Oh great learned ones of Geek land, need your advice.
I am in the process of deciding which courses to take to become a mobile Nail Technician.
What i need to know is where to start. I don't want to make the wrong decisions as it could work out costly.
My confusion is, there does not seem to be a difinitive system on working towards it. First off i decided I liked the Bio Sculpture and so went to them. They told me i had to have a basic nail course under my belt first, as did Calgel when i approached them. Fine so off i go trawling the net for basic nail courses. All of the ones I've found say that i can be quailified in about 5 days. Is this correct. Should i be going to college for some time (A year) first or can i just go on one of these 5 days courses and be qualified?
I've rung creative (thanks to Beauty Guru and Amanda Fontanerossa for your help)and they are going to get back to me with bumf on courses.
Also I've found a place round my way called HHBTA ( Hayden Health & Beauty Academy) anyone ever heard of them.
they are offering a total nail technician, inc manicure courses, this includes parafin wax, gel & acrylic nail systems, tips & overlays, maintenace, infill's & removal. £550 for a 5 day course (no kit) is this a good price or am i being ripped off.
now if went with this course, I'm guessing i would not need the bio course as this one covers gels, or am i wrong on this one. i know Bio is exclusive and i have to train with them if i want to use their stuff.
Which brings me onto kit, what 'kit' am i going to need?
Wow this is turning into quite a long thread, sorry. I did do a search first but kept getting sidetracked.
All answers welcome no matter how small
