New nail tech

Help! I'm fresh out of school with my first Salon job. I have to buy a lot to keep up and I have no idea where to start. I know about salon centric but those stores don't always have a very good selection for nails. All opinions welcome.

I would ask your instructor from nail school, and other techs in your area where they get their supplies. Saloncentric and Cosmoprof are nice, but it takes them months to get the latest trends. In my area there are a few small local Vietnamese owned nail supply stores that are great! They have 100x the selection of Saloncentric Cosmoprof, and always have the latest trends. They had chrome months before Saloncentric did, they have glow in the dark, which saloncentric still doesn't have!

Good luck!

Thank you so much for the advice! I'll definitely look into all of that!
