Hi Michelle, I think Washington state is kinda tough, good nail techs are hard to find, and good places for nail techs work are equally hard. Salon owners are very into the whole natural and organic thing, so finding a salon that allows extensions can be tricky, but most will let you do gel if you give them a demo. Tacoma gives you a bit of a double whammy, you will find the highest concentration of high end salons in Seattle and Bellevue, but that drive for you from Tacoma would be horrible - don't do it. You aren't likely to find somewhere that wants to rent just two days a week unless they are desperately looking for a tech, or their nail tech doesn't rent those two days. Try looking for a hotel or resort (I'll look more later, I have to take the kid to the doc). They will probably bring you in on a commission basis. You aren't likely to be able to do sculptured acrylic because of the odor in most places around here these days but you can talk them into gel typically - most don't realize how great it looks and that it is completely odor free.
Send me an email and I'll see if I can help you find something. :) -Jess On Dec 1, 6:43 pm, Michelle Cordes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi folks. This is silly... I live in Bremerton, WA.
