I'm baaack!
Hi everyone! 💛 Sorry for going MIA there for a bit 🥲 The December rush is always a crazy one, and even though I'm still in it, I do see the light at the end of the tunnel again x Part of the reason for my disappearance was that I have two branches of my salon, nails and beauty, and at the end of November, my beauty therapist unexpectedly left, so it was a bit crazy managing all of that with the normal rush in the nail salon. ANYWAY, I do have a few plans I'm working on to free up some of my time this year, stepping back from my nail table, so that I can focus on giving this space the love it deserves 🫶 The first thing I want to do is to shift the live Social Media Sessions from 1pmNZT to 6pmNZT to make it more accessible - would that work for you? Let me know what you think of that, and if there are any other sessions you'd like to see on a regular basis 🎉 Have a great weekend 🤗

Unfortunately this would be 330pm in my state and therefore I'll be with clients. Will the sessions be recorded?

There are so many gorgeous ones! I didn't do many this year actually, but this one is a fav
Dust Brush
Okay, so I feel like we all have one of those big fluffy brushes that we use for each client to brush away the dust...butttt I feel like this isn't very sterile 🤷‍♀️ How do you clean it efficiently between clients or am I overreacting?

Nail Art Qs
How do you achieve the "reverse bloom" effect that the white is doing? Would that be a milky white, laid in a certain spot and then top coat to make the dots? (Like you do with water effect) Thank you

@Paula Parry I did think that, but I feel like it spread too much

I did it 😍 I just did a water effect. So I laid the milky white, fluffed it out abit with an umbrella brush and then placed top coat as droplets and allowed to bloom
What is a “Lead Source”… and why should a nail tech care?
Think of a lead source as the doorway someone walks through before they book with you. It's the “how they found you” part (aka the clue that tells you where your next client is hiding.) For nail techs, your lead sources are things like: • Your Instagram page • A Reel that performed well • Your Google Business profile • Word-of-mouth from your favourite loudmouth friend • A TikTok tutorial that people saved • Your salon signage • Pinterest pins • Local Facebook groups • Your e-book freebies (lead magnets), guides, or helpful posts • Even a single client selfie that quietly did numbers When you know which door clients walk through, you'll know where to focus your energy. Nothing works better than doubling down on what’s already working. Once you start tracking them, your bookings will stop feeling random and start feeling intentional. Let's start a conversation about it: Where do your best clients usually come from? And which lead sources do you think you’re struggling with? Let’s compare notes and help each other 🫶

@Nicky MacLean Yes I do, but I don't mind as it's usually people who aren't in my niche. I find them to be people wanting cheap or free services. This is another reason why I charge at a higher level, so that I draw in my niche clients.

@Nicky MacLean When I started my biz I was set on making it align with me and my core values so I've really been working towards building a clientele that supports me as much as I support them. Oh gosh! That would have been a tricky situation 🙈 100% I do, though you won't 'convert' everyone. I used to be a client who didnt want to pay over $60; however, I wasn't educated on why it should be more. I've definitely have had conversations with possible clients and have refused services and explained to them why and they are shocked at what I've been able to teach them...and yep..they tend to come back to me once their nails have healed
