Today we’d like to introduce you to Yori Latiker
Hi Yori, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I began doing nails in my dorm at Tennessee State University in 2017, I was honestly looking for a way to earn money without having to leave my dorm as a freshman in college. It started as me doing my own nails and then word spread on my hall and throughout the campus. I also used to do pedicures on family members when I was younger and practice designs on their toes. Nails was the first hobby I wroked hard in to better understand the craft. I took my first class in 2018 and invested in my craft and the rest was history.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I would not say it has been a smooth path, however, anything worth having is worth fighting for. In this industry, you have to practice professionalism and excellent customer service skills and always stay educated in your field. I will say it is my passion so I accept all of the highs and lows that come with this profession.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Nails by Xené?
