Star Nails/Acrygel

[anneself]

Hi
Has anyone trained at THe Nail Company in Weybridge, Surrey? I'm thinking of doing a 2 day course there to start with covering acrylic, fibreglass and gels. I know this is very quick and will need lots of practice. I'm working full time in a school and have checked with my local Creative and biosculpture trainer and there are no courses during my school holidays and I can't take time off during term time, so I feel this is the only way to go.

If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear.

Thanks

Anne

hi Anne,

i havent trained with them - but three systems in two days sounds a bit much. when i trained i did a two day course just for L&P and i had to go away and do alot of learning and research and truth be told i wish i had just gone with a better company in the first place! - if only i had found this site first!

are there no courses running in the 6 weeks holiday! i know this is a bit of a wait but to train with a better company will be worth the wait!

i use acrygel, its the best ive used so far, very gentle on nails, but i get too much lifting and its not a soak off so for those reasons im going to change brand. Probs need better prep training too though.

Let me know how it goes, because i really do like Acrygel and hope in some way i can stay with it and not have to trial loads of other brands.

Everything (except MMA) is gentle on the nails if it's applied properly.

2 days is extremely quick for 1 system! For 3 systems I think it will just lead to confusion. Application and understanding is very different and can just get confused when done at this speed

2 days and 3 systems! That's a joke surely? Think 3 months practice per system to be competent and you will have a better idea.

I've met three amazing people who learnt a new system and created very good nails in one week. But they are very exceptional - some people just have a feel for the material - AND their training was exceptional (I watched Iryna explain each step perfectly) - but three systems in 2 days - forget it. They are simply after your money.

What I would recommend - if five days on one system, plus 1 day every week for two months to perfect your skills - both new sets and rebalancing/infilling.

Well, i did my nail training in my NVQ and that took about 8 weeks or more for that unit and it was rubbish! tbh i reckon if i did a 1 or 2 day course i could learn more!! Firstly the tutors know their stuff as all the teach is nail over and over again and thats their passion and secondly because your paying you work your ass off. Not sure how you will learn the infills and maintenance part though?

A training course is only as good as its teacher. You obviously had a bad teacher!

Tutors on a very short course do NOT necessarily know their stuff as very short courses are so often more about sales than quality training. So many very short courses are advertised as being 'all you need'. Tutors on these courses definitely don not know their stuff as they would know that 2 days is absolutely NOT 'all you need'!!

I am not commenting about the course mentioned on this thread in this instance other than to say that 3 systems in 2 days is an 'introduction' and nothing more.
