Hello everyone,

I've just had the exciting new that my fello beauty therapist friend. Has finally found the ideal premises to set up her own beauty salon and she wants me to join her as a nail tech.
Speaking to her on the phone last night one of the main probs she is having is finding products for her natural nail care. (she is going for decleor for skin care)
She currently uses Jessica at her work but wishes to change. She was going to go for Essie polishes but didn't like the packaging (apparently looked cheap).
She was trained by in creative (nail enhancements) in a previous salon but didn't get a certificate.
She was going to go for creative but was put off by the cost of having to pay and do training when she's already used creative for a number of years. Are we correct in thinking that she will be unable to buy creative product with out the training? Don't even think they let her do the conversion.
I am going on an EZflow course next week, do they have natural nail care? - would be ideal if they did.
Or is there an excellent natural nail care company out there that anyone can recomend?
Sorry so many questions but really want to help her out, I'm prob just as excited as her. She already spent near 14,000 mark kitting out the beauty room and and still need to find somewhere to get nail station and reception desk - these are sooo expensive. So if anyone knows a reasonable place to get then form, will be much appreciated.
Also we looking for reasonably priced printing company for price lists and business cards.
So much much to think about and again sorry for going on. When she was on the phone, I thought I know where I can getv some help with this one.

ooh jus looked back - is a bit long. Oh well. Look forward to hearing your replies x x x x x x x x x

Hi

If your Friend has a certificate in nails or her beauty level 3 and has been qualified for over a year she should be able to do the conversion course with creative if she rings up the academy and speaks to an adviser they can give her the best information. i use quite a few brands in my salon where enhancements are concerned but i mainly use Creative for my natural nail care. I have Solar range, spa range and scentsations.
