I'm joined by Jennie Padbury, queen of real no holds barred content, to discuss what professionalism is as a nail tech. What do we consider professional, when do we filter ourselves, and which topics we think are a no go in the nail salon!

From Mounjaro to conspiracy theories - we share our tips for navigating tricky conversations, and how to show up authentically and unapologetically whilst in a service industry.

Products mentioned:

Nail Order - Dura Gel Lite

Nail Order Thermo Pro Gel Warmer

In this episode I'm joined by Jess to talk all about fitness and health as a nail tech, and how she fits it into her busy diary.

From setting boundaries to eating peperamis, Jess is full of helpful advice for those of you looking to incorporate wellness into your life when you're in a job that doesn't always go hand in hand with work/life balance.

We also solve a dilemma from someone who's client likes to wear sweaty gym gloves to her appointments... we say fire her! (as always...)
