05.08.2024

• What inspired you to become a professional in the manicure and pedicure world?

- In the beginning, I did my own manicure by myself and it gave me great pleasure. I am a perfectionist and I care a lot about the details and the perfect manicure and pedicure. The reactions of friends and acquaintances and their desire to have a manicure like mine motivated me to get the necessary qualifications and do it professionally. The love for painting and the possibilities of being able to apply it as an accent on the manicure and so that it becomes not just a coating with color, but an individual and unique expression of art was the deciding factor.

• What is the biggest challenge you have faced in your professional journey?

- Every day is a challenge, but perhaps the biggest one is my participation in the international Nailpro competition and more specifically the artistic nomination, in which my daughter was my model and I had to prepare her overall look. Then I wanted to be a winner not only for myself. I wanted to give her a personal example and show her that nothing is impossible, that when you work with desire, effort, perseverance and heart, success is guaranteed - and I succeeded - I won the title of "Top Master" in the artistic category Nailpro 2023 Bulgaria.

• What do you enjoy most about your job?

- In my activity, as a teacher, my greatest satisfaction is to see the results of my students, their development and growth in professional terms, as well as their successes. When working with clients, real pleasure and satisfaction is their smiles and reactions after the procedure is over.

• What advice would you give to young professionals who want to succeed in this field?

- To be ambitious, persistent and persistent! To keep improving their knowledge and skills and put love and heart into what they do - then success will be guaranteed!

• What are the manicure/pedicure trends you've been running into lately?

- Customers are becoming more and more demanding! They want cleaner lines and insist on an impeccably shaped and precise manicure. Naturally, glitter, built-in designs, unconventional color combinations and ART performances continue to be among the most desired.
