Hi Geeks,
I have just joined SG as I am about to start training. I have enrolled with The Beauty Academy Leeds to do a 2day course in natural nails. This includes 1day doing Mani & Pedi and 1day doing 'Celebrity nails' which I believe is Minx, Trendy and Shellac.
Has anyone trained with The Beauty Academy Leeds? Or can anyone tell me anything that I may need to know before hand.
Thanks in advance.
Kiki. Xx
Hello & welcome
I did my training with The Beauty Academy in Cambridge. I did exactly the same courses as you are going to do.
Please do not worry when I say this, but after I did my course with the Cambridge centre, I came onto SalonGeek and realsied that I may have not got the best training I could have done. The trainers at the Cambridge centre told me that I could use any lamp to cure the Shellac, but I have since learnt that this is not the case, and you MUST have the CND lamp.
I also got told that I could use a hair dryer to apply minx, which I have since learnt is ok, but should really be applied under an infrared lamp. It is Trendy which is applied with a hairdryer
The trainers at your centre may not be the same as mine, so as I said please do not worry.
Since I did my training with The Beauty Academy I have done further training with a CND Ambassador on shellac. I may do another course on minx, but at the moment I do not get call for it and my minx application on toes is fine.
On a positive the manicure and pedicure training I got from The Beauty acadmey seemed like it was fine. I haven't been told anything to contradict what I was told yet- it was only the Shellac and minx training.
The course pace was good and the atosphere was relaxed and friendly. The salon set up was also very good.
Rememebr to take a towel- you'll need one for the pedicure work.
Had I had been on Salongeek before I booked the courses, I would have gone direct to S2 and done the offical Shellac training with them rather than having to do it afterwards.
I hope I have not put you off doing the training. Just enjoy your courses and then see if you need anything else after.
Please don't hate me :sad:
I'm sure your course will be fine
