Can I prepare myself for my training class?

[glitz and glam]

Hi all,

i've been lurking reading the threads the last few days and you all seem so friendly i thought id register and say hi!

Im a mum to 3,letitia 7, korbien 5 and oakley 1. i live down on the south coast with my other half martin, and our kids.
I have been putting off doing beauty courses because of the kids but decided that this year was going to be the year that i do it so i have enrolled on an NSI course which starts on Tuesday. I am hoping to work from home once we sort out the room untill then i will be mobile. i have been reading all about being new to this and there is so much info i could be here for days maye even weeks lol!!

So my question is , is there anything i should do to prephare myself that you wish youd done?
And is there anyone on here who has done the NSI course with linda in Dorset? (thats the one im doing) just trying to syke myself up!!!

Im so excited ,cant wait to get started!!

Oh also did any of you charge your models whilst at the course? heard by some that i should charge a small fee to cover costs??



TIA Chauntelle

Hi and welcome,yes you will become addicted!

Don't try and learn everything at once! You can't really 'prepare' as all systems are different and your tutor will guide you. Enjoy your course, let us know how you are getting on:hug:

Hi there,
I too live on the south coast (Bournemouth) & have just done the Mercia acrylic & gel level 1 & I now just charge £12.50 as it is still taking me a long time so I wouldnt expect people to pay the competitive rate which from my research is around £25-35. I feel that this is enough to cover any travel expenses & the cost of the products & so far I have had good feedback!
Good luck with it all!
