One thing i always stand by with training ........ you will usually only be as good as your teacher, as an example, if you are inexperienced and reach the same standard as your teacher, you will prob think you are pretty good (as you should) BUT, what if your teacher isn't all that good in the first place ?
As a new technician you should respect your teachers knowledge and quite innocently not realise they "lack" in many areas.
Teaching should be done by reputable and "proven" technicians, this industry usually lacks who qualifies who (without profit coming into the equation of course).
Please, please, please, excel at what you do before you pass that knowledge on (and i mean excel, not merely pass). I say this with a passion for our industry and a need for fully fledged, fully qualified technicians passing on years and years of experience.
Looking at the complaints time & time again in here, it's about time learning this career should ensure our clients and enjoyable and professional experience, not the current "hit & miss experience" by (so called technicians).
It's time to pick up the game in education, otherwise the nail industry will be considered a farce by the general public, heaven knows, many do already.
The only company with stage by stage appreciation of training seems to be Creative, with their masters, certificate, ambassador etc standards being quite well respected worldwide. I'm not even Creative trained or user, but still acknowledge and respect their standards.
EVERYONE SHOULD PICK UP ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE BEFORE THEY PASS IT ON, OTHERWISE THE PUBLIC WILL PICK UP ON THE TERMINOLOGY WE USE IN HERE .....OF ***NSS*** salons, technicians and educators, and you may be the next person rumored to be just that ........ NSS , I'd imagine it would be a difficult and damaging reputation to shake.
