Tigi: A Star in the Making

[K-Nails]

Two months ago I wrote a post on here to say that I was giving up acrylics nails due to the fact that no matter what I was not gettingnthem right.

At 44 I refused to carry on doing something that upset me so much and something that I have literally spent hundreds of pounds on. At this point I got an offer from Tigi which was quite AMAZING. Basically she offered me a free days training at her beauty salon if I travelled up to Wales.

Well true to her word that day was today (I've just arrived back inEssex).

Myself and a fellow geek Fena was given a free days training by Tigi and she was possibly the nicest person I have ever met. I can't believe how she sorted out my problems and I came away completely renewed and excited about nails, ready now to improve and go another step forward.

So the moral of this story to all you newbies is RESEARCH in depth before you part with your hard earned cash who you are going to train with. One day to learn acrylic gel mani pedi etc is NOT a good course.

How your trainer teaches you is the key. They have to have passion, be willing to carry on helping you after the course is over. You need to be able to do further training with them.

I've been doing nails for 18 months and only today I really understand where I've been going wrong but NOW I CAN CHANGE IT.



Good luck to all you newbies and do your homework thoroughly before embarking on a nail career. Xxxxx

Thank you girls.

I can't believe someone like Tigi could have done what she did for me and Fena.

My gratitude is to her is overwhelming. I'm going back in summer to do a gel course with her (this time paying her of course).

And one day when I'm really good I'm going to pay it forward to someone who felt like me. Xxxx

What a really lovely thread.

I have the upmost respect for Tigi... She pays it forward and It's so lovely to know you appreciate her selfless deed and I'm thrilled to hear she has helped you so much and given you back your enthusiasm.

She'll be tickled pink when she sees this

I'm off to do three sets of infills today and all her help is buzzing round in my head. I've been awake since 5.30 with excitement despite being dog tired from a manic two day welsh round trip.

God only knows how Tigi keeps going like she does. Fena is still there and coming back tomorrow and I know she will add her gratitude to this thread.

It's a weird feeling when suddenly you understand how to do nails properly.

I was so caught up in doing a thin nail that I had taken it so far that all my clients were lifting or breaking because I had literally not put on any acrylic.

Tigi's filing technique showed me the ultimate strong but sleek nails.

Awesome lady is all I can say. Xxxxx
