International Women’s Day with the Nail Tech Org

Happy International Women’s Day!

Here at the Nail Tech Org, we’re taking this day (and all year for that matter) to celebrate all the smart, talented, ambitious, and strong women that are a part of the Nail Tech Org!

From fully-involved members, our incredible team, guest speakers and silent instagram likers, we appreciate and are thankful for every single one of you! 

This is the month to feel empowered, inspired, and be the hype woman you wish you had. It’s all about being a cheerleader for yourself and embracing all women. 

To celebrate this iconic month, we’ve been chatting to our very own founder, Amy Guy, to find out what International Women’s Day means to her, when she feels the most empowered, and her biggest inspirations…

What has been your proudest achievement with the NTO?

Over the last 3 years there has been so many highs, the day we launched, our UK event productions, international retreats.

But right now we’re in the middle of our very first campaign for fair pricing in the nail industry, and we’ve had thousands of nail techs join us in correctly calculating their prices so that we can solve the problem of undercharging across the industry.

I genuinely believe 2024 is the year nail techs will change the trajectory of pricing in the industry, and to me, it really doesn’t get much better than that.

What female figures inspire you?

Our members, the NTO team, my mum & my aunty.

What did you want to be when you were a little girl?

An actress!

Fun fact – when I was 7, I wrote into coronation street asking to be Sally Websters bridesmaid, lol!

What are the three traits you think all leaders should have?

Resilience, adaptability & humility.

Give us one piece of advice that has stuck with you throughout your whole journey

I think the best thing I ever learned was to invest in myself.

Business is personal, and if you’re the business owner or the CEO, a lot of the time your business will be a reflection of you, your values, your strengths, but also your insecurities or fears.

I’ve worked just as hard on myself as I have on the business over the years, and its 100% impacted what I’ve been able to build professionally.

What advice would you give women looking to own their own business?

If there is something you’re passionate about, an idea you have that solves a problem or that you can’t stop thinking about, then you owe it to yourself to see what happens if you go for it!!

You have to want it, you have to be willing to do the work and you have to be relentlessly optimistic, even during the toughest times.

Running your own business is certainly not an easy ride but it comes with a sense of meaning and fulfilment that makes every single second worth it.

How will you be spending this International Women’s Day?

I’m excited to be attending a networking event for women in business in Liverpool!

Community, to me, is so important and I love to meet new people, so I can’t wait!
