I need help from the ladies....

[lillystar26 11]

A bit of background info.....a few yrs ago I started a acrylic nail course from home. I fell pregnant half way through and because of the fumes etc....I decided not to continue. We are hoping to be in australia by the end of this year and I am thinking of retraining once there.

 

My question is (i know it is a pretty general ask) what is the demand for it over there? I live in stafford, a pretty small town, but everywhere you look there are nail bars/salons etc....so it is very competitive

 

Thanks in advance

Lots of nail bars here in my area of Sydney, almost every shopping mall has one or a few. Most run by Asian girls from what I have seen. I have never been so have no idea of the quality etc but they always seem to have plenty of customers.

Heaps of them here in Melbourne we have two in our local shopping centre, plus all the hairdressers seem to have a nail tech as well. The Asians have huge nail bars with many girls working in them.

There are heaps of places all over the country that do nails however I can't remember the last time I saw anyone with acrylic nails.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I was hoping to do it from home or mobile 1 the children (3 under 5yrs)

 

Freckleface - why not acrylic? What do they use?

 

Thanks again

Not sure about the entire country of course but healthy natural nails (that may or may not be painted) seem to be more in vogue in the circles I travel in.
