Work at your own pace with Urban, the platform looking to transform the wellness industry by offering nail technicians the chance to work where and when they want. The booking app allows techs to set their availability with no maximum or minimum working hours and a setting to select their geographic working areas. Potential clients will then find each tech’s unique profile including bio and customer reviews, allowing the tech to get booked and receive all of the information directly to their phone. Urban aims to provide convenient and affordable access to treatments for busy people in a way that’s fair for the professional by ensuring the platform is convenient, flexible and profitable for them, too.
Urban nail technician, Ramona Manuela Padurean, reveals how partnering with Urban has benefited her career and complemented her lifestyle…
“I joined the beauty industry 13 years ago, a short time after finishing high school. After working as a nail technician and salon owner for many years in Romania, I decided to move to London with my partner. not having any work experience in the UK, I started working as a senior nail technician at a salon called Images London in Fulham Broadway. After three months, I was promoted to store manager and then moved to work as a boutique and spa manager at a salon in Oxford Circus. I then heard about Urban through an ex-employee of mine who recommended the app to me, so I started my own limited company and joined.
“Urban gives me the opportunity to manage my own schedule, which I love because soon I will start going to school again and I can work around my other commitments. The Urban team is very dedicated and serious about what it wants to achieve.
“I now have complete control over my diary. There is always plenty of work available and I really enjoy working with the company. I keep recommending it to friends and my ex-colleagues because I really believe in the brand. You get the chance to meet so many amazing people: I’m a very sociable person and I love interacting, so I think this type of job was made for me!
“Working with Urban has made my life easy and stress free. I work when I can, I can take days off whenever I like and I can plan holidays when I want – even at short notice. I would recommend Urban to any nail technician seeking a trustworthy brand to partner with that has amazing app features, a good clientele, an opportunity for good earnings and access to loads of interesting and helpful topics from the Urban community.”
