Which Acrylics???

[lolaw]

I currently use Calgel and although i found some problems with it to start I am getting there with it. I still have loads of clients asking me for Acrylics and was thinking of offering both. First do you think it's a good idea to do both and secondly which Acrylic course do you recommend? I'm based in Scotland so prefereably a course near me? Any suggestions would be great x

I was (and still am lol) a confident fibreglass and Brisa gel user, I did my L+P conversion to Creative in April and find that it's better to be able to offer all 3 systems, so I would definitely recommend doing an L+P conversion.
Creative have educators in Scotland, Fiona Wallace is a sub distributor for Creative and also a member of the site, drop her a private message for more info and she'll send you all of the relevant details re their courses.

I guess I've been in the industry long enough to see the swings & roundabouts a few times.

For years L&P is THE thing and then gels have a little surge and then the L&P comes back round again as all the gel users want to learn it (sensible as L&P is still the most widely used and asked for system).

I to believe that a professional should do all systems equally well if she/he wants to be of service to all clients.

Recently I have had a big surge of gel users wanting to learn L&P.

You are used to using a high quality gel product and your clients will expect the same from you with the L&P system you choose. There is none better than Creative/CND which I'm sure you already know. It also requires a delicate touch more like gel so you should find it very easy to learn with. Other L&P systems require a more heavy handed approach both in application and preparation. Quite different to gel.

Speak to Fiona Wallace (geek) or email her at [email protected] and she will send you all course information. Apart from being excellent at what she does ... she is a lovely person and you cannot fail to like her and her wonderful team.

what has been said already is sound advice. There is defnalty ups and downs as far as demand goes for all 3 systems and to be able reach every clients needs i woud try and offer acrylics aswell and creative is far the best in my opinion. try and get fiberglass / silk under your belt to. I do them they are fairly popular as i am the only one in my area who does them. good USP xx

 

[lolaw]

That's sound advice. Didn't think about doing silk/fibreglass. Will eventually but think I'll take one step at a time. Thanks again x
