Acrylic Geeks

[Robynx]

Hey
Just wanted to be nosy and see who people trained with as I really want to be trained in acrylic nails but have no idea where to start looking

Any replies will be appreciated

My best advice is find a brand that you like and do their training. It is ok to do a course at a local college where you will get a good basic foundation to it. But i found it so much better in a brand, better training, product knowledge and help and assistance if you do go with a brand. Lots of geeks on here will tell you which they prefer. I would look at the main brands, what the training involves and if you can afford to buy it in once qualified. I trained with CND, best decision i ever made. Good luck in your quest to find information. X

Thank you for the info Lysa
Can i pick your brain a bit more and ask what other brands there are?
I need to do some serious research into this as i'm so clueless :o

 

[Deena]

Other well known brands include Ezflow, NSI, Young Nails, Nail Harmony, Entity, Nfu Oh .....

This isn't an exhaustive list by any means and just off the top of my head. Run some searches on here for more that techs recommend ..........

:biggrin:

I will definitely look into those

Yes of course, I can also think of NSI, Artistic, Harmony plus all the others stated above. I really would look into each brand. Some cost more to train with, some of their training is more intensive than others. One good bit of advice I can give you is, you cannot learn to do nails, nail anatomy in one day. Don't cut corners.x

I trained with Crystal Nails products at Phoenix College in Gt Baddow, Essex (saw your location is Essex). Crystal is good but not widely known. I converted to CND with Justine Crick in Braintree. Great tutor. I have also used NSI which I really liked too.

How long and how much was your Braintree course?

Im thinking of going down the CND or NSI route as it seems the most well known

Lelu, now you have made the switch from nsi to cnd, have you noticed a difference? I'm thinking of doing the same and wondered if it's worth it? Cheers x

As I had already done a nail tech course I just did a one day one-to-one day. Training details are on www.sweetsquared.co.uk under Education.

Personally I found them quite similar.
