This is Hermans wifey Lilly,
Cant post anything on mine so i'm using his..... I have nearly finished a beauty therapy course and an additional option with the course was a nail extension course, because I have already done numerous nail courses this didnot apply to me but I was concernd when the tutor said it will be a gel course because "gel is organic and doesn't damage your nails like acrylic does". This concerns me alot as I probably like many of you have read Nail Structure & Product Chemistry by Doug Schoon and know that it is not the product that damages the nail but the technician. This really winds me up, if your tought correctly it doe'nst matter what system you use. Why do alot of college tutors insist on only using gel and then the student will get a qualification (in this instance an ITEC) in nail extensions, they do not know all aspects of extensions. I know Im going on a bit but it really really bugs me. Could it be that the college tutor only knows gel as the college does not offer liquid & powder, Sculptured, fibreglass/silk or even nail art courses. This is a private college and not a state college.
Lilly :twisted:
ps thought i would edit this bit too...topic of conversation this week with our tutor was the reason she had had 8 chest infections in 1 year was due to the fact that she was working with l&p...her doctor told her stop working with it :twisted:
