Hey everyone, sorry to be introducing myself with a whole bunch of annoying questions :o , but I though it'd be the best place to ask advice.
I've just left uni doing a totally (well pretty much) unrelated degree in fashion and brand promotion, but I'd like to get into nails, at least part time. I friend recommended I try a course from Essential Nails, but being up to my eyeballs in student debt, I wanted to see if anyone had any advice before I signed up. How well looked upon would a certificate be from them, does anyone know? I'm job hunting right now as well as potentially moving 300 miles away in the next two months, so home-taught is really the only option for me, but I'm not sure if people would turn their noses up at it. Ideally I'd like to be a mobile, I'm not sure if that makes any difference.
Initially I'd like to learn false nails, then airbrushing, but I'm hoping/thinking I won't need to do an airbrush course as I've done both art airbrushing and tattoos before, I just don't know which course to start with. I think the site seems to recommend acrylics over gels or fibreglass, at least they say they are more popular with clients, would anyone agree?
Anyway, that's my major starting conundrum (sp?) - I'm not sure if I'm being a bit naive about the whole process, and would really appreciate some feedback or your own experiences. Thanks!
