When it comes to choosing nail products to use on your clients, is it better to stick with one brand or mix and match? In this episode I'm joined by Beauty By Sophie O to talk about the pros and cons of brand loyalty as a nail tech.

We share our experience with different systems, how brand choice can impact your services, and what to consider before committing. Whether you're just starting out, thinking about switching things up, or you just want to hear our thoughts on the topic... this one's for you.

Beauty By Sasha joins me to discuss all things events... from pre event anxiety to fire breathers, road tripping, and dancing until 3am! After meeting Sasha at a Manchester nail tech networking event, we've since gone to two more together including the HONA After Christmas party, so who better to come onto the podcast and chat all about nail industry events?!

After an (unplanned) hiatus whilst I got married - Nails and Yap is back!!

In today's episode I'm chatting with Novo Geo, Nail Order's Manchester Xtensions educator, studio owner, and all round top gal. We're both yappers so strap in, it's a long one!

Do you find yourself exhausted, losing your passion and resenting the job? It could be burnout... but it could also be a lack of boundaries.

I'm joined by Studio Kiki to discuss the importance of boundaries, and the consequences not setting them has, while I give her a cute chrome mani 💅

I'm joined by Liv 4 Nails to talk all about our memorable clients throughout our nail tech careers - from the good and the bad to the brides, funerals, and our red flags.

We also solve this weeks 'Nightmare From The Nail Desk'... which may or may not involve an illegal request!

As with as lot of nail techs, neither me or my guest El started our nail careers at beauty college. Both of us ended up owning our nail businesses after trying other jobs first, so today we're discussing how we think starting later impacted our businesses, what the pros are, struggles we've faced, and how it impacts confidence and success.

This week's 'Nightmare from the Nail Desk' involves a negative client - and how we think our hypothetical nail tech Becky should deal with her!

Thank you so much for listening - I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Welcome to Nails and Yap Episode 1! I'm so excited to launch my new podcast. This one was a bit of a sit down intro, so it's not in the usual format but I wanted to say hi and introduce myself a little bit before I roll out the guests from next week.

Thanks for listening!
