I started investing in myself and decided that I would do everything to become a professional nail stylist! I invested all the savings I had in self-development. Courses, training, in short, learning, learning and learning again. However, the beginnings were very difficult for an amateur like me. Nobody wanted to accept a person without experience, so I started to do nails to my friends and family. It lasted quite a long time because after working about 20 hours a week I had to keep up, pay bills, and still buy varnishes, files, lamps, and all the necessary equipment to continue learning.

Over time, strangers began to write to me wanting to arrange for nails design. I refused them for a very long time. I was afraid that they would not like it and it could have cut my wings … After some time my fiancé after many attempts persuaded me to try and convinced me that I was supposed to do it for free as a friend’s favour.

And then I gained confidence. More friends were happier and Messenger was full of girls asking for manicures. Then came the opportunity to work in the SharleyClinic salon on Perivale, without hesitation I took up the challenge.
