Hi there I have just recently qualified and am looking for quality but reasonably priced suppliers as I need all the basic equipment before I can even start working from home. Can anybody offer any advise on the best suppliers for me? Thanks xxx
 
Just type into google "beauty wholesalers in Durham" and this will show you all your local ones, hth :hug:

if you are wanting to buy on line www.ecno-med.com are reasonable.
 
I have just qualified as a nail technician and am wanting to find suppliers for all the basics to work from home. I have looked but as I am not very experienced I don't know what products are the better ones to use and where to get these at reasonable prices. Thanks for your help Lucy xxxx
 
What products were you using during training?
You could carry on using them, I am sure whoever you trained with will supply products.

If you want to change then you can check out the distributors and Training schools in the links section here on site.

What system is it you use ...acrylic (L&P) or gel?

Do you need absolutely 'everything' i.e. tools , desk, lamp etc.....loads of threads already on about where to get all of these...just make yourself comfy and search away on here!!

If you could fill out your profile, it would save me sounding as though I am interrogating you lol :lol:
 
I have just qualified as a nail technician and I need to purchase all the basics to enable me to start working from home. I have looked for suppliers but as I am not very experienced I dont really know the best products and equipment to buy and where to buy it from that is also reasonably priced. I would be very grateful for advise on what are the best products to buy and where to buy them from. Thank you for your help Lucy xxx
 
Hi, in one of your previous posts you said you were training from home. If you fill in your profile a bit more with your training and who it was with then people can advise you better as systems like CND and EzFlow L&P's need their conversion courses before you can purchase them :hug::hug:

Hi Lucy, give Sweet Squared in Leeds a call and request a catalogue which they will be happy to send to you. Or you can take a peek at www.sweetsquared.com ... you can browse the catalogue there but not view prices at the moment.

A quick phone call to 08452106060 and they will let you know prices and send out the hard copy of the catalogue.

You will need to fax, scan, or send a photocopy as proof or your training as they only sell to professionals.

I should have been clearer I meant their professional products like powders, monomers etc rather than polish and mani/pedi products, sorry :o

This information is a little misleading.

You must do a conversion class before youcan buy any of the Pro Use Only products like L&P or Gel.

For all other CND products like retail things and polish and tools and uniforms and other such things, you can buy whatever you want without CND training ... they only need to see your certificate.
 
What products did you train with? And do you do silk, gel or l&p?
I use star nails for silk, the edge for acrylic and my varnishes are attitudes and opi.

Hi thank you all for your help I am bordering on being qualified just waiting for certificates to come through so when they do I shall look into suppliers again as it looks like from what you have been saying that I need to produce certificates etc to buy from reputable sellers which is a good thing i suppose as it stops the wrong people getting there hands on things they know nothing about and causing people damage.
Anyway I have filled out my profile to the best of my ability I am completely useless with computers had no idea you could fill out such a thing as a profile but now I know its interesting browsing other peoples actually.
I could purchase my products etc from the suppliers my trainer uses but I am just not sure the products are that great but I have been looking through other threads and it looks like ezflow maybe a possible root to go down for l&p. Anyway thanks for all your help. Lucy :hug: xxxx
 
Oh ps sorry about this thread in my lack of ability to use a computer I seem to have done the same thread three times all in one not sure how I did it but it looks like I am going slightly crazy :o so sorry for any confussion. Thanks again Lucy xxx
 
What brand of product did you train with ?
