I think including the removal in price is a good idea and I agree that removal should be professional, however , knowing my clients most of them already remove the nails themselves anyway before they became my clients so I adapted what I offer to incorporate this as I personally would rather...

I think you dealt with the situation well, and did all the correct things. So if it happens again then id deal with it the way you already have or simply tell the person whom is concerned that each training provider is different and if she is serious she needs to learn the trade properly and...

I was taught to thoroughly inspect the hands during consultation as the client may not disclose information as you have came across. I get my client to wash their hands before they sit down in the chair, I then wash mine, I go through my consultation card and when it cones to skin/nail condition...

To be honest giving clients instructions of how to remove correctly has been my holy grail, I no longer have my regular clients coming back to me with poor nails due to incorrect removal. My leaflet explains the importance of correct removal, the dangers of not removing correctly and also...

I was beginning to wonder I cant believe the amount of places with no procedures in place, why go to the length of missing a consultation when you can produce gorgeous long lasting nails, its like making an assumption there will be no contra actions or no problems afterwards and this is by no...

Masks are a precautionary measure for all nail techs but not compulsory, it is the preference of the nail tech to decide if they need one or not but. Yes some nail bars using mma products which they shouldnt be all wear masks therefore people make assumptions, but i would be more worried about...

I started with home learn uk a few years ago when I never knew nor bothered to find out about my options or what the nail industry really involved. The course is honestly not enough you have to practically rewrite each chapter in the complete nail technician book which there is now an updated...

Marian newman the complete nail technician 3rd edition.... Fantastic book

Thank you everybody for fantastic replies , it is all clearer now :)

Aww I see, yes I have a manicure/pedicure certificate already, but I didnt know that I could start using the products without training so was was a little confused with it all. I think I will go for the Shellac training, as mentioned above this is a good idea to go with first as winter is...

Your nail page is fantastic, I love the video explanation as clients often do not know the difference between the products being offered. I notice you offer paraffin wax...totally off the subject but again how do you find this works for you? All I seem to get requests for is nail enhancements...

Thank you everybody for replying, I would certainly do the training for both Minx and Shellac even if the minx application is easy, I think it would be better to have another certificate to the pile and no point doing things half heartedly. I was contemplating possibly conducting a poll on...

Thanks for the advice there's so much stuff and everytime I open a new issue of Scratch mag something else catches my eye lol. I really don't want to be going to a great expense for products not to be used hence asking what is best to begin with. I would defo do the training for Minx and...

Hi everyone really needing some help please. Apologies for the long question always best to give all info. I have recently just started up my business working from home offering limited treatments based on what I already know ... And advertising what I will be adding to my list of services as...

Thick ridges across the nail would indicate to me transverse furrows, however if the skin being red and dry etc there could be a combination of things, very hard to tell having not saw the nail. If ever in any doubt refer the client to seek medical advice as you may send her to dermatologist and...

I honestly really think that her blog has been taking the wrong way. I genuine don't think she has meant to post it to sound "ignorant" towards CND although I can see why people are not happy with her blog. I have read it and understood it in the sense that it is more costly/more hassle for her...

I can understand that she may be "sneering" and thinking she knows best ie not using the product properly with scrubfresh but I don't feel the post needs to speculate scrutiny or mock her either. If she is doing it wrong and feels that she doesnt need a professional service then some other nail...

I dont agree with conning clients definately not, my post refers to product opionion only I certainly think client loyalty/trust is most important. Incase anybody reads my post the wrong way lol

To be honest I don't think there is anything wrong with it, she is entitled to her opinion I guess. Just because other people swear by a brand doesn't mean everyone should follow it. In a business it is about what works best for both you and your client and in this case Shellac was not that...

I use NSI and as quoted above I apply in 3 zones with the larger bead used in zone 2 to create an apex. Is your salon based in Scotland? If so both of your nail techs will be able to apply for £200 each from ILA towards the cost of training. Hillington School of Beauty (NSI) accept ILA funding...
