Company Magazine December issue

[Tanley]

Hey guys,
Just thought I would ask if anyone else read and what you thought, of the article in Company Magazine...WARNING, Can nail bars seriously damage your health? I just think the article was very one sided and out of 5 customer tests ALL of them were bad experiences?! What about all the good nail techs out there?

Well we all know the lovely PRESS!! They are never interested in the good .. only the sensational stuff. That is what we all like to read about according to them; that is what sells magazines and they don't care who is hurt in the process and they don't give a Rat's Ass about giving two sides of the story or a balanced opinion. Responsible journalism??? Is there such a thing?

Was this this years December issue?? Seems they have done this before in this magazine and there was talk about it last year.

Those going to good technicians will take no notice and those going to bad ones may just change their ways ... who knows?? If you are doing things in your salon that are right and professional then all your clients will know it.

I have not seen any of the articles but they did run a similar thing on our local tv stations.. Luckly enough the NNS salons that were the foccus were unmistakable.. They only blurred out their faces and it was very plain to see... I have had a few clients come to me as a result.. I think you just need to be well informed about MMA and all facts so when clients ask about it you are able to give clear information,.

I agree with you about all news being bad... no one wants to give any one a pat on the back these days

I have this mag and started to read it. There is a piece by Rachel Myatt though about what to look for in a good salon.

Yeah it was in this december issue. That's true your existing clients will know if you have good health and hygiene etc. I just can't believe how many people can be let loose on the public without adequate training!

Ive just sent my other half out to get me a copy as a message from Kate had shocked me a little.

The Louise mentioned in the main article was me.

It all started with a thread on here. I had offered to help in the form of putting a GOOD story about the correctly trained nail technicians. This has sort of come accross but to the consumer still appears to show that the problems they mention can be caused by any salon as aposed to the NSS.

There were many more things I mentioned such as what makes as NSS an NSS, to look out for products such as Creative, Ezflow, Nsi and young nails etc.

The article is not as bad as some I have seen, it does try to put accross the things to look for in choosing a good salon. All the examples are people who have had bad experiences at salons though, a few good ones would have helped to even out the story and help me better make its point, it makes it sound as if though trying there were no good salons to be found.

The article as a whole had not at all turned out how I had thought it would. Only a handfull of the points I made are actually in the article and even those are not at all written in the way I said them. The only reason I agreed to help with the article was to alter the perception of the customers who thought ALL salons were bad. Had I have known it would come accross as it had I wouldnt have participated. If such a situation comes up again in the future I wont be bothering.
