I have to say I think I did quite a bit of research before choosing the company/course I went on & glad I did couldn't have been happier with the results!! These days you really have to research.

I just went for the nearest one to me. The course also started a couple of weeks after I decided to go into nails and I always jump in feet first! I was very lucky in that my educator was fab, bless her. I ended up not too keen on the products and want to do more training when money allows. Thanks to this site I've decided to stop inflicting myself on the general public until I'm 100% happy in my work. I'll also spend more time researching different training which, thanks to being skint, I've now got plenty of time to do.

I had been researching since september before I made my choice. I am in the process of doing my training at the moment and so far I am very pleased with trainer and product.
I will see what happens, I do know that at some point in the future I would really like to do an Ezflow conversion as this product does sound very good as does creative. At the moment I'm not in a position vote in the poll.

I did a ton of research and I still got it wrong!! Be very very very sure you want to do this job and make sure you ask every possible question. If you feel something is not right speak up! Please... I have been burned....

Yup, did lots of research before deciding on ezflow. Ezflow offered me the chance to attend training with Danny Haile, Geri-Dawn, Antony and Najet! How can I ask for more!!! I have improved by leaps and bounds and more leaps and bounds haha..

And by knowing my own teacher also trained with them too, I knew I was making the right decision. I can't say the same about the Creative training in my country though. So sometimes, its really important what kind of educational support the brand can offer locally in a particular country, and not just rely on a brand name's good reputation.

I decided to train to be a nail technician and researched many companies, etc who offer training.
I ended up going to Creative as thought that they were a well established name and although the training was the most expensive, I thought it would be worth it.
What a disaster!!!
The trainer just sat and read from a folder and couldn't even pronounce words correctly.
I feel disgusted in my training and have still to complete the course, it is a shame as I feel so let down. They were/are so unprofessional
PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

Im with Theresa, I paid for an independent person who taught me the basics of nails systems, Fibreglass, L&P and Gel, had I found this site earlier I would have researched more than I did then.

On a more positive note, I am doing alot of reasearch at the moment into different providers of Nail Systems.

Where did you train with CND? That doesn't sound like an official CND Education Ambassador to me...

I have been doing different beauty treatments from my early teens and when I grew up I decided that I would look into some training. I remember surfing the internet and coming across essential nails, I called them up initially to find out how they teach and whether it would suit me and it did, they were very accommodating and were always available at the end of an email or the phone.
