Hi Geeks this is my first post here after years of just watching! Just after a bit of advice on CND training.
I am qualified in NVQ level 2 & 3 in Beauty Therapy which included the basics in L&P and Gel using Nsi. When I finished college and got my first job in a salon my L&P enhancements were obviously no where near up to scratch and one of my colleagues a brill nail tech helped me get my enhancements up to a good standard and I did a hell of a lot of practising on anyone I could get my hands on!
While working at this salon I completed the CND conversion course in 2009 in the Manchester academy, the salon then decided that they weren't going to use CND products for enhancements and were going to stick with their current brand (not sure why think the current products were cheaper :sad In this job I mostly did semi permanent lashes as that is what we specialised in.
Fast forward four years and I have just started a new job and when asked what brands I would like to use in the salon straightaway I said CND Retention for L&P for enhancements I loved the products when I was on the course so much better than the brand I was previously using in my old job.
Basically I have been in my new job around 2 months now and I am having some trouble with lifting on nails. I feel I can produce a good set of L&P enhancements but they are lifting around a week after :sad: Nails have never really been my 'thing' as I have specialised in semi permanent lashes the last four years and nails were not as popular in my old job although I did still do them just not day in day out. I feel my mix ratio is a bit off and have watched so many youtube videos to see if I can pin point anything but it hasn't really helped. 'Acrylic' nails are very popular in my new salon so I really need to sort this issue out soon.
So what could you Geeks suggest? As I've said I have done the CND conversion course way back in 2009 so perhaps I should re do this course?
There is also the Lift Prevention course has anyone done this?
I have also seen the one to one training which I am leaning towards.
Also do I ring Sweetsquared or the actual academy to book? My previous CND courses were booked by my employer.
I will be ringing first thing in the morning for more info but just wanted a bit of advice first on what you geeks think on my situation what would you do? I have buried my head in the sand for the last few weeks now over this, I was even too scared to write on here! xx
