Hello Brow Queen
sorry I did not reply for 2 days and my old thrad was deleted? I have no gain of selling anything or my services, If I had of replied and posted faster they would have seen this.
they though I was selling my services, I have no intention of this... here is the reply.
Hello again.
I first started getting into the business in 1993, I worked in the US for a cosmetic surgical company, and was researching scar repair and camouflage techniques, we looked at the various pigments and systems that were involved .
The fascination for me was the makeup side of thing, back then there was really no one doing it, some UK people say that they have been doing it for 15 odd years but to tell you the truth this is mainly marketing rubbish, except for a few coil and tap users who were around in England back then.
The systems were not around back then and I trained with a small local company, and worked with some of the best at the times who are still around now, and who I call good friends.
Dr Linda Dixon and Susan church were so far out in front back then, and I was lucky enough to have the training, during the late 90`s people started looking at better machines and I was invited to run testing on some of the first machines from the main manufacture in Germany (Medium-Tech).
I have used many Pigments from all over the world, PCI,LMP,Biotouch and lots more, if you get into the research side of things you will see that a lot of it is just fad marketing and a lot of companies just use rebadged products.
I have no affiliation to any company or product and choose a mix of what I like best. Over time you no what is good and what is, well not bad but just ok. I really like the retention of the Nouveau contour pigments; they are nice and thick and hold so well, turbo black just stays so stunning, they are my choice by far.
I also use the Nouveau Contour medical addition, although there are similar machines, the control, display are really nice plus its one sassy looking piece of kit. Working for long periods in the USA I get all my kit there.
Its totally different over there as in the UK people are really more tied to the trainer/system, and this is a shame in some ways as the new breed of technician may never try other things, but of course this is my own personal view.
I dont want to go down the road of who invented the hairstroke, and that sort of thing, I am English and I know it was not done over here, but in the US, I also know that so many training companies/systems claim they were the first to do 3D hairstrokes, new people 1-5 years practice will just believe this.
As you can tell I do like the truth (possibly a little to honest) but there are so many average technicians out there and the ones that really stand out are hard to find, I have trained so many people and seen there work some time later and not seen real improvements. Please dont think if the trainer is the best, so will everyone who they train be excellent, its just not the case. Also just because a company is in all the glossy mags dont think they must be good and the trainer at the top is so good, there is a lot of really good PR work out there.
The main satisfaction for me is seeing my students that are really good. My other main buzz is the faces on some of my clients faces when they look in the mirror the first time, I am lucky enough to be able to put back into the business (I dont expect new people to be able to do this) working with paramedical on a pro-bona basis.
I like to work on the really advanced techniques and this is my main core of work and training
I am not selling my services here, just giving advise(if it is wanted/or asked)
If there is anything anyone wants to ask Technical please feel free.
