5 podcasts for nail techs
Working as a solo nail tech can be a lonely experience with no salon peers to talk to or troubleshoot with. This is one of the reasons that Clawgasmic founder Chantelle Vermont started a podcast - to provide the support of the nail community to all nail techs, no matter where they are or where they work.
Check out this list of five podcasts for nail techs that provide advice on everything from setting your prices to nail contraindications with lots of laughs and honesty from phenomenal nail techs all around the globe.

Confessions of a Nail Tech
Hosted by nail tech Rasheedah H. Muhammad, affectionately known as ‘Rah,’ Confessions of a Nail Tech covers nail business news, advice for those in the industry and lets you into her life and musings as a nail tech. Plus, seeing as Rah is US-based you get a window into life as a nail tech across the pond. We really enjoyed her recent episode on robotic manicures where she discussed how automation could affect the nail industry.

Clippings
Clippings is the official podcast of the Council for Nail Disorders in the US where Dr April Schachtel and Dr Katherine Stiff take a deep dive on all things nail disease. The podcast episodes are usually no longer than 15 minutes long and provide super technical bite-sized information on how different illnesses can affect the nails as the two go through and review medical papers. The fascinating episode on Covid-19 related nail changes collated all of the research on this topic.
