Hello
I might well get shot down in flames for asking this but hey ho here goes...
I havent done Minx training (as yet) but do offer Minx as a service. I'm going through all my salon documents today to see that they still make sense and have come to realise that I dont have an aftercare advice sheet for Minx.
So, other than "dont peel them off" and "apply solar oil", am I missing any other important after care advice? (other than the obvious nail & skin care advice). Yes I know I need to do the Minx course and I do intend to in the near future but in the meantime any advice on aftercare for Minx would be appreciated
From whom do you buy your Minx? If you hold a mani pedi certificate, you do not HAVE to train with Minx ... You would certainly be better at doing the service if you did do the training ... stands to reason doesn't it? .... but that's your call.
If you you can supply me with your S2 customer number so that I can verify you as a Minx customer, then I can send you the official aftercare advice which is yes, allot more comprehensive than "DONT PEEL THEM OF AND USE SOLAR OIL"
pm me with your number and your email address.

so you are saying you DO NOT need to train to offer minx aslong as you can at least do a manicure?

Hi Geeg,
Could you also send a client care sheet to me please.
My S2 number is 207833 and my email address is info@nailsxpress.co.uk
or wendy_dudley_evans@hotmail.com
Dont know why I have never received one. I have had loads of Minx from them.
Many thanks

Or I can do it if you pm me with the relevant info that I asked for above ... This is one of the things I do for Sweet Squared; I wrote the aftercare for them for Minx and also for Shellac.
I need your email address and your Sweet Squared customer number.

You all should take Geeg up on her offer of an aftercare sheet , she kindly sent me one for Minx & Shellac and it has been incredibly helpful to me and my clients too x

Are they the same sheets that you get on the course? Geeg said she wrote the aftercare for the Minx training. I'm hopefully doing my Minx training in August, provided my EA feels I'm ready :D xx

Actually I'd love the Shellac after care advice too, although unlike Minx I'm not going to provide that service until I've done the training. I shall email you again Geeg for the Shellac after care sheet once I've done the training if you dont mind?
so you are saying you DO NOT need to train to offer minx aslong as you can at least do a manicure?
No one is twisting your arm, no. It's not mandatory. I have to say I think anyone who doesn't train is foolish because there are lots of tricks to learn but it's your business ... if you want to do a poor job on clients until you master Minx then that's your call ... not great for business though. :(

I worked in a salon who got
Minx in so she put one of our therapists through on the training and I went with her as her model so I went through it all aswell, the tutor that day even let me have a go on the girl I went with.
I asked if I needed to do the training even though I went with the girl from the salon and they said no but yet I don't get a certificate :(
Do you think I should go again to get my official certificate?
I now do minx in my own salon and I buy from sweet squared x

If you want a certificate you will have to take the course in your own right. The trainer was very nice to let you attend and have a go, but if you want the Cert you will have to take the class. Meanwhile if you are buying Minx with your manicure certificate then that decision is up to you.

thanks your really helpful :)
Also worth mentioning that you should check with your insurer if they require you to have undertaken Minx training, as some will not provide valid insurance otherwise!
There are now 3-hour certificated Minx courses being provided by Sweet Squared through their network of CND Education Ambassadors to qualified manicurists up and down the country, and for such a small fee that training should hopefully be accessible and affordable.
The same applies for Shellac - 3 hour certificated courses are available at a very reasonable cost. And some Ambassadors offer both in the same day - one in the morning, the other in the afternoon.
The cost of these courses has been kept low to support you, the professional, so that you can complete the official training and get your beautiful certificates without a huge outlay of time and money. :)
