What are very common questions that appear on this site daily? Queries about lifting, breakages, nails falling off etc etc. It does seem that so many technicians don't know how to work out what the problem is and panic about their own abilities. This is because they haven't had enough training to understand what is going on!
So many courses just concentrate on the application and not on the maintenance. In my opinion supervised help with maintenance is as important (if not more so) than application. The results of good/bad prep and good/bad application is shown up in every maintenance appointment. Those who are beginning their training need help with all the implications that show up during these services. How can they work out why problems occur if it has only been talked about briefly?
If you think about it, a 'full set' client should be just a one off! After that they are maintenance clients! If problems that arise aren't put right during the maintenance they won't be clients for long. Giving clients perfect nails time after time is what keeps them with you.
During your training, help with your first and second maintenance services for several clients will help. The first to see what was wrong with your initial application and how to recognise what needs doing and the second to see if the problem was put right. This is crucial learning and is directly connected to the learning of application.
Do you think you had enough help with maintenance and putting problem right? Can you work out why a client has a problem and know how to fix it?
(This is another reason why learning with plastic hands are just the beginning. They help with application and product control but do nothing to help with such important issues that every beginner faces, i.e. lifting, breakages etc)
I've asked the questions to see what people think of their training and also to draw attention to the importance of good maintenance at the beginning of your learning and not after sleepless nights and lost clients.
