Aspiring Nail Technician

[LilCheekyMonkey]

Hi, this is my very first post!
I'm saving my pennies to do the CND natural and acrylic course. I'd like to become a mobile tech. If anyone has any advice for setting up my business or any advice on how I can pre-train, any kits or books that can give me some help before I do my course that would be splendid!

Hello

There is a wealth of information on starting up here. If you do a search, you will find loads!

Obviously your training will provide you with the best foundation to build on, but in regards to books/pre training, I'd suggest Nail Class by Gigi Rouse. There are also a few geeks on here who post video tutorials on You Tube. Off the top of my head, I know Divine by Design but sure there are others who are excellent.

Hope this is of some help to you and best of luck.

From experience the 3 top books I was recommended to get / read pre and during my training were 1) Doug Schoon Nail Structure and Product Chemistry Second Edition 2) Marian Newman The Complete Nail Technician 3rd edition and 3) as already mentioned, Gigi Rouse Nail Class

They are a super x
