Today we’d like to introduce you to Abigail Camacho.
Hi Abigail, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’ve been a nail tech for 7 years, started in other salons and decided i didn’t fit in anywhere and made my own comfy space! I was sick of driving north for my nail supplies since there are none south so i made one!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It came with many challenges, one salon i was in they didn’t like me very much and that was a test to my confidence. being put down by peers was hard but i persevered and i was pushed even further by that. I became better than the other nail techs that doubted me and i gained a following. eventually i got a salon suite while i built my salon and the space i got into was super run down and the landlord didn’t help fix anything. the plumbing, the ac, all the way to just the walls getting re drywalled. it took blood sweat and tears but me and my husband made it happen. We spent the night in the salon a few nights lol.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Nail Junkie?
