Recommendations for nail courses pls!

[heavenly_hel]

Hello lovely geeks! It has been a while since i posted!

I am studying for NVQ level2 in beauty therapy and i now want to do some nail extension courses.

I have found quite a few 1/2 day courses at Capital hair and beauty. Would a course recognised by BABTAC & Professional Beauty be ok? Could please tell me what i should be looking for when booking a nail course and should i go for acrylic/fibreglass/silk etc?????

Thanks in advance, Hel xx

I'm not sure about the insurance question but I am sure somebody else would be able to help with that.

In my area everyone wants acrylic nails. Nobody seems to know (or want to know!) what fibreglass/silk nails are. So unless your area is different, I would go for acrylic or gel, hths:hug:

If doing artificial nails I wouldn't go for a short 1 to 2 days course. Learning Nails really is a journey and there is no quick remedy.

I would recommend CND foundation course in L&P as an Industry option or NVQ level 2 in nail treatments as a college alternative. Once proficient in L&P you can do conversion courses for Gels etc. This is only my opinion and I would ask around to see what other techs have found useful. Enjoy!!

This course shown made me laugh...IN NO TIME YOU LL BE PERFORMING A SET OF NAILS IN AN HOUR!!!

Id be very interested to know if any nail tech on here performed a set in an hour so soon after their training,and Id also be interested to know who uses an acrylic thats odourless???....And on top of it , you can then go out and buy any product and use it,.....yeh exactly what I done when I done my intensive course, and wasted loads of money because I wasnt trained in the products....What other crap does this company tell if you ask me?:Scared:
