Cheesy Starting Out Advice Required?? - 26-12-08, 03:12 PM

Hi There,

I am taking a course in January learning Acrylic Nail Application plus Manicure and Nail Art. I hope to do a UV Gel conversion course later in the year (after I have got used to acrylics and saved some more money!).

Do you think I could build up a client base (after lots of practice) offering only acrylics for the time being?

Look forward to hearing your comments,

Thanx, Em x

Of course you could. Its quite wise to master one system before moving on to another. I wouldnt rush to train in gel till you feel youre competent with L&P, but good for you for thinking ahead, and good luck with your future

Thats exactly how i have started out, slow and steady, if your good your reputation soon builds with word of mouth.

It does take some getting but dont give up and always be open to new ideas and learning from others.

I studied L&P last year and only dabbled into gel at CND's "the event". Im saving for a lamp now.

Good luck x
