It doesn't matter if it's an A-list, D-List celebrity, or a working class citizen. As a nail tech we still in this day and age feel a sense of being undervalued, second-class, or expendable. Especially if you work at a Full Service Salon where the emphasis is on hair and you are tucked away in a corner somewhere. We have always been the step children of the industry, its in progression..its changing, we are getting recognized by the mainstream, but there are still hurdles to the hustle. Traveling techs need to charge a fee...period. "You charge what..???? For some nails". Yes, yes...we do, but what are you getting with those "nails"? Think about the tech...the education, the quality...nails that last beyond the norm, the time in the industry, the distance and convenience of the tech coming to provide a service...all that needs to be considered. It's not like we (well, most) just blurt out a number off the top of our heads just because. Its caluculated to cover the cost of doing buisness. To pack all this stuff up and come to where ever the client needs you is a task in itself, especially in L.A. Our product cost, Our TIME, our LABOR is not respected at all, but needs to be accounted for. If a client can go somewhere or have someone come to them that's cheaper and they are happy with the service they provided, by all means do whats best. We respect that decision, but also respect the tech with the higher price as well....just like you do when you pay for anything designer, same concept. A simple thank you for your time & responding and leave it at that...it is what it is...DON'T NEGOTIATE...DON'T HAGGLE...DON'T BELITTLE....PERIOD!!! 😠😠😠😠😠😡😧💅🏿💅🏾💅🏽💅🏼💅🏻👀 ♠️ #lanailtech #nailslay #calinails #lanails #losangelesnails #nailfashion #fashionblogger #hairandnailfashion #iknowmyrights #blacknailtech #nailartcult #theshaderoom #nailstyle #nailsdone #celebritynails #nailenvy #periodt #whytho # #nailstagram #prettynails #nailedit🎯 #crystalnails #freelancenails #rihanna #nailfashion #naildesigns #workhardstayhumble (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4npBs9AEu9/?igshid=jn67jo71ooyo
