 💅 Thank u!! Stay blessed!! 👑💅💝🤙
She made me humble myself , Im over here thinking I got to spend and buy the most expensive best things to start 🤦♀️
Becky Papanikolaou man same i almost bought a $200 kit before seeing this
me too, I was getting overwhelmed with whether or not i had to buy the more expensive products to have good quality.
Man I thought it was just me. I bought a nail drill and a UV light and now along with a lot more things! Idk what gels to buy since she always raves about madam glam, there's so much research to do now that I watched this!
taithegreatest $200 isn’t bad
Amy A pay for it then
I luv that you're promoting non Asian women to become a nail techs. I'm always telling black women and young black women to learn and get a business. Any woman can learn so kudos.

It's so interesting you said that and I did hear her say that as well. I'm working on opening up a Nail School in Charlotte, NC. There is a need. because the current nail schools having huge waiting lists and the working conditions and location are not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Everybody can do this whatever the race or the gender! Dont limit yourself girls
I’m Asian and it’s not only Asians that can do nails. Any woman even man can do it! Just saying. Have a blessed day 😇

Omg the picture of her dog in the back is hella cute ❤️
Lol thank you
Im actually a beginner and ive been watching so many videos of Natali and ive been buying products from ali express and im going to continue to do my nail dream and i hope i can do it!!
Thank you so much, this was very informative for me, as I am literally walking through the process of converting my garage into my home salon and going through the county to obtain my BTR (Business Tax Receipt). I already have the LLC and my EIN.
This was very helpful. I intend to get my license. I got most stuff since I took a certification, but my goal is my license. It is true, one start from the bottom. It is very ideal and takes a lot of patience. There is a saying,"good things come to those who wait".
Don't give up guys ! It has taken me months to do my nails and not have them pop off within the first week or two . I still have some lifting but it's getting better . Keep practicing . You'll get there ! Much love to all .
As I was watching your video I felt like crying. I can see, feel and hear the pain in your voice and I'm so happy for you that you have made it to a point in your life where you are doing what you love. Baby girl you are inspiring other people to follow their dreams and to never give up. I want you to know that I appreciate you and I wish I could give you a hug. I don't do nails and after watching this you made me feel like getting my license that's how awesome you are. To whomever is struggling please do cry and let it out take a deep breath and continue because we need you to do awesome nails and as small as that may be it helps others feel good about themselves with a bom new set of nails baby and refresh that energy. So get on with it and Get nailed baby
I would like to own a nail salon but without being a nail tech. I would know everything there is to know about the business - promote it, fund it, but hire the nail techs and lash techs. Can you make a video on that?
My goal as well!!!! Best of luck to you!🙏
I'd like to do that as well
That is awesome!!
I’m contemplating this idea as well
thank you for talking about and encouraging starting with affordable supplies. i always get excited and buy way too much stuff for way too much money especially for just starting something
I needed to be humbled, I thought I had to spend hella money to start off but it was amazing seeing where you started 💘
Really Appreciate your transparency and willingness to share your wisdom and knowledge. You are definitely helping me to get rid of the fears of bringing my dream of becoming a nail artist to life. God bless you!
This was encouraging.....am really humbled.. am just a beginner and dont really have enough products but still manage to do something at the end of the day...really appreciate the words of encouragement i was also almost givin up... but hearing this is so just a blessing thank you so much...
Wow this must be some kind of a sign because I have had my cosmetology licenses for a few years and I did this n got taken advantage of n got discouraged… then i tried doing it from my house , ppl didn’t come constantly. Now I just do my own nail cause my confidence is so low n I’m to old to try n start something I really like to turn into a business…. But you video is awesome, thank you 🙏🏽
thank you so, so much for your videos!!! I learn so much from them. I hope to be as great as you one of these days. I start school Monday and I've been excited, nervous, discouraged, motivated lolz I'm all over the place. but again thank you and keep the coming!!!
This was so helpful! I'm thinking of going to nail school, and starting my own nail tech business and you really helped me, thank you so much!
I so appreciate finding this, I'm just starting out and I didn't know half this. I'm trying to be mobile here in Atlanta. Thank you so much for this information. I was starting to give up 😔, but this has inspired me so much. Thank you 😘
Thank you so much for posting this. I I'm about to start nail tech school in the next 3 weeks and I want to own my business. Thanks for all the tips!!!
Great that you are helping people with your knowledge I’m thinking of taking on a apprentice and getting the license is seemingly harder than I planned but I told her if it’s something she wants bad enough don’t give up will see
Seeing your progress pics makes me not want to give up on anything in life wth.. girl you definitely came a long way.. shout out to you 👏🏾
you are so right, most of the things i got to get me started was because of you, however, i am a mother of 2 and have also been cheap so i did use alternatives. I use the glam and glitz system and i absolutely love it, it’s super easy for me to use and dries fast- exactly what you said in your review vid
Thank you for being real and down to earth so much. Having this info now makes a big difference. 💅
I finally have gotten to the point where I’m confident in my work because I got a practice hand which helped a lot because it’s hard to get your nails perfect when you do them on your self and I also switched to Mia secret and have no lifting when I do my nails. Now I’m like how am I going to get clients because I really don’t have friends so to do their nails and show my work 😩
Totally Tiff upload your work on Instagram and tag in the hashtag your location and any nail tags you can think of.
Same here. Have a couple friends but they on quote not doing they’re nails anymore but they go to a nail salon. But hey...it’s ok🤷🏻♀️Definitely do post when i do my son’s girlfriend nails or my mom. And also practicing more with practice hand. Natalie which ventilation do you use while in your home?
Totally relatable
i can totally relate to this i have no friends at all that would come to me so im like what clients would i even get.. lol so i can totally relate to this
as well. best of luck!
Message people! Create a sweet intro message and start firing them out to people with pics of any work youve done. To find people, go to other nail pages of people in your area and message 'their' followers. It's cheeky, but it works! Good luck x
I truly love the idea wise thoughts always thought buying expensive kits for the start was the smartest move kudos
I needed this video!! You've just inspired me and gave me a lot of information that I needed to know. Plus you're just so real!!! I love your style too. I appreciate you so much, you just don't know!!
I love your videos. The reality of things and the soothing words that "it's just the part of learning" lifting,regular .nail polishes,elite. Relatable content .constructive and motivating .
You are so humble and that is why I enjoy your videos... new subbie for sure... you teach so much and this video is right on time for me. I intend on getting licensed but being in the Army and other requirements I can't just yet but you are a definite inspiration for me. Thank you, may God continue to bless you.
thank you for your time you gave me a lot to think about its not as easy as i thought it would be i better start working on it so i can start making that money.
Thank you for sharing💖and love your 3 cute babies :)) Good luck in your journey to success 💖BIG LIKE👍
🙌🏼🙏 I so needed to hear this ... I’m currently enrolled in school for my cosmetology license, I’m slowly trying to purchase items to start my business
Yessss I love this video I also started doing nails in 2010 and I am self taught so I was already playing in it. You must give your self time. Remember your skills will always be your. She is soo right don’t rush buying all the high prices things I to also start with dollars store items and I still use them lol. Practice have fun with it. And make sure you get them L’s. I stop doing nails for 5 years to have a family and now I’m just getting back into it an now it’s a different ball game. Just go at your paste and you will be ok. I LOVE YOUR PAGE GIRL KEEP GOING😍❤️❤️💅🏾💅🏾
This is a very informative video. I have been doing nails for two year and I need to get my license. I did go to school, but life happened like losing my mother and financial situations so I couldn’t pay for the test right away. I’m in Philadelphia and I really wanna open my own salon
Okay. I got my pen ready. Let's do this
I love how honest you are ❤. Thanks for the advice.
had a quick question for anyone who see's this. If you wanted to start a nail business at home, but it wasn't official (doing nails for people you know like friends and family) would you need a license and and to go through all of the legal issues? Also, what would you say that you need materials wise to start? Thank you so much for this, it helped so much and I'm hoping I can start a business in the future.💕
I really needed this video. I’m a beginner but I feel more encouraged again now
This video was so helpful. Great advice. Thank you so much. I thought I would need to spend a whole lot purchasing products to start off. I would appreciate if you did another video getting into the legalities of the business start-up. Much love.
Thank you soooo much chula!!! 💖🥰💅🏼
I’m so glad you made this video. I’m taking notes. Lol I’m so excited to enroll in school to get my nail technician license. I live in NC, the glasses I have to do is 3-4 months. I’m so nervous 😩 pray for me 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I know i can do it. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’m in NC too! I would have to do night school bc I work full time and a mother. I’m nervous too girl! You got this though! Good luck on your nail journey!
Gabrielle Elise hey girl! Thank you Aww good luck to you too girl. you got this. I have to wait until the Summer or fall to take the class because I was trying to apply for financial aid and the thing kept saying wrong password and couldn’t get it done in time 🥺
I love doing hair and nails and wanna go to school for it but people always say that kind of work is not for introverts so I let that keep me from pursuing it, any introverts out there who are in this field of work, if so how’d it work out for you? anyway good advice natali your really good at what you do
I'm a FULL FLEDGED INTROVERT! I'm married, I don't go out, unless to grocery shop or run errands. I don't have friends. I pretty much read, write, study and practice my craft and watch tv...lol. I have a full clientele. I keep everything professional. I have learned to listen and ask questions. It keeps the clients talking and I NEVER have to talk about myself. They never notice. They come here to vent and rant. I do not judge, offer my opinion (unless asked), I allow my clients to feel comfortable and accepted. I charge my worth. Nothing is too personal, ghetto, or inappropriate. I only accept cash or transfers through Zelle. I have no social media! All of my clients are word of mouth!!!! I'm 34.
Definitely utilize social media if you're comfortable to grow your business. Good luck. You can do this!!!!
Helpful.. Glorious as usual 🔥🔥
Thank you for business advise 😊💗😊💗. Makes me feel confident and just Doing IT! " TAKING YOUR ADVICE TO heart." Shout out to all the new beginers Nail Techs.🧿💅💅🙏
Omg Queen! Tysm!!!! This was so helpful. Before this video, I had no idea what to do or how to start with my nails and hair journey! I always stressing because this is what I really want to do and now I know exactly what to do! Thank you! 💗👑💅✨
Thank you Natalie for all the great tips and helpful information. Love that your always willing to help answer questions and that your always encouraging new ones who are trying to be successful in Nails or those who want to start their own nail business! THANK YOU!
I'm actually scared of attracting clients. I have no idea how and this is a complete career change from an office job to the beauty industry. I have a passion for beauty but need to attract clients
You got this ! Just be yourself and you will attract your tribe ❤️
I've been sharing your video to many. This is so important and I'm certainly grateful you took the time to educate me and I'm sure many others. Thank you so much, Natali!
much needed, so many reasons to love you as a person, your energy is bomb and the free game is so helpful! the g.o.a.t in this nail tech world 😩🤍😘

This video is so helpful I thinking of becoming a nail tech but I didn’t know where I should start off but this video is helpful.
I live in Arkansas as well. This was very very inspiring. It took me forever to figure out what I want to do. Thank you for this video!
Thanks girl! Definitely needed to hear this coz I definitely thought you had to have the top brand polishes for your work to be good. Iv had to finish up work due to health problems so instead of staying home doing nothing and becoming depressed, I decided to start a new hobbie doing press on nails. So I enjoy watching all your videos. Hope you and your family are well with the lock down bizzo. Sending love and respect from New zealand 💕
