Session nail tech, Nickie Rhodes Hill, has launched Nailmania planners, to help nail professionals set goals and plan their business, with pages for every task a nail tech needs to organise. Scratch finds out more…
“The idea of planners, journals and appointment books came about from a chat I had with some other nail professionals not so long ago,” reveals Nickie.
“We were talking about online booking systems vs physical planners and appointment books. Some said that they loved online booking systems but also liked the idea of a physical planner for goal-setting for small businesses in the industry. The conversation went on to self-care journals for solopreneur salon owners, mobile nail stylists. and home salon owners (nails, beauty, lashes etc).
“Having been a small salon owner and now a mobile nail stylist/session manicurist for the past 20 years, I remember writing my thoughts and ideas down in a notebook when I had quiet periods at the salon. I actually came across these brainstorming notebooks when I was recently sorting some stuff out and it caused a lightbulb moment to launch the planners.”
The planners are aimed at salon owners, nail stylists, mobile nail technicians, home salon owners as well as beauticians.
The planners have the following internal pages:
