Rachel Bernstein
Junior Nail Technician
Working at Indulgence is one of Rachel's
three jobs that help her pamper her baby bird who is turned 3 in April.
Rachel also calls herself a big movie person - especially sci-fi and horror
movies.
Approach to Service:
Rachel likes to create a relaxing, enjoyable and fun experience for her clients: "It should be happy, light and fun." She is also particular about the shape of nails and caring for her client's cuticles: "Without nice looking cuticles, your nails just don't look good." When picking out polish, Rachel pays attention to her client's skin tones and, of course, matches their style.
Work Experience:
Rachel will have been with us at Indulgence for two years as of this summer. She says that a fun part of her job is that each day she learns more.
Specialties and Strengths of Her Service:
Rachel prefers doing natural nails than acrylic work, but stresses that when she does acrylics she only hand files: "Many clients dislike when you use a drill, and I agree - the only time I would use a drill is to take down the length of a nail - everything else in hand filed."
Another strength of Rachel's is her spa-pedicure: "I make sure to carry top-of-the line creams and scrubs for my spa-pedicure." She also does mini-pedicures and regular-pedicures.
Rachel likes the idea of keeping dedicated supplies for her clients: "I'd like to create a system where each client gets their own files and supplies and each time they come in they are waiting there for them: it reduces waste and promotes hygiene - it's also personal."
Availability:
Rachel's schedule varies somewhat, but she is generally available:
Tuesdays 10am to 4pm; Wednesdays 11am to 6pm; Thursdays 11am to 6pm; Fridays 10am to 4pm; Saturday 9am to 4pm
Parting Words:
"For the younger population I have fun, crazy colors that we can try out and put together in creative ways. "
