FORM FILES | EPISODE 03 ✨

Chrome, cat-eye, questionable singing abilities… and A LOT that definitely wasn’t meant to make the final cut. 😂🤎

This week’s episode has:
✨ Plenty of chrome
✨ Cat-eye magic
✨ Behind-the-scenes chaos
✨ Lots of laughs
✨ Singing that should probably stay off-camera…
✨ And a few moments that prove what *really* happens at the nail desk 😂

Because the nails might be polished…

but the process definitely isn’t always!

Press play for another week inside Form Files🤎

✨ THE NAIL FILES — EPISODE 02*✨

💍 Wedding Bells & 8-Week Nails

When your client says, “I need these to last for 8 weeks cos I can’t get an appt 🙈 or I want long nails before the wedding …” — the pressure is ON. 👀💅🏼

In Episode 2 of The Nail Files, we’re talking all things long-lasting retention, bridal nails & those “I need them perfect for WEEKS” clients. With my neglected 12 year old daughters nails thrown in too 🫣 because life been busy and sometimes we find ourself in these situations at the nail desk! it’s not getting dressed up over here , we always keep it real & relatable 😜

Because 8-week nails are never the goal and never recommended it does happen at times , 8-week growth & retention with a healthy natural nail is always the goal , and hopefully lessons learnt to book in advance 👊😅🤌🏼

This episode is a behind the scenes of what really happens behind the desk sometimes 🫣 it’s not all aesthetically pleasing but it’s , real life as a fully booked tech 😅with years of experience behind me , I’ve mastered the art of how create nails that can withstand “I’ve got a wedding, honeymoon and a million photos coming up or I can’t get an appt test. 😂

Save it. Share it with your nail bestie. And tell me…

How long is the longest your client has ever gone between appointments? 👀

📖 FULLY BOOKED DOESN’T MEAN PROFITABLE.

You can have every appointment filled, a diary that looks crazy busy and still not be making the money you think you are.

Because turnover isn’t profit.!

If you don’t know your costs, your timings, your service prices and what you actually take home from each appointment… being fully booked can simply mean you’re working more, not earning more.

And this is exactly why we need to talk about the business side of nails.

Because nobody teaches you this when you qualify.

So, welcome to my weekly education series where we’re going beyond the nails and breaking down the business knowledge you actually need to build a profitable, sustainable nail business.🤎

This weeks lesson: Fully booked ≠ profitable.

Save this for later.🤍
Send it to your nail tech bestie.💅🏼
And follow along — there’s a lot more to unpack.

How to flirt with your nail tech 💅🏼😏

Forget the flowers… just do these 5 things:

💅🏼 Interact with my content
💅🏼 Book your next appointment before you leave
💅🏼 Ask for a design you’ve actually booked time for 😂
💅🏼 Tell me you love your nails (bonus points if you take a pic)
💅🏼 Send your mates my way — now THAT’S flirting.

Because let’s be honest… the way to a nail tech’s heart is through **good bookings, good vibes & good clients** 😂🤎

Which one are you guilty of? 👀👇🏼

🚨 Episode 3 - What Nobody Taught Me in Nail Training 🎬

Clients don’t just buy nails... they buy trust.🤍

The best retention isn’t just about your BIAB application—it’s about how safe, heard, and confident your clients feel in your chair.

People remember:
✨ How you made them feel.
✨ Whether you listened.
✨ Whether you educated them.
✨ Whether they trusted your advice.

Pretty nails might get them through the door...
✨Trust is what keeps them coming back.✨

💭 What’s one thing you’ve done to build trust with your clients? Let me know below.



“Follow for Episode 4 of - What Nobody Taught Me in Nail Training Series —because success behind the desk deserves just as much attention as the work on it.”
