So i did abit of reserch into doing an acrylic nail corse. there was a college one. but was only a 1 day corse. which to me i thought was way to little to be able to learn. so i did some reaserch into an A.S.P corse with sallys. The ladys instore told me id recieve a diploma in nail tencholagy and which will be a nationally recognised qualification. So i thought great! the corse was 4 days long. 2 days with 2 weeks practise time inbetween then the final 2 days.
The things outlined in the corse wernt all covered. like for example we was told we would being leanrning how to apply white acrylic for tips as well as pink and be learning how to do sculpting. But she only taught us how to use the pink acrylic. she basically red through a manual which i feel i could of done myself!.....then we had to practise picking up beads on couch roll.
we wernt shown correct removel of tips like stated we was only told how to do it. we also was only shown a 5-10 min demonstration of applying a white tip and white acrylic.
and i actually had to ask to be shown a sculpting demonstration. So day 4 was test which i sucsessfully passed. admitedly i wasnt all the confident after i had completed the corse and still feel i could be at the same level i am now had i have just practised alone. Only benifit would be me learning the anatomy side of things and contra indications etc.
I then recieved my certificate the other day was very very dissapointed with it. I seriously could of printed it myself it looks like large advertisement for A.S.P not a certificate, no badges at the bottom. no hollogram no mention of a diploma it just simply states i completed an asp traning course and has training certificate on it.
I chose this corse over a college one as i was told it would be a recognised qualification and i would be a qualified nail technicion. I am just realy disspointed with the whole lot and feel ive wasted the money i paid which was. £260 + vat plus around £150 for all the products i needed.
I will try an upload a pic of my certificate for you all to see. Any feedback would be great ty xxx
So i called sallys customer services today who may i add were quite rude to me she asked my name and i told her and she said you put in a complaint against a atraining course yeah. lol i thought oo i must be hot topic of customer services if she new that just from my name lol. any way she responded with. we have 30 days to reply to you. i said i can only go by what trading standerds told me to put and she said wel no we are a buisness and we have 30 days. the information is going in the right order and being investigated you will be contacted within due corse. all of this very snobby. i said ok i will look forward to your reply and will be in touch again by 30 days if i hear nothing. 3 of the other girls have also sent emails regarding the same thing too. So hopefully something happens.
Oh and also the 4th girl had gone down to sallys a couple of days ago with her certificate and they actually said to her. if youve done a manicure and pedicure then your certificate is a qualification but if you havent then you need to go on a mani/pedi course then u can get the qualification
they honestly make it up as they go along!!.
