I suffer from social anxiety & panic attacks etc so I always think my work is crap , getting judged etc the list goes on , basically who am I kidding ... I'm wanting to work within a nail salon / side room to help build up clients as find it hard getting any in my area unless I drop my prices from £25 to £10 then they flood in , would like to know if you's would pay £25 for photos attached or are they really only worth £10 ? And should I just go for applying for jobs in salons as I know they have high expectations of work
All nails are done on me

Oh hun, don't put yourself down! You should price yourself where you deserve to be, not where other cheapskates want you to be.

I'm not qualified in enhancements so I can't give any feedback on your work. However I think £25 for enhancements are very reasonably priced.
May I ask who you trained with, and what it is that is making you doubt your own abilities?

Oh sorry , I don't know exactly , with my anxiety I hate even leaving my house and being in public , it's like I have a big bold neon arrow pointing to me , like I'm an alien & being judged on everything I do , I feel useless , unwanted & not needed , it's s horrible feeling and when someone does compliment my work I think there having a huge laugh at me x

 

[Anna Ljungberg]

Oh it must be horrible!

As your training sounded bad, do you think you would benefit from some better training, or even a 1-1 with an educator, I'm just thinking this would boost your confidence knowing that you have professional supporteam when you have any questions or concerns?

Tbh I think it's very strong of you posting your work here asking for feedback, your work is good and I think you should be proud of it!

Wow... your nails are really good.... defo worth 25... id actually charge 30... xx

The nails you have produced are beautiful! However please don't take this the wrong way, but without 'proper' training then in my opinion you should not be charging.

You said all your course did was to show you how to apply a white tip and an infill. Well to work professionally on the public you also need to know contraindications, health and safety, anatomy & physiology etc Were any of these things covered?

Have you been taught how to safely maintain the health of the natural nail and how to avoid causing damage during application and maintenance? If someone came to you with let's say a discoloured nail, would you be able to decide whether or not it was appropriate to apply product or whether you need to turn them away or refer them to a gp?

If you weren't taught these things then I would advise your best plan of action would be to enroll on some proper training as once you have that knowledge you will naturally feel more confident in your own skills and abilities. A good trainer will also provide ongoing support after your course, so when you feel a little wobbly or unsure you can get in contact and they'll be there to help.

And if you need help deciding on quality training ask us here, we've all got loads of expererience and will help whatever way we can

No none of that was taught , kind of gathered she only does the training for the money !
Which is sad really but all of the above mentioned I've learned myself over the last 4 years so even though not taught I'm well aware & educated in the above
I will be investing in further training though
