Hi there
I used to be a childcare worker and left my job last week, and am looking for a new start...something new and different and i thought about nails. Its only lately ive started to take care of my own and i quiet fancy become a nail technician.
However, i dont know alot about the nail business! - Having tip top nails when your changing nappies and doing finger paints all day has never really been too important!
Im from skye, in scotland and there are NO colleges near me and from what ive read there doesnt seem to be any pacific qualifications needed at present to be a nail technician, although i have seen some SVQ courses. I wondered if anyone knows if this is right? :?:
I would love to hear from other nail technisions/manacurists etc, to see what training you did/had to do. :?:
I have been looking at an open learning college, a private nail college that sounds GREAT and very helpful..was amazed and what great results and feed back they have as i didnt know it was something u could learn open learning.
They guide u through it at your own pace, with email/phone/support, and a very long video to help training, lots of books, posters, and a practise hand, (there's about 60 sets of nails to do for course 1) so the hand sounds great as i dont think i know 60 people lol - there is a lot of practical work to do for it as well as written work.
Ifound them in a magazine, they seem to advertise every month ''learn nails'' so im sure someone else has seen them. I think i first saw them in june/july.
The courses look good, quite hard though if ur new to nails, unlike some courses i have seen open learning that sound a complete waste of money.
They also help you to get insurance etc once you do complete the course (if your successful)
Would love it if anyone else could give me more info about the nail business, how to get started, what to expect and so on
Thanks very much =)
