Hey Suzie! Can you do a video on the cleaning/sterilizing processes for the nail tools, drill bits, etc.?

[@azlibra7178]

Steps taught in beauty school: wash all washable implements in hot soapy water, soak in a germicide for 20 mins, allow to air dry & store in a air tight container with a fumigant. Never use the same implement on a different client without going through the sanitation/sterilization process!

[@ShalayKyles]

Alcohol. You wipe it with alcohol and/or spray off your drill bits and files.

[@sushles]

I do my own nails at home and I don't do fills. I always start from scratch so I can learn the while process better. At the moment I'm wearing my 4th set and I feel like it already looks really good. I always get compliments in school and when they ask where I get them done and I say I do them myself, they're always shocked. I do my nails with polygel because it's easy to work with for beginners. I use tips but once u get better I'll start using forms. I always watch your videos to learn what's important! Thanks Suzie you're really helping me!

Learning to do in-fills will be really valuable, as its actually advised these days to soak off no more than twice per year, so you definitely could do with cutting down on removals

I've tried about 8 different salons. They've made my cuticles bleed, had poor hygiene, i've had lifting the day after, whole polishes have completely popped off, i've had HAIR, bubbles, grit, all sorts of ugly things happening in the polish. So im taking matters into my own hands! :)

Good lord, finding a nail tech like you where I live is LITERALLY impossible. If I could afford it, I'd fly straight to Canada just to get my nails done. All the nail salons where I live are very low grade, and typical salons ran by people who just don't have much skill. Yet, they own a salon anyways. They are only capable of the VERY basics. How in the world do I find a "real" nail tech?! I just want good nails :( And how do I find a nail tech that knows how to use nail forms?! Ahh!

[@rooniqueboutiquenails2192]

Where do you live? X

[@user-bc4rn1jw7e]

Just personal experience try find a one person or two person salon. If it's just one person they are likely to be a professional and will hold a license. They do tend to be more costly since it's a small salon and theres a lot of investment, but they seem to be best

[@honeyd9273]

@@user-bc4rn1jw7e .... I agreed. Some of the more experienced tech do cost a bit more. Question is, will people pay that extra ??? Hmmmm mostly don't... I know Suzie salon is not your typical Asain salon so it will cost slightly more. I am willing to pay 💞😀

[@kadejordyn1456]

What part of Canada? I live in Michigan near the border, I have passport and I will visit! 😂

[@krissa5532]

Try finding a high end salon or a privately owned nail business which is just a one person business. It usually will cost more but it'll be worth it. My mom was a nail tech like Suzie and she worked in high end privately owned salons. But she could charge 45-55$ for a full set.

Hi Suzie my name is Katrina and I love love doing nails just by watching your videos I got a lot better

[@GinnyE25]

Suzie, can you do a series on natural nails? I know you did a video on them, but I was just wondering if you could make some more in depth videos... examples... Do's and don'ts of natural nails, nail care, tools you can and cannot use to manicure natural nails (glass/ crystal file (what you think about it/ them), e-file, buffer, etc.), how to prevent breakage of natural nails, how to keep short/ shorter nails clean underneath, etc. I think this would be a great series. :-) I'd love to watch it. I'm a natural nail girl (although I do love watching any videos you make/ film) who likes to wear her nails natural. However, I wish mine wouldn't break when they get semi-long (sort of medium length). Anyway, a natural nail series would be great. Thanks in advance. Love you, Suzie.

Can you do a video focusing on nails that has oily nail beds?? I’ve been told by several nail techs that I have this issue. My nails just start lifting the day after, and by the next fill, my nails have all separated from the back as well. So video request for oily nail beds and nails that separate from the back😉🙋🏻‍♀️

[@lauram5906]

@x0desertrose0x yes. This. I'm a tech with oily beds. If I'm doing them I'll dehydrate every nail immediately before I start laying product, and use 2 coats of primer. I've also found using hard gel on oily nails works so so much better than acrylic. I can't give you the chemistry behind it because I don't know why it works better, it just does. Try getting hard gels, as they might work better for you. Get them done at a reputable place, and let your tech know ahead of time that you have oily nail plates. Hope that helps!

I find that using polygel and poppits are so much easier! (I’m a nail tech, but became ill a year after qualification. I didn’t do my own nails for over a year due my unexpected and chronic illness as I kept messing it up. My hands shake, seize up, and hurt very quickly. So the polygel and poppits are great! I’m almost back to normal doing my nails depending on my symptoms at the time 🤷🏻‍♀️ I prep as normal, then dehydrate, double prime (don’t forget some primers won’t ‘air dry’ and require curing 🤦🏻‍♀️ but although I’ve only recently found this out, I used to cure the primer when it didn’t air dry anyway. I’ve not needed to prime for a good while now. I don’t know why but just the buffing and dehydrator works great for me now. I’ve found a great brand that I and my clients love and decent prices too ‘Bluesky’. Love!

[@cassidysoller]

I was getting my nails done by a small salon in my area & then ended up moving about 45 min away & met this girl who did nails from her home, she used EMA & explained she wouldn’t work on anyone else’s work so the soak off process was horrendous from the MMA products that were used on my nails previously. I’ll never go back to that salon again lmao I don’t think working over anyone else’s work is anything but the fact that the person doesn’t know what kind of product was used before.

[@lpcookie1]

Oh my goodness! Salons are still using MMA? I thought that stuff was illegal?

[@cassidysoller]

Lisa C a lottttt of salons use mma just because it’s waaaay cheaper than using legal products! I was happy to pay more $$$ for the legal products & better looking nails lol as I’m sure a lot of other people would be happy to also!

[@atinyaes4418]

if its not too much trouble, would you mind explaining what EMA and MMA are :^((??

[@cassidysoller]

DEMI 0619 of course! MMA originated in the dental industry & was used for making crowns& bridges! It’s also used as bone cement in orthopedic surgeries. MMA isn’t meant to come into contact with skin or nails. MMA is also solvent resistant so it takes FOREVER to get off. If you soak off it’ll become gummmy. Whereas ema products will flake off the nail bed easily. MMA is illegal & cheap so most nail salons will use it. My nail tech would shell out the $$ for ema legal products & raise prices & I was happpy to pay more for that kind of care 😁😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 stay woke!

[@lpcookie1]

Cheap MMA nails aren't worth getting if it means u have no nails, bc your real nail came off with the acrylic due to banging your finger on something. I've heard of that happening more than once. Ouch!

Great tutorial today, thank you x

[@NailCareerEducation]

That’s a good question I knew they were gel because they were bright, if it was blood it would’ve been dried by that point and it would’ve been much darker in color. As I filed more I could tell that it was gel polish. And honestly in my whole career of 32 years if someone had blood on their nail it never looked like that or in that pattern.

Just remember not all nail technicians are created equal. It’s hard for nail technicians when a client is requesting something possibly beyond their own skills, first of all they are in barest and they don’t know how to handle it sometimes.

So not only was my time wasted, so was my money. Luckily I was able to salvage mine long enough to go to my event.

As someone who does their own nails at home, your videos are more valuable than any salon!! Thank you so much for investing in teaching us how do things the right way.

[@GoshGlammit]

The sound of filling is so satisfying lol Such a great video. Great tips!

[@karenkuykendall6461]

Doesn’t acetone remove acrylic? Wouldn’t the nail be softer if you use acetone?

[@dragontree88]

Have used acetone to remove my acrylic nails you have to really soak it just a quick wipe like that won't do anything except for maybe and really clean and dry it out

[@maryaviles3875]

When I remove my acrylics, it takes about half an hour to soak them off! A quick wipe won’t cause any damage!

[@NailCareerEducation]

No, only if its soaked for any length of time

[@cherrylacrosse8825]

Suzie, not only are you an exceptional teacher, you are so encouraging and positive in your videos! I truly wish I could attend your training in person. Thanks for your videos!

[@LolzAtDaWorld]

Thank you Suzie, for such a great video! I have been a certified nail tech under a year. I have only work on my mother's and my own nails, as I feel I need to build on my confidence and my skills before taking on clients. Your explanation is spot on and easy to understand! looking forward to seeing the next video!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Awesome feedback for me

[@b_orca]

love this!!! would love to take a class with you one day but sadly its too expensive to travel for me :( thank you for the great videos suzie!!

[@justbumblebee1]

💥 ATTENTION 💥 This is not a asmr, calming video. It is a video that will give you chills due to dentist like sounds 😂

[@lauracarrier6158]

I like the noise of the e drill way more than the sound of someone manually filling their nails.

[@ekunina5410]

I agree. Cringe. Teeth Grit. Expected Pain. When? Now!? No NOW! OUCH! As I yank my hand away.... (Former EFDA dental assistant!)

[@QueenVic67]

Thanks so much for this video hun! I’ve been waiting for you to do this as I’m self taught & have done my own nails for 14yrs & have a problem sometimes with lifting! I’m also in need of a fill right now, so this has helped me immensely!! Thank you Susie!! Hugs, Vick-Angel xxx

Love this! Thank you!!

[@rickyrubio115]

Hey Susie. So the biggest concern as to why nail techs or cosmetologist don't want to work on other people's work when a client comes in for a rebalance or fill and they rather do a new set is because here in the United States we have a big issue with salons still using MMA acrylic which is illegal and it's very dangerous. Exposure to that being the dust or the monomer used in the set is what nail technician and cosmetologist try to avoid working on or removing because as soon as the skin comes in contact with the dust or inhales it, it is very harmful to one's health. I've contracted contact dermatitis just from the dust alone of MMA acrylic. That's what cheaper salons or customers who don't want to pay a lot of money for a good set and are getting. A set of MMA acrylics instead of cosmetic grade EMA acrylics. also let me remind you this is such a big issue in the states I'm not sure if Canada is the same way or have any Salons that still use MMA over EMA, which I doubt it. So to your defense you think it's pretty odd that a nail tech refuses to do a rebalance, a fill or any type of service on a client with somebody else's work.

[@dawnprebble9068]

I agree Ricky it is the same in the UK, if Tech's do decide to take off someone else's work they usually charge more for it as well. Some cheaper nail bars are still using the MMA acrylic etc. and this is an issue and also illegal. When I was trained it was recommended not to practice taking off another person's work and personally I don't like taking off product I haven't applied for this very reason.

[@ML-zd1uv]

Agree!! I have no idea what Ill be working over and sometimes when I do soak it just does NOT want to come off 😭

[@rickyrubio115]

@@dawnprebble9068 thank you. Maybe Suzie from nail Career Education should do an educational video about EMA and MMA acrylics.

[@lovablenae1]

can I ask how did you get rid of the contact dermatitis? I usually do my own nails but I was moving and all my stuff was packed up and gone... decided to go to a salon and a few days later my eyes started itching... didn't know what was going on. now that I've read this a light bulb went off. did you go to the doctor or did you cure from home and how long did it take to go away? TIA

[@Trixalla]

It seems like doing a new nail feels like you’re an architect, but when you do a fill, you’re an archeologist and an architect!

[@tootsicorn825]

Learned so much in this loved it

[@ashes187]

Awesome video Suzie...learning so much from you!

[@makupfashionbeautys2429]

Suzie please please please do an acrylic tutorial!!!! Because I’m only 14 and I’m starting acrylic nails! I was scrolling a little and I found a tutorial but can you do one that’s very simple and french or ombré ?? Love the nails you do💕

[@dragontree88]

I recommend going way back to her first stuff for the basics. She tries to cover just about everything sometimes twice. For example she has done a video on lifting and a video on filling and she's doing it again.❤

[@hixtorie433]

I’m starting at 14 too

[@hixtorie433]

Sarahbray.1 8 your mom lets you do a acrylic nails lol

[@ekunina5410]

[@coolgirl4593]

Lol the horrible nail salons scarred u

[@lisahume5299]

Same. I've never burnt my self but I have had it happen in cheap ass salons. Hurts like hell. I was also cringing when she kept going over the little red dotts. 😷

[@goofyaemm6516]

lisa hume she has it on a low speed, so it doesn’t hot or burn

[@nikolinarajkov3618]

You are so good! Thank you for all the pieces of advice, I learn so much just by watching one of your videos. Sorry if my English is bad, it's also one of the things I am learning.🤗

[@Julia-ek3fx]

from the time stamps in the beginning of the video to the camera angels, i swear, suzie, your channel is absolutely amazing.

[@5050hawaiianstar]

How is that one nail not hot? The constant filing in the one area for like 5 minutes straight, my nail would burn

[@lisa-fo4ig]

Because the filing wasn't constant. She said that she's not letting the file be on the nail for to long. That's why she was kind of "bouncing"

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yup, exactly. Drill Skills

[@valerie022848]

When you file nails, do you ever accidentally mess up your own nails? 🥴

[@kandkcollins1]

OMG, I could just watch you work on nails alllllll day long! Love you!

[@Oechibell1]

Great video thank you so much for sharing your experience 😊

[@PipsNails]

I personally don’t infill over someone else’s work. Prime example, the other day I had a client who had MMA acrylic on already. I had to soak/file them off and start again. I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting my work on top of a NSS set. It’s like a house, you want a solid foundation to make it secure

[@berdienk633]

Pip’s Nails exactly the reason that I don't do this in my salon either. This way you prevent an unhealthy situation. Most customers do not know which products have been used. We cannot see that on the outside either. That's why it's better to prevent that altogether.

[@flamencomagick3260]

MMA is AWFUL! It’s illegal in the states as a liquid in nail application! MMA is easy to spot! You smell it instantly as it has a sweetness underneath. EMA is allowed though.

[@swizzleproxi4810]

Going by your video fill-ins are very time consuming, I cant see most salons taking as much time and care as you.

[@ladystardust9707]

Keep in mind, these videos are edited, and this isn’t a salon setting. The good nail techs can do this quickly, and they aren’t stopping to explain what they’re doing, because they’re not making a tutorial video. I was blessed to have access to very good nail techs when I was still going to a salon, and fills were normally 50 minutes from start to finish. I do my nails at home these days, since last year’s pandemic.

[@rubyreyes5992]

Always excellent. Thank you Suzzie. You help me so much. I am waiting the next step. 😍😍

[@simonetaylornails1643]

Susie, what is your sign? I would guess a Sagittarius :)

Suzie! I love your videos. I use your videos for everything nails. I did my nails for the first time EVER with Madam Glam Polygel and I didn't have any lifting for a little over a month. all of your prep videos are wonderful
