Where do I get a cute plus-sized apron or jacket?

July 13, 2012

Where do I get a cute-plus sized apron or jacket? When I wear the one-size-fits-all apron when giving a pedicure, I get product and water on my knees. I’d be interested in what others wear.

Answer

We posed this question to our Facebook fans and the consensus seemed to be that other nail techs either put a towel across their knees to prevent product and water spillage or several DIY types made their own aprons or smocks. We published an article on cute salon aprons, which is now available online at www.nailsmag.com/designeraprons, so you may consider contacting some of those manufacturers and asking about plus-sizes. (Readers: If you know of a cute plus-size salon apron or jacket, e-mail editor[at]nailsmag.com, and we’ll try to share your response in an upcoming issue.)

How Do I Learn Nail Art If No One Is Available to Teach Me?

I am an apprentice in a natural nail salon. Sometimes I get requests for nail art. I would love to learn how to do different nail designs, but I am a beginner. I live in Virginia and there are never nail seminars or lectures or even hands-on classes here. Do you have any suggestions on learning nail art designs when there is no one in my area to teach it? Watching videos is good but sometimes you just need hands-on.
