What employers look forFrom the Nail Technician guide
Captains and spa managers hire people with a recognised qualification and solid salon experience, ideally in a hotel spa or high-end salon. Guests on these yachts are used to the best salons in London, Paris and New York, so your finish has to be just as good. Being calm and discreet matters as much as technique. A second skill such as massage, lashes, brows or hair makes you far easier to place.
