I'm an artist/ graphic designer but I still watched the entire video because it was so organized and lovely. The gift bag is such a nice idea. I'd love more info or a video on the marketing part of your buisness because the differences between the videos for ig and TikTok seemed very subtle.

[@camillegrunenberger1607]

You seem so mature and grounded, you're really inspiring me who's already 26 and thinking about opening my own business. Thank you for this in depth video 🧡

[@jimthechaosbunny]

I just want to say I'm been working in customer service one way or another for decades, and that attitude of welcoming your clients with generosity is one I've seen only in the best and most successful brands. You may only be in your teens still, but I think that's going to take you a long way! Genuinely inspiring!

[@londonlangwald6703]

What brand of gel polish do you use?

[@thandiedube7479]

❤❤❤❤❤ thanks

[@user-yx3rq1lu3j]

Did you took any training about how to do nails? Or self taught ?

[@NeoTrixNails]

Love this detailed video! More power to you! 💗🫶🏻

[@nailsbysion]

thank you 🥲🤗

[@StephanieZou]

also.. do you only use natural nail extensions if clients want gelx? or do you also have sculpted version from apres?

[@nailsbysion]

hii, i only do extensions or natural nail, if someone wants to extend one or two of their natural nails i use poly gel :) but to sculpt the nail i use builder gel.

[@emilyg.8457]

@@nailsbysionoh she’s talking about the shape of the gel x. sculpted is for people with more rounded nail beds and natural is for people with flatter nail beds. apres sells both natural and sculpted

[@nailsbysion]

@@emilyg.8457 thank you for the clarification! i use natural - stilleto - medium.

[@Brookeluvsliafr]

SINCE 14 OMG

[@aboudhd]

I just saw your amazon storefront... do i need to buy all the things you've listed? It came up to around 233$ is it the right amount for the products to start working?

[@nailsbysion]

well this is just the products itself, you still need to think abt the setup and other utilities 🫶🏻

[@AnimeGamergirli]

What are the sticks you have with the lint free wipes??

[@nailsbysion]

idk what they’re called but they’re linked on my amazon storefront 😭

[@luluqays9243]

What kinda of camera and mic are you using plssssssss

[@nailsbysion]

i use my iphone 14 pro max and just a regular mic from amazon 🫶🏻

[@Sodamncoocoo]

Girl you are so gorgeous and talented I wanna be you 🤩🤩🥹🩷🩷

[@tyralamptey1901]

Did you learn doing nails yourself or went to school for it ?

[@nailsbysion]

mostly self taught 🫶🏻

[@sittingaloneinvip]

did you have to get any kind of licensing to be able to do this in tokyo?

[@sittingaloneinvip]

as soon as i commented this you said you're not gonna get into that topic lmao

[@boogerfaceyes1697]

Aren't you supposed to have a nail license to be getting paid for doing nails and using tools?

[@KrakPineAiChannel]

You are looking like 25 year old
