Hi everyone,
Happy Wednesday!
I have had a search through previous threads and unfortunately the relevant posts date back to 2014 as the most recent, so apologies in advance for the somewhat rudimentary question, but I haven't been able to find anything relevant and recent to go off.
I would like to undertake a manicure/pedicure course, and am based in London. I've done so much Googling I feel like I'm going slightly mad! My assessment of the situation as it stands is:
- Sweet Squared and the CND system are by far the best way to go, but Sweet Squared don't offer a mani-pedi course (the most "beginner" things they offer are a Shellac course, which you need a mani-pedi certificate to enter, and then L+P and Gel systems which I wouldn't feel comfortable doing without a more basic certificate, even if I were allowed to attend).
- Salon Services offer mani-pedi courses but don't have centres in London offering this.
- There are a variety of online-learning courses that send you a hand and have you watch videos and submit coursework via the internet. These seem icky and not a good way to learn (please correct me if I'm wrong?)
- There are a variety of other schools with availability in London (e.g. Next Step Beauty and Nails and Beauty Academy) offering huge nail training packages at ridiculously low prices. This coupled with garish websites has me doubting the legitimacy and standards of these places. Any advice is greatly appreciated...
Can anyone recommend a nice manicure/pedicure course, in London, that is a genuinely nice place to start? I'm not bothered about getting ALL OF TEH THINGZZZ for the low-low price of £149.99. I'd rather train incrementally and with quality.
Thanks so much in advance,
