Britt’s Nail Bar

Do you have discomfort from severely curved big toenails? I’ve got you!!!

Onyfix will be available starting in October. It’s a painless correction system that gently lifts and reshapes the nail as it grows. It works for mild cases like this one all the way up to much more severe ones. You can book it as a standalone service or pair it with a pedicure. A consultation is required, so reach out to get on the list!

Comment “fix my toe“ to get on the waitlist!

If you think working New York Fashion Week is glamorous, I have bad news for you 😂

I’ve been doing NYFW shows for almost 10 years, and most of it is hours of chaos wrapped in designer clothing.

It’s sitting on the floor doing the fastest pedicure of your life while hair and makeup work on the same model. It’s hoping you brought enough polish when the stylist changes their mind at the 11th hour. It’s stressing until suddenly every model is done.

And there are very different ways to “work Fashion Week.”

You might be hired by a key nail artist and paid a set rate.

You might be the key artist, which means designing the looks, prepping everything, managing the team, and paying your artists from the total budget.

You might sponsor a smaller designer who doesn’t have a beauty budget. That can mean working unpaid AND supplying your own products. I have zero judgment toward artists who do this early in their careers to build a portfolio, as long as everyone involved knows it’s unpaid.

And then there are companies that actually charge YOU to participate because working NYFW sounds prestigious.

Please do not confuse paying for access with being hired.

Have you ever been approached with one of those “pay to work Fashion Week” opportunities?

Not all money is good money. Say it with me, because someone needs to hear it today.

The client who shows up late every single time and acts shocked when it throws off your whole day? Not good money.
The one who cancels last minute and expects you to just eat it? Not good money.
The one who trauma dumps on you session after session, even after you’ve gently asked to keep it light that day? Not good money either.

Here’s the thing nobody tells you when you’re starting out: you can be a good tech and still say no. You can love this industry and still protect your table. A full book means nothing if it’s draining you dry.

Charge your prices. Hold your boundaries. And if a client can’t respect either one, that’s information, not an inconvenience.

Your chair, your rules. Every single time.
