FINALLY I get to post this. . . I am starting Nail School! September 15th. I couldn't be happier with how it all played out. If you're religious like I am, it's apparent that Heavenly Father's hand was in it for sure. He is mindful of us and watches out for our best interest!
Here's the story: My awesome neighbor, who is constantly watching out for us, was talking to one of our other neighbors, who had just gotten a pedicure at a salon by our house. (Did you follow that?) She mentioned to my friend that the pedi she got was from a student. My friend called me up later that day and told me about it. I called them up and sure enough, they have an apprenticeship program!! I have to purchase the textbook and supplies for me to use, which is SIGNIFICANTLY less than the other schools I've been looking at. The girl is SO NICE! Other than that, I don't have to pay her anything. I have to work at the salon for a while after I'm done, but the hours are flexible and I think it will be a great way to build up some clientele. Then, I can decide if I like working in a salon or not. It might actually be good for my mental health to get out for a few hours here and there. ha ha ha. AND I will still take appointments at my home if you're more comfortable there or if it fits your schedule better. (My gift cards will only be good for appointments in my home or at my glitter toe parties!)
I will keep you posted and as soon as I start doing actual nails, come visit me!! I've been frantically online shopping to find the best deals on brushes, textbooks, fake hands, files, UV lights, etc. etc. etc. It's fun, and a little nerve racking. What if I totally suck?? I don't anticipate that being the case, but it could happen! :-) Mostly I'm just excited to get started, have some girl time, earn some money, and chat with all you awesome folks. I think as soon as I learn Rock Star Toes I should have a HUGE party!!!! You can all sparkle and glitter with me. Who's in?
