Welcome to NAILPRO's NAILED DOWN where we “nail down” the details of selected nail design artists from our User Galleries.
This week we visit Brantford, Ontario Canada
Meet Leeann Martin:
Where do you work?
I am the owner of Upscale Nail.
How would you describe yourself?
Outgoing, creative and down to earth.
Tell us about how you got started in the nail industry.
I started by taking a co-op through high school and loved it so much I went on to school at Gina's School of Aesthetics where I received my dipolma. After graduating, I took many nail courses and received my Masters from CND.
What/Who inspires your work?
Magazines, art and anything unique.
Are there any tool(s) you can't live without?
Dotter tools and my detail brush.
Do you have a favorite technique or style?
I love to customize nails by using CND Additives.
What tip can you offer to other nail technicians?
Practice! And try to practice techniques before you actually have a client. It’s much better to see if anything could go wrong before your client comes in, instead of when she’s at her appointment.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I think it's very important to meet your clients’ needs and to have a consultation with them before starting any service. This can save you so much time because you can now customize your appointment to meet the lifestyle demands of your client.
