Hi there
I am Level 3 Beauty qualified (2002) but worked in a different industry all my life. Following maternity leave, I am looking to work from home. I'm currently trained with Nouveau Lashes, Body Sugaring, Spray Tan and Henna Brows....but I have never been able to master nails.
I have used various brands of gel polish. My main concern is no gel polish has ever lasted without chipping or lifting for more than a few days on myself therefore I'm a bit lost with confidence. I was using Shellac, purchased from Ellison's, and had multiple issues with chipping on clients too.
Given that I trained a long time ago, I'd like to re-train so I can really master this. I don't want to quit on Shellac so was looking at doing their beginners course as I'd like to then do their core nail art course too. But When I look on forums and reviews, I see that chipping with shellac is arguably a common problem. I need the system I choose to be reliable. I also hear shellac is only good fir strong, healthy nails. If so, if I trained in Polygel, could this be used for clients that need more strength? (There are no Brisa gel courses near me). And can shellac be used over the top? I want to be able to offer both natural nail and enhancements.
I hear a lot of recommendation for TGB. Found their customer service rude and unsupportive. I am not wanting to go with them for this reason...but if they really are the best...then I may have to.
Why choose a power polish (shellac) over a true gel,?? If it doesn't last adong...
