Ok I'll try and explain best I can without droning on!
About a year ago I did my OPI training in manicure and pedicure. After I completed that I completed the complete foundation course (all 3 enhancement systems). Since April I've been working a couple of days a week in a local hair and beauty salon - just doing manis and pedis, no enhancements. The owner offered to put me on her liscensing agreement when it was renewed.
Now the problem - I got a phonecall today from the salon owner telling me health and safety have been in and my OPI certificates are not recognised in my borough (Barnet) as proper qualifications and therefor I can't work in the salon in case something happens.
Now I'm not annoyed with the salon owner - it's not her fault, but surely OPI should have told me when I did my training that it might not be a recognised qualification in some areas? I don't know what to do. I can't work in the salon until I have my NVQ qualification but I can't afford/don't know where to do it.
Has anyone else been in this situation and can you offer me any advice??
Sorry for rambling on :cry: x
