Emily Salero, an Isle of Wight-based nail technician and beauty therapist, has been announced as a regional winner in the Nail Tech of the Year category of the UK Hair and Beauty Awards 2023.
19-year-old Emily has been trading in the beauty industry for almost 2 years, studying at the Isle of Wight College before travelling to London to learn lash lifts from Nouveau Lashes, and HD Brows for brow sculpting.
As well as working in a salon, she also works for Mountbatten Hospice.
At last Friday’s awards ceremony, Emily scooped the regional prize but will now go to Liverpool in October where she has been shortlisted for the national ‘Best New Nails’ category.
Well done must of been alot of hard work. It’s great to hear someone young doing something good
Wayne, yes, an awesome amount of ‘hard work’, holding that tiny brush and dipping it in a teeny bottle of coloured varnish, I don’t know how she manage.
As for gluing on fake jewels and applying transfers, well, it is almost a miracle, likely head hunted by Sir Alan Sugar soon.
A fine achievement for Emily but my issue is many of those paying for nail jobs are so called‘single muvvers’ using their tax credits and subsidised rent and council taxes to pay for these ‘essential’ YET then plead poverty and claim thousands extra for food heating etc.
If they did a days real work they would be unable to have their pathetic mini celeb gilding on what is often a shallow, state funded charity life.
Mark, can I ask how you know that single mums are using their support money to get their nails done?
Yes, I know someone very well who works in such an establishment, and IF you need more visible proof, check out those who frequent such places. Many are tax credit funded mothers, who claim poverty, yet waste state paid aid on tat such as this.
Why would I bother to comment IF I didn’t know?
Me thinks many doth protest too loudly.
It’s “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”
Note that methinks is one word.
If you are going to quote Shakespeare, at least try to get the quote, and the spelling, correct.
If you knew the context in which it is said (in Hamlet) you would realise it applies more to your fiction than to Tim’s comment.
Bill Shakespeare in those days never owned a spell checker, so naturally it is ‘He whom hath madeth an unpardonable error, not I, Sir.
That is an incredible leap to make from this article, are you ok?
Get some help.
Mark “thick as a brick” Bakewell. All of your comments are just drivel.
Well done you and everyone at the collage working hard and showing the kids are ok. 🙂
Bakewell is right.
One minute they are in the nail bar or spray booth, coming out orange, next up the food bank, choosing something they can microwave for the kids, so as not to damage their work shy hands and nails. Chavs who have had a kid are a world away from real Mothers.
Well done girl! Only 18. Big achievement, onwards and upwards!
