Hello, Ja'lacia !
It's awesome that you are out there starting to go on interviews for nail salon jobs ! I would like to give you some advice that may shed some light on your specific employment question. I will provide the reality check first to get that out of the way and then share a story of my own as to illustrate how things can be with employment ventures.
No one knows if they "got the job" unless they are offered the job on the spot at the interview. It's always a matter of going for the interview and waiting to hear back, however, in the meantime one must flood the market with applications and in your case, all the nail salons in your town. Don't rely on just one place. Increase your chances by applying to many prospective employers.
A crucial element for your specific field of work is that you would need to have the necessary experience and certifications that would qualify you. Other applicants may have certain education, training, certifications and experience, so see if you can obtain all that is necessary and explore various certifications such as The BARBICIDE® Certification with certifies you in infection control and disinfection for salon workers. There is also Infection Control Certification program launched by Milady, a part of Cengage. Make sure that you have also completed state specific requirements and training. Being certified in first aid can also boost your resume. You will be expected to have completed a state-approved training program, passing a written and practical examination, and obtaining a license from the state's regulatory board, so if you have already done that, you're in the forefront for nail tech work.
When it comes to job interviews, one way you can get an idea about when you'll hear back is to ask the interviewer when is the target date for when they want to hire someone. You may get a definite answer or may not get an idea, but it is worth asking. That way, you'd know how long it might take to hear back from them.
I had an interview for an Acting job a few years ago which went excellently. I wasn't hearing back from them and felt myself resigning that I wouldn't be hired. Two and a half months later, they contacted me and hired me ! Two and a half months later. It turned out that there were staff changes and the person who interviewed me left and a new staff stepped in and called me, hired me before I went for a second screening with him. At the second screening, he gave me the schedule - I was hired. So you see, you cannot predict what will happen after an interview. My philosophy has always been give it your best and apply to other places, too. Never rely or dwell on one employer. This will seem easier for you as time goes on.
So my advice is to make sure you are completely qualified for every job you apply to, apply to more than one employer, and try not to think about hearing back from them too much. You will get the position that is right for you and that is meant to be.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best ! Don't give up !

Hi Ja'lacia,
I'm not sure I understand your question. In general, nail technicians need to go to cosmetology school and study the Health and Care of nails and proper application of the products used in Nail Care. After you go to school, you can apply for your cosmetology license and you can then apply to jobs in that field or you can start your own nail care business.

I'm not clear if you mean an interview or using a booking site. Either way, having a date and time on your calendar is a good sign, especially if a deposit has been paid.
If you’re waiting for an update after a follow-up, keep in mind they may be busy with other candidates. Wait about seven to fourteen days, then call to ask if the position has been filled. If they were interested, they likely would have called by now.
Also, sending a thank-you note after your interview can help keep you on their radar. Do this within the same week, as it may prompt a response.I'm not sure what you're referring to—whether you had an interview or if you're using a booking site to work independently. However, I always say that the best indicators are a confirmed date and time on the calendar. If you have a scheduled meeting and they've paid a deposit, that serves as confirmation.
If you're waiting to hear back about an interview after already sending a follow-up, keep in mind that they may be responding to a lot of applicants. The best course of action is to call and ask if the position has been filled. It's recommended to wait about seven to fourteen days before doing so, as those are standard timelines for responses. If they were really interested in you, they would likely have called by then.
Also, a good way to ensure you stay on their radar is to send a thank-you message after your interview. This can subtly remind them of your candidacy. Consider sending that note within the same week, as sometimes it prompts them to give you an update

Good Day Ja'lacia!
If they want to increment their income, then they shall contact you! If they want to be complacent and stay right where they are, then let them do just that! Meanwhile you learn online about the use of the nutrients in cosmetology and hair nail, and skin care.
Use PubMed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
These days an employer that wants you shall contact you by Email, Internet, iOS, or Smartphone, or Text. If there is silence for 2 weeks, write it off. If they they leave your radar screen it is not your concern anymore!
