From Lost to Confident: Kayleigh’s Journey to Becoming a Nail Technician.pdf
Kayleigh, a 21-year-old aspiring beauty professional, always had a passion for nail art. Her journey began when she discovered her love for beauty while doing her family’s nails for her sister’s wedding. However, the COVID-19 pandemic derailed her plans, leaving her feeling stuck and unmotivated about pursuing her dreams.
Encouraged by her parents, Kayleigh joined DurhamWorks, where she attended her first session with a dedicated coach. Initially nervous and anxious about meeting new people, she quickly felt supported and listened to by the friendly staff. Through social activities and one-on-one sessions, Kayleigh gradually built her confidence, which helped her step outside her comfort zone.
DurhamWorks provided her with essential skills, including CV writing, completing application forms, and improving time management and teamwork. With their support, Kayleigh was able to focus on her goals and secure a position as a trainee nail technician at a local salon.
Today, Kayleigh works part-time in her dream role, confidently interacting with clients and colleagues daily. She reflects on her transformation and newfound independence, feeling like a completely different person and rediscovering her sense of self.
