I so want this to come to the UK and soon. I had a new client in today who had tried Shellac at another salon. The salon in question also has a Beauty Academy attached which is VTCT and Habia certified. The client had Shellac a couple of months ago. it didn't last so she complained and they agreed to re-do the shellac for free, but it still didn't last.
The Client wondered whether it was just her nails that were the problem and located the CND Shellac information on the internet. Surprise surprise she realised that the salon in question had not done things properly. Oh and by the way, her nails are perfect for Shellac.
She watched me intensely whilst I carried out the treatment and told me that the previous salon had not done a PEP (that was evident 'cos she had a heavy layer of cuticle over the entire nail plate) they had buffed her nails, then wiped nail varnish remover over nail before the base coat (not CND Shellac as it was a different bottle) was applied. Colour coat appeared to be the proper Shellac, but the top coat, once again was not Shellac. Yes, you've guessed it......UV lamp was not CND, solar oil not recommended and she was not given aftercare advice. To add insult to injury when they removed the shellac to re-do for free, they soaked her nails in a bowl of acetone!!
If my client hadn't been the sort of person to check out for herself what a Shellac service should be, she would be another person who didn't believe that Shellac can do what it claims.
So, please S2...lets get the Shellac Salon Certification to the UK and quick!
