When I didn't come into contact with the pedicure industry, I also thought it was a humble service industry-foot washing.
Rubbing on a pair of men's feet all day, people without beriberi will be fine when they arrive, and there will be no smell; If you have athlete's foot, the moment you take off your shoes, the room is filled with smoke, and you don't know if you can eat after pressing your feet.
Most importantly, fear is the activity of running invisible people under the banner of soaking feet. For a woman, if she strays into an industry, she will be accused by many people, but she will drown in saliva.
In fact, as early as 2003, when I was in my early twenties, I knew that Fuqiao Foot Bath, the legendary big brother in pedicure, was that year. Business is booming, and chain stores are opening one after another, which can be described as a household name and a very famous brand. I really wanted to try. Although it is very hard, the attractive high salary attracts many boys and girls to do pedicure.
Only then, I didn't have the courage. Until now, when the pedicure industry is gradually updated and slowly corroded by modern customs, I choose to step into the pedicure industry.
20 14 Shortly after the divorce, I couldn't raise my daughter alone, because I negotiated with her father that I could visit my daughter or bring her to live with me at any time, so I gave up custody automatically. Thinking that I had no financial resources, I began to plan to do pedicure. The most important thing is that I have enough time and a decent salary. I can also write in my spare time, regardless of age and experience. It is the best for me.
I heard that my uncle's daughter, Xiao Juan, was doing pedicure in Guangzhou, so she was curious, but she never dared to ask about her job. She wears fashionable clothes when she comes home for the holidays every year. Originally, Xiao Juan was born beautiful, wearing long shawl hair, knee-length leather clothes, short skirts and boots. This kind of dress is even more disappointing for us who are plain.
Thinking about my present situation, forgetting my previous lofty ideas, and her inspirational experience of successful pedicure, I wonder if she can take me to pedicure to make money. After many twists and turns, I finally got her phone number and asked her many questions carefully, which solved my doubts.
I asked her why she chose pedicure, and she said that her family was poor and she was poor. I didn't want to be poor like my father all my life, so I went to Guangzhou with my sisters. I heard that pedicure is very expensive. I have no education and experience, so I chose pedicure.
Yes! My uncle, like my father, has been an honest and bullied farmer all his life. My aunt is a daughter-in-law bought from Yunnan, and her daughter Xiao Juan is surprisingly clever. Unfortunately, she went to Guangzhou to work before graduating from junior high school, only to know that she had gone to get a pedicure.
Later, she said that pedicure is not a shady profession. Many people look down on our profession and think that we are just playful. In fact, in our line of work, we all eat with our hands and brains. Usually we come down for an hour and a half, soaked to the skin and too tired to move. In this process, we should also be a psychological counselor, enlighten those unhappy guests who come here to spend money and become our repeat customers, so as to achieve results, instead of getting paid sitting and lying down. We all exchange today's health for tomorrow's health. Only in this way can our families live a stable life.
Moreover, people who really do pedicure must have calluses on their hands. Look at my hand. It's not as thick and deformed as a girl's hand, nor as wrinkled as an old man's hand. It's not delicate and smooth at all.
If you want to do pedicure, you must first stabilize your heart, stand the temptation and do it for a long time. Don't carry the reputation of pedicure. If you don't make money, it's not good to be notorious.
Later, after careful consideration, I applied for many stores, and finally chose Fuqiao pedicure with excellent technology, which really entered the pedicure industry.
Because I can't do anything, I have to learn everything from scratch. Although the wealthy overseas Chinese are not so rich after many years, the technical training is as strict as before.
In order to go to work one day earlier to make money, I study, remember acupoints and techniques every day. I was afraid of disturbing the master's rest, so I drew the position of the visceral reflex zone on my foot and practiced it repeatedly. Others have to study for half a month, and it only took me a week to officially start working.
My fingers hurt when I started working, and some guests asked for more effort. Even though I tried my best to breastfeed, my hands hurt and my tears almost came out, the guests were still dissatisfied. Even being called back by guests, and sometimes being complained about fines by guests are common, which makes me feel very wronged and sad.
Later, after a layer of calluses grew on the back of my hand, it stopped hurting, and I gradually got used to it. I always smile even if the guests are angry and sarcastic. This is my job. Since I chose this job, I can't live up to my original intention. Only by working hard to make money can my children and family live a good life.
Always believe that there is no humble job, only a humble work attitude. Only in this way can we win this lasting decisive battle between ourselves and others.
