    'Tis the Slow season

    In this episode, we're going to talk about how to keep an income during the slow season. In the transition from summer to fall, many nail techs face a seasonal slowdown. But don't be discouraged! The slow season is a yearly occurrence, and with time, it gets better. Even experienced nail techs like me go through it. Clients have their own lives and responsibilities. So, remember, slow seasons happen to all of us, and you'll survive.
