Top 7 mistakes of a novice manicurist

At the beginning of their career, many masters face various problems, and it is not always easy to identify their causes and find solutions. However, there is no need to despair! We are ready to help you avoid the 7 most common mistakes that many beginners make.

1. Wrong motivation

Many people start a career in the beauty industry thinking it's a lucrative endeavour. But the main motivation should come from within! The most important thing is a genuine love for what you do. It is what will help you develop, avoid burnout and achieve the highest level of excellence.

True motivation arises when you realise that you are striving to change your life, assess your capabilities and are ready to work with people to bring them beauty. Objectively evaluating your results and striving for continuous improvement are key factors in achieving success and satisfaction in your work.

2. YouTube Training

1. Quality manicure training requires an investment. Free courses cannot provide the level of training and skills you need.

2. YouTube tutorials do not provide structured knowledge, which can lead to mistakes in technique. You won't be able to identify and correct your mistakes, potentially hurting future clients.

Choose your school and instructor carefully. Find out what certificate or document you will receive upon completion of the course and read testimonials from former students.

3. Unpaid work

Never devalue your work, no matter what stage of development you are in. Even your best friends have to pay for consumables.

Every step in your work should have a value. The client will only value what they have paid for. Don't do gift designs.

After all, you have invested in training to master the art of making these designs.

4. Working ‘just for the sake of it.’

Clients notice immediately if the work is done mechanically and without interest. This approach can lead to them not coming back. However, if you show attention and passion in your work, each satisfied client will become your ally and recommend you to at least two new clients. Your passion and professionalism will build a great reputation and attract new clents.

5. Afraid to raise your prices

Prices for your services should rise in proportion to the level of sophistication. Those who find it expensive can leave. But they will make room for those who are willing to invest in quality.

6. Working as an ‘energy vampire’

Avoid interacting with clients who cause conflicts and negative emotions. Try to work with those who bring positivity and do not drain your energy and mental strength.

7. The customer is always right

You cannot put up with constant 30-minute delays as it negatively affects your time and that of other customers. Understanding is possible in exceptional cases, but regular delays become a problem.

We have compiled a list of the top 7 mistakes that beginner handymen often make. Continuous professional development and practice are the best allies for professionals, especially in the beauty industry. These mistakes can significantly affect the quality of work and reputation, so it is important to know and avoid them.
