Would just like to say thank you to everyne who replied to my thread and thank you for all the help you've given me. I don't think here is the place to ask for help again however.
Nail Extension trining is very expensive as you know and i would just like to clarify that once my training is complete i will recieve an NVQ certificate in Nail extensions something that i could go to college for as well and something that is also offered in my local college.
GiMake your own decisions.
No further help required!
Thanks anyway.
Oh Hun, this is a shame..............
because this site would be so useful for you, it covers all aspects of Nail Technology...............and the best place to ask for help and advice....
Gigi made a fair comment and in all our years in the Industry, we have seen all sorts of training schools, some great, some good and some terrible.........
No one is saying that your training with your chosen centre is rubbish.........it is just very odd to receive training, only being able to do this during shop or study times.......and not having a student kit at your disposal....
the point is............. If you are being creative trained it would be through one of the Creative Academies..................There you would only use Creative products and receive your Creative Certificates.........also a training kit is included with the training so you can train and practice at all times and are not time or Salon restricted....
If a training centre uses all sorts of products and they are not Creative Ambassadors (Sole Creative Trainers and Tutors and Academy recognised) then you are not receiving Creative training as you said in your first post...........You are receiving Nail Technology training....using various products............
As from September we have a new NVQ3 for Nail Technology only, at the moment it is not as involved as it will be...............
Creative training will also help you towards your NVQ, you will be able to use all your notes and training for your NVQ3 folder and portfolio.............
Training is a minefield..........if you are happy with your training then that's brill.......
but it wont allow you to use Creative products.......... for that you will have to be Creative trained or hold a Conversion certificate..............
As for products to train with, use products that are being used in the Salon.....
Ask you tutor for Wholesalers details and addresses.................we have a link to industries in this site and you can choose from a whole range of companies......
Sally's, Capital and Beauty, Salon Services all hold a range of products too.........including tools and implements..........
Again ask your tutor for a kit list and then you can purchase those items when ready............
Just my thoughts and I hope you will stay and become one of our friends....we all are very passionate about our profession and we can sound at times a bit defensive............. but this is only because we care and want the best for each and every individual Technician.............newly trained, in training or like me an oldish fossil...................
take care and good luck with your training xxxxx
