Hi guys, Just applied for a job with the BWC, they are offering all in house training no previous experience neccessary. Just wondered if any one knows what they are like as employers? Plus whether their training is well regarded? I have cnd complete cert and was saving to do beauty therapy...

Hi everyone. So, just wanted to post this, feeling so happy and positive right now. I am currently in the process of changing careers. I am a chef right now: long hours, all eves n weekends, low pay. Its something I fell into after uni and it has taken four years for me to find something I am...

hi ladies, not quite sure where to post this, hope this is ok. Had a search on the groups and there isn't a regional one for Manchester, and i don't think I'm allowed to set on up?! Just wondering of there are any geeks based in and around the Manchester area that are training, or have just...

Hey guys, just had a girl ask me for infill/rebalance, she has red acrylic nails currently and they were done by another tech. I have just qualified so am charging a fraction of normal price and im only agreeing to this for practise, but my question is can I put another color over the red or...

Hey loves, just wanted a few opinions on whether i should go ahead and do the itec exams in july/august? I passed my cnd complete course a couple of weeks ago, so happy! I absolutely loved it and cant recommend enough. Trouble is i struggled getting models for the practical days and am worried...

Ah good on you! I dont even have half the responsibilities you have, and i would find it stressful. It will be worth it. :-D i didnt know you couldnt get funding for level two, thats good to know also. Glad i posted this now it would have been unwise for me to have persued the...

Ah ok i understand. I will have to do my research more thoroughly. Though does it matter the area you work in? It really does seem to be impossible to do after a certain age then. I mean i have a partner but not sure how he would feel about supporting us both for a year eeeep. Thanks for the...

Anyway this is getting off topic. I just wondered if anyone else is on here thinking of changing careers and how they are thinking about doing it and stuff. Really stressing myself out trying to work it all out money wise. Sent from my GT-I9100 using SalonGeek mobile app

Im talking about trainee beauty therapy not hairdressing guys, sorry if that wasnt clear. A beauty salon would be doing nail services i presume. Not sure also what people do in time after work is the business of employers? As long as it doesnt affect the work you are doing during work hours. I...

Though i would be offering a return straight away as i would have a level three diploma in nails and could do that straight away. Maybe bigger salons or spas would be more inclined to take on. Its just im not convinced its going to be possible to get a job after doing a qualification, salons...

Yes i would be doing the apprenticship full time-college is day release, and then doing nails in my spare time. I just dont want to spend a lot on a private education if at the end i cant get a job. And doing college one day a week witj my current job would be too much. Its tough isnt it. I mean...

Hey guys, just wondered what peoples opinions where about changing careers and more than halving a solid wage to take on an apprenticship? I am 25 and have a degree and i dont have children so it seems funding options are limited and i dont want to get into a massive amount of debt considering...

What is cert 4? I am also doing a nail tech course and looking at beauty therapy after. Was thinking of going private and doing level 2/3 nvq with white rose college. Still not sure though. My current course is with cnd and is really in depth, want all my training to be this good! Plus i want to...

Hey everyone, so I'm currently working toward my level three ITEC in nails with CND and I've got the beauty training bug! Im looking at doing a beauty therapy qualification because I want to change careers. From what I gather on here private vs college training depends on where you go and varies...

Ah thanks guys, really helpful. Those nails look beautiful :-) the additives posted above where the ones i was looking at as they seemed the most versatile. I am actually still training with cnd ( at the creative academy in manchester actually! Been browsing the shop after class havent i ;-)...

Haha yes thats the only trouble, trying to resist buying all the pretty sparkly things when you are just starting out. Going to treat my self to some shellac and additives on friday though as a reward for the brain melt of enhancements. You get a lamp! And some shellac to start you off but you...

Hi there everyone. Just a little question about additives. I want to start playing around with them a bit and love a dark dramatic nail. Just wondered what i would be best buying first and what could work well over a dark shade like overtly onyx or blackpool. Thanks in advance for any help X...

Ps where do you live? I am struggling for models so if you fancied being my model for a day you could see if you liked it? I am training in manchester Sent from my GT-I9100 using SalonGeek mobile app

Hiya love. Im doing this course at the moment! Just finished shellac today and starting enhancements in the next couple of days. I would really recommend it. It is a lot of money but you get what you pay for: in depth thourough training, proper assesment and support, full kit-good quality cnd...
