"I so enjoyed seeing you at the Nail Tech Networking Event. I took your Waterless Pedicure class last year at the Premiere Birmingham while I was still attending Nail Tech School. When I shared with my instructor that I wanted to do only waterless pedicures I was told I would not have a good business and would be alienating so many potential clients. I graduated December 2010 and got my license and have only done waterless pedicures, I have a good clientele and they love not having to soak in an unsanitary tub. I want to thank you for everything and for giving me a sanitary and relaxing way to pamper my clients."
