    What do you expect of your trainer/educator?

    This is part of a project I am working on at the moment and would value the opinions from you the nail technician. As we all know good education is worth it weight in gold. I'm sure that most of us come away from a class feeling motivated, inspired and elated. I for one get a real buzz from...

    The cost of the new NVQ

    Just out of curiosity I sat down and worked out how much it would cost me to do the new NVQ levels 2&3. 2 levels, 8 units & 30 assessments. Got a bit of a shock I have to say. Eash assessment period lasts 4 hours so it is possible to do more than one in that time, (just as well if not it would...

    So.......gel's not acrylic then?

    Well not according to one major distributor in this months 'Scratch'. Admittedly at one point it's compared to 'traditional' acrylics but goes on to say, "What can be done with acrylic can be more or less done with XYZ gel.....". Doesn't once compare it to L&P. Gel is the big feature in this...

    Anyone near Inverness - client relocating

    One of my daughters clients has moved to Elgin, about 35miles east of Inverness, (I think!) The client thought she's already found herself a technician but called today because she wasn't happy with the work she'd had done. So has asked if we could help her find someone else. TIA

    Do you think you could ever be as good as Tom H?

    I was admiring the stunning work of the competitors at the Nailympics in this months Scratch magazine, some amazing work and near enough a clean sweep for Tom Holcomb. If I turned the clock back 30 years, practiced night and day I don't think I could ever be anywhere as good as Tom. Do you...

    Silk v Fibreglass

    I understand the basic difference that silk is a finer weave. But when would you choose to use silk over fibreglass or vice versa?

    True Fit Nails

    Found this over on the Beautytech site, what do you think, will we be redundant soon? :lol: "I just watched my local news station and they featured a story on a dentist who has developed some kind of press on nails that fit the client specifically and the client purchases these nails and...

    Trade mag photos

    Maybe I'm being a bit too critical here but don't companies proof their photos before sending them off for insertion in a trade mag? I mean we usually see one or two that we look at and think "Oh dear...." but I've just looked through the latest Scratch magazine and there seems to be an unusual...

    The new NVQ - where is it?

    Am I right in thinking that the new NVQ hasn't started yet and that the assessment centres are waiting for the relevant paperwork from from C&G?
