Hello ladies, sorry if this is not meant to be here. (Just downloaded the app so my technology skills are not quite tip top!) and be warned it is a long one.
Here goes, I'm qualified in Acrylics, spray tanning & gel polish. So r Christmas my hubby decides to send me away on a semi permanent lash course. We live in Germany (army!) so I had to organist travel. I was a bit concerned with the course organization but I couldn't cancel. Hubby had paid about £230 including the kit.
So I've flown & booked a hotel. I arrive to the course, which is in the lady's house. The owner of the company wasn't present as she was on holiday so another lady was teaching.
She openly admitted that she had only trained (no longer than 12 months ago!) and that she was the owners worst student as she couldn't do it.
The course went like this...Go trough the manual that was sent, contraindications, health & safety & application. The work place wasn't at all salon like, it was quite messy if I'm honest.
Then we had a little practice on a training head, the 4 of us had to share. Then we were told & shown how to load our lashes on tape which we then went on to use on each other. We did 2 hours each on fellow student model. I have short straight lashes & the poor girl could only get 4 on me in 3 hours. Was not told to use a different lash (I need L curl!) was not explained that different lashes need different sizes & curls. We did not do a full set; then we had to help clean up her house!
So didn't get a full set in, told to go away & do a case study; full set then infills 2 weeks later & some written work. Then we will get certification!
The kit is crap...Which I found for 10 quid on eBay...My hubby paid £85 for it.
I'm not utterly convinced the girl that taught us was trained to teach.
What can I do? Where do I stand?
I'm annoyed because my husband was trying to be a good man & he didn't know what to look out for (I would have gone with lash fx or LVL)
So I feel bad for him when I had to tell him that the course wasn't up to scratch & he now feels deflated.
This lady is a con artist that's my gut feeling! Help! Xxx
