“This is a timely platform that pushed me to work harder and smarter. I have never thought I could complete (nail) extensions on one hand in 45 minutes! And as I repeatedly explore my favourite style of art, I find myself being able to add more details within the same time frame and achieved an intricate design that won the first prize and a special award!” said Ms See, Grand Champion Award Winner.
“If anything, this competition journey taught me to have courage, give my best effort in everything I do and persevere. I’m truly blessed and thankful for this experience as it has given me more confidence in my work and the realisation that I have the potential to go further. Really looking forward to what lies ahead,” said Ms Goh, 2nd place winner of Best Salon Gel Art (Freestyle) onsite competition.
“Being the pioneer in the nail industry, I'm happy that our ecosystem grew so much in the past 20+ years. From a sparse land with barely any nail salon 20 years ago, we now have salons and home salons in every estate. My lifetime of work in building the industry in my own ways, created a platform for thousands of nailists/technicians to convert their passion to a reputable job role. This is not an automation, but with efforts of those working alongside with me,” said Ms Rachel Tang, Founder of N.A.I.L.S.
