Wow! Good to know that. I left corporate canada after 15 yrs. Divorce followed. I had been learning nails as a hobby for years. Mostly local Gurus in US and Canada. Had a nail bar workshop in my home.
Dad was sick, moved to india to be with them. No nail bars to get a fill. Let's start one. That was a decade ago. Never planned to make it to a national level but I did get down n dirty to achieve it. Sweat equity, $equity and lots of elbow grease. Here I am today, doing what I luv. I'm passionate about education bcoz that's where the success is. Sorry the website hasn't been upgraded for a while www.nailspaindia.com Open invitation to all who want to visit india - someday. Be my guest and enjoy India's rich cultural heritage. The country is great. It exhilarates me, motivates me, has given me many opportunities to dive into organized chaos and come out shining at the other end. Cudn't have done it without my friends, gurus and your contributions. Luv u guys Best GS Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel -----Original Message----- From: chloereed1 <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 08:15:10 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: RE: GS: NailTech:: Natural nail salons?? Hey GS what's your website. Im interested in traveling and doing nails and definitely making more money. Mines is www.glamnailz.com, I want to grow my business in Texas but also become more educated in the nail realm. My corporate job drove me crazy I nearly lost my hair from the stress and tips for getting myself out there? Thanks Chloe Sent from Samsung [email protected] wrote:Thank you for the recognition. It was tough moving base from North America to India but the opportunity exists for those who dare to explore. Its over a billion people so chaos on roads, trains and planes. Having said that, I've enjoyed the process and now the recognition on a national level. Its been completely worth it. I do believe that if you do anything with passion, it never falls short of excellence. One thing is certain - I couldn't have reached this point without my north American gurus, suppliers, friends in the industry who introduced me to valuable resources and I follow the American technology to a T. Its a focused approach that has helped me build this business from ground zero. Nobody wanted nail extensions. It was henna for hair color and mani/pedi for nails but we have flipped the scenario and gels, tips, glitter, mylars, ice mylars, foils, transfers, fimo cane, dazzle and bling are the order of the day. I consider you all as the best in the world and look up to you for trends and technology. You are my greatest source of motivation. God bless. Luv the business. Its not a job, its my life!
