Help is Home Learn enough to get me started?

[julia_james]

i have just passed a training course for gel by essential nails and would like to start working on people will just the 1 certificate in gel be enough or do i need to have a certificate in manicures??
they have said even though i have just 1 certificate i am a trained nail tech

Congratulations for passing!! If you feel confident enough to do it - go for it!! Maybe you can do some other courses in manicures & pedicures at a later date, & maybe learn the other systems later such as Acrylic (L&P) ect when you feel ready, Good luck, shelley x

I am doing the acrylic with EN, loving it, just finding it hard at moment to spend time on it. Goin part time in my job soon so will have more time for it. I have never had my l&p slide off, is your ratio too wet perhaps?

Ring them they are really helpful - i bought a home learn course off them in Aug - but have since decided i need classroom based training so i am starting my Creative L&P Foundation Course on Wednesday - although i think i will finish the essential one at a later date as it is another certificate!!... But i cant fault the service at Essential as they are brilliant!! my nail trainer broke so i sent it back to them for repair...i needed it back for saturday & also need it for my Creative course on Wed - my telephone tutor said if i didnt have it back on friday she would send me a new one - on saturday morning i woke up to the doorbell at 7.15am with UPS Express giving me my brand new nail trainer - with New Glue, tips, primer cards etc...i couldnt believe how brilliant the service was & i had it in time for college as promised!! So i would advise you to ring them for help as they are sooo helpful & youve paid all the money for the gel course & now the acrylic one so you are entitled to help & support from them, good luck with your courses, shelley xxx

I totally agree Nikki and Hannah.
Ive just started the EN acrylic and tip overlay course and the help and advice you get from them is A1. Although the dvd is a bit naff, the products seem to be good. I only started in september and am also finding it a bit difficult for time, especially with a 3 rear old racing round my feet!
But hey keep with it!
