With new nail designs spiraling all over the Internet, many clients are eager to find a nail technician that is capable of doing these extravagant designs. Many individuals are taking advantage of owning a small business now in this time of high demand for beauty necessity. Junior Kiara Plancarte is one of these students at Selma High School who has taken the ignition to start her own nail business. Kiara has been doing acrylic nails for two years. Her designs vary from French tip to sparkly crystal custom designs that any client could request. Like most nail technicians, Kiara keeps a reasonable price range, depending on the length that the client wishes upon.
“The prices just vary because of the length, so it just depends on how long they want them,” expressed Plancarte.
With every client, Kiara hopes to bring a comforting and welcome presence at every appointment making her appointments feel like a therapy season. As the clients get their nails done, they speak upon anything, however whatever is said in the appointment stays in the appointment.
“My appointments are often like a therapy session. I want to create a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable in,” explained Kiara.
Kiara expresses that her motivation to start this new business was to showcase her creativity in a unique way. Mesmerized by the unique art creations that people came up with, she just wanted to take a leap into this opportunity. She took the initiative to self teach herself at first before getting into areas of perfecting.
“I started doing nails to express my creativity in a way, seeing all of these cute designs inspired me to create my own,” explained Plantcarte.
However she explains that it’s not just about trying a new skill but also being able to expand on her interactions and meeting new people. With every client, she enjoys creating bonds with everyone.
“My favorite part of all of this is being able to meet new people and creating new bonds,” explained Plantcarte
Although nails don’t seem like a big difficult concept, it takes dedication and perseverance to perfect the small details of each nail. Kiara expressed that although it can be relaxing at times, she does need to focus deeply to perfect each nail to satisfy the client as they are the ones paying for her service.
“I’m a perfectionist so I want the client to receive what they are requesting. It does take a while but It is worth it seeing their satisfaction,” said Plantcarte.
