Well, not you. I sorta figure most of my readers are actually nail techs themselves. But that's what I want to shout at people sometimes. I hear people whining about finding a "good" nail tech all
Just wanted to dedicate a quick moment to following up on my trip to the recent nails-only tradeshow in Sacramento. I know I went into it with very low expectations after several years of watching this particular
As soon as I can shoo my last client out the door tomorrow, the BF and I will be hitting the road for Sacramento for the nail show this weekend. OK, mostly for the nail show —
So last weekend was the Big Family Disneyland Outing. It was a long time, on a hot weekend, with a lot of people. But this is not about Disneyland. Like many families visiting the Disneyland Resort
The massage therapist next door is half Korean. In 40 years, she had never had a chance to meet her mother’s side of the family, so she recently took an actual vacation (she works 24/7) to
It has long befuddled me how the state determines its methods of regulating our industry. Mostly, I’m one of those curmudgeon-types who thinks the government should stay out of what they don’t have any experience in.
Since I just wrote about calculating booked-ness (if I can spell it, it’s a word!) I figured this would be a good time to write this post too. There’s no such thing as a full book. OK ...

How often do you see something online, or at a craft fair, etc., and think those words? Or worse, hear passersby saying it when you’re the vendor at a craft fair or holiday boutique? Well, we work
It is absolutely amazing how much difference there is between the haunted, obsessed Maggie and the EUREKA WOOHOO Maggie. First of all, I realize I have not exactly been up to my usual self and it shows
So one of my clients has opened a dance studio. This would ordinarily fall under the category of "stuff my clients do in their personal life that makes for interesting conversation but doesn't really involve me"
I guess it was about this time last year when I gave online scheduling a try. That turned out to be a total disaster for me. My area just isn't ready for the part where they
I can't even finish reading either of the two latest issues of my trade magazines. The magazines are full of nothing but gel polish and “applique” ads. All these professional product manufacturers who supply the professional
Why do they all have to talk with their hands while I’m holding a drill against their nail beds? Seriously, I appreciate the trust, but let’s get real.Aside from chasing their hands through the air like
