You can do it without quitting your job. I work in medicine and I’ve trained in nails recently which I do on the side. Get a manicure qualification and build on that, I did a vtct level 2 in mani/pedi. That’s the basic foundation you need to start. Some colleges will offer evening or weekends. Then you could do acrylics after, I followed with acrylics and gel after. Then just slowly build up your client base, once you start getting established you could start cutting your hours down down x

You can do a home learning course I did and now I am a home based nail tech I love being home as I can do my housework between clients my washing cooking and looking after my husband who is ill. I went to essential nails and I do think it needs updating but you learn what you need to know and you can pay over 6 months. If you need any more info or help. Email me at [email protected] good luck. X
