Why do women go to salons where technicians hurt your nails. Why do women sacrifice the price verse the quality..
Why dont women who get there nails done want to ask questions about sanitation and get themselfs educated nails is part of your body. You can get AIDS if a salon isn't clean...
Why do women not realize that some salons are not safe?
Adhesion is not everything especially if they are using an illegal chemical (MMA) . which eventually deteriates your nail bed.
Why dont they complain to the state board every state has a website you just search for it online and file a complaint. Which no one doesWhy do women keep on going back to nail salons where the technicians are uneducated?
So they look good for a low price.Why do women keep on going back to nail salons where the technicians are uneducated?
it's normal to go every once in a while on special occasion, why do people drive when there's a chance they're gonna crash?
Because people dont care about the safety. They just think about the price...and usualy its cheap when you go to a tech school/college etc.
I personally want someone who knows that their doing....and sanitize their items.
For your information most women do ask questions about the tools that they use. I know I do.
I guess some women don't want to take the time to research something that could impact their health, or don't know how to do this research, or are just trusting in their luck and immune systems to protect them. This would be the same reason that people still use tanning beds, even though it increases their chances of getting skin cancer.

How to apply uv gel false nails properly with out going to a technician. i have all the right gear?
APPLYING THE GEL EXTENSION FORMS
1. Get out one gold gel form.
2. Cut the back of form with your straight scissors - at the other end fold at #7 on the form and pinch together at the very tip.
3. With your index finger and thumb, squeeze the form and gently slide it up under the real nail. When the form is in place make sure to squeeze the sides of the gold form together so it sticks to the finger.
APPLYING THE BASE GEL TO GET THE EXTENSION
4. Now it is time for the Base Gel. To apply Angel Love Nail Extension, hold the nail at a downward angle. Starting in the center of the nail just below the cuticle, place a small drop of Base Gel keeping the bottle at an angle.
5. Run a narrow line of Base Gel down center of the nail to the length of the form you desire. Go across at the number length you desire. Go across the end and up both sides of the nail making sure there is a nice even coat of gel covering the entire nail.
6. Turn nail upside down, check all 5 angles of the nail.
7. If your nail and extension pass inspection, quickly put in front of UV lamp. If there is no heat within 10 seconds with lamp in up position, then set nails in lamp.
8. Lower lamp half way down if no heat within 10 seconds. Then, close lamp down for another 1-2 minutes.
9. Take extension form off gently. If not fully cured under extension, 0put back in lamp with nail upside down. Cure for additional 1 minute. Take out.
FINISHING THE EXTENSION
10. Now, with your file, gently shape the top of your new nail, making sure it is smooth.
11. Remember when you have a good base, the final product will look much better.
12. Use your nailbrush to clean off around the cuticle and the nail. Use your dome duster to dust off hands and clean your area free from nail dust.
13. Now you are ready to apply color tips, white tips, glitter tips. Let your imagination go!
BUILDER FINISH
1. Put a small line of BUILDER FINISH down the center of the nail. Use your gel brush to brush a Flow Coat over the entire nail.
2. Holding the nail at a downward angle, put a line down the center of the nail so that layer #1 is even with the bulk of your product in layer #2.
3. Now, turn the nail upside down so you can see where the builder settles. Using the corner of the gel brush, pull the gel from the high spots into the low spots to equalize the gel. Make sure you have a nice arch from the cuticle to the end of the nail and then from side to side (this is called the C-Curve).
4. Lower lamp halfway down if no heat in 10 seconds. Close the lamp down to lowest height and cure for two minutes.
FINAL STEPS
1. Use your electric nail file and toothpick bit to clean under the nail.
2. Use the file in the filesaver to finish shaping the nail.
3. Dust off with nailbrush.
4. Apply cuticle oil.
5. Apply hydrating massage cream.How to apply uv gel false nails properly with out going to a technician. i have all the right gear?

Gel Nails vs Acrylic, HELP! Any recommendations for nail technicians near SW17?
I'm really confused!! I got my nails done for the very first time at Christmas. I asked for gel but I'm not sure that's what I got after reading up about them. It was applied as a powder %26amp; liquid but I did then have to put my hands under a uv light to finish it off, but all in all it only took about 1/2 hour. How can I find a qualified nail technician near SW17 to go to as I want to get them taken off, would they be able to tell the difference of what is on my nails? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Gel Nails vs Acrylic, HELP! Any recommendations for nail technicians near SW17?
If you asked for gel nails, and got charged for gel nails, then they got the best of you - and your money if the gel nails were more costly than acrylic nails. Its unfortunate but this happens a lot to unsuspecting women who want gel nails, but end up just getting acrylic nails with a UV gel topcoat. It's not your fault though. You now know what to look for, I assume. I'll just give you a a few pointers about gel nails, and what to look for when getting them.
First of all, about the appearance of nail gels. As you probably could already figure out yourself, UV gel has the look and consistency of a hair gel. It comes in a wide variety of colors, and there are various viscosities of gel which are used for different areas of the nail - but that last part isn't something that you need to be concerned about. Here is what top quality UV gels look like:
http://www.cnd.com/Home/homelink-consume鈥?/a>
UV gels are never a powder. If the tech uses ANY liquid and powder, you are getting acrylic nails, not gel nails.
The rule of thumb for gel nail application is that they are easy to do, but difficult to master. You would be best off by going to a tech who has a good deal of experience doing UV gel nails, and is highly skilled at it.
BTW, a highly skilled tech will usually take about an hour and a half to apply a full set of UV gel nails. A tech who takes a half hour to do either UV gels, or acrylics is skipping steps and taking many shortcuts to do it in such a short time. Avoid this type of tech, and salons who have these tachs working for them. They are notorious for ruining your nails, and usually do a poor quality job on your nails.
The gels are applied in several thin layers which need to be individually cured under a UV lamp for about two minutes each layer. The final layer is usually either a UV gel topcoat, or a UV gel sealer which is also cured for about two minutes. Either one will provide a high gloss finish on your nails which will last for a week or two at least. Don't file or buff UV gel nails because that will ruin the shine of the gels, and if you file the tips, it will destroy the 'seal' that the gel has formed between your natural nails, and the gel itself. This could lead to seperation of the gel from the nailplate, and that is not what you want!
UV gels are non-porous. What this means in terms of removal is that they cannot be soaked off the same way that acrylics can be because the acetone will not penetrate the surface of the gel. UV gels nails must be filed off by a tech who is highly skilled, and has removed UV gels quite a bit already. Going to an unskilled tech could easily turn out to be a disaster for your nails because it it difficult to tell exactly where the gel ends, and your natural nails begin. Only a very experienced tech can do this without ruining your nails. Don't ever let a tech pry them off, tear them off, or force them off in any way. This will cause you not only a lot of unnecessary pain or discomfort, but it WILL also damage your nails- sometimes severely.
I'm sorry, but I do not know where SW17 is. But, I can give you a link to a site which has a salon locator. This page is on Creative Nail Design's website. CND is a leading provider of professional acrylic and gel products, and has been in business longer than any other nail company in existence. ALL of the techs/salons on this page have been company trained, and company certified PRIOR to their being placed on this list so you can rest assured that you will be in the hands of a well qualified technician.

Nail technicians Help me please?
Ok so ive decided that i want to be a nail technician, and what to find a course suitable for me, i have a two year old son so classroom courses arent really an option.
I have looked at a website called www.essentialnails.com its a home study course and they offer different courses, its roughly around 拢500 to do a gel nail and maintance course, then 拢200 for the nail art course and 拢300 to do the airbrush course aswell, it will be about 拢1000 in total to do. (plus i get a free spray tan kit worth 拢120) Do you think this is quite dear?
I can do gel nails perfect i have been doing them since i was 15 (im 20 now) but i actually want a certificate so i can work in a salon, or start a mobile business.
Is there any other sites that is a bit cheaper?Nail technicians Help me please?
Your not going to be able to do courses online. They won't be recongized by the state board(Which you need to go through to get your license.). It's a hands on experiance, and you need certain amount of class time hours, and requirements. Besides, You have to take the entire Nail Tech course for so many hours(Depends on your state.), Not just one different course.Nail technicians Help me please?
You can get it in college, just loking the best college for you1...

Nail technicians ??
i have been having pink%26amp;white or acrylic tips for about a year, i used to have them b4 but the past year i have them constantly, off and new set put str8 on every 2 weeks. i just hate having short nails and no patience to grow my own.. anyway i was just wondering now if i took them off how damaged are my real nails?? i tried asking the salon i get them done but they dont really speak englishNail technicians ??
Unfortunately, acrylic nail tips, although very attractive, do no favours for your real nails underneath.
I would guess that your real nails, after having acrylics applied on top of them for about a year, will be considerably worse for wear. However, all is not lost! You just need the patience to nurse them back to health and to cope with them being short for 6 months or so.
If you're going to go back to your real nails, you will need to have them manicured regularly and give them lots of TLC yourself too!
Hope this helps.

Employment for nail technicians!?
I am seriously considering to take a course in nail technology coz it seems to be an interesting job option. I wud like to hear from students who have completed this course or are currently pursuing it (or having friends that are)about the pros and cons and the job oppurtunities.Also any other suggestions for a career in the beauty field is highly appreciated.I just wanna be real sure before i make the plunge!Thanks a lot!
p.s. i live at madison wi. Jus wanna add that incase it ll help with personal info from this areaEmployment for nail technicians!?
I became a nail technician many years ago and my advice is DON'T DO IT! I live in California and the competition here is horrendous. In the first year, I spent more money on supplies than I could actually make. Maybe your area is different , but in California there a too many foreign ran ';chop shops'; that does nails REALLY cheap. The average person can't compete with them. I got out of the business and went to nursing school instead. Explore your options! They are not paid by the hour usually. Usually, you pay rent to the salon for your space.Around here, that is about 250.00 per month. Then it is up to you to get your clients. Out of the money you make from your clients, you have to pay for all of your own supplies and somtimes your own phone line and advertising. It is very hard to find ongoing clients as an inexperienced nail tech. It can work differently by working directly for the salon,they pay for certain things, but I'm not sure it would work out much better as you would have to pay them a percentage of you income. I have never found a salon that pays by the hour. Hope that helps!Employment for nail technicians!?
It is very, very hard to make a living as a nail tech. Why? Because of the time it takes to do a good job, and the high product cost cuts into your hourly production. For instance, if you charge $15 for acrylic refills, $5 of that is product cost, and you are still giving a hefty cut of the remaining $10 to the shop. You have just made $5 for 30-45 mins work. Plus, you deal with feet all day if you are not doing hands. I would go to cosmetology or massage school if you want to work in a spa or in the beauty business.
Hi,
I started my own business while in Massage school through BeautiControl, it's an excellent company. Now both my business I created and my massage career work great together. The products are absolutely wonderful and the parties are fun and relaxing. I love all the products, and they have a very large variety to choose from. Please check out their site, it says $179 to join, but this month there is a $179 rebate offer, so it's like joining for free. Amazing offer if your serious about building a business for yourself. When the site prompts you to find a consultant my number is 1029211, or email me at turbin_barbie@yahoo.com for more information.
Good Luck!

Any nail technicians out there advice pls or beauty therpists?
Im wanting to get some acrylic nails done but Im a serious nail biter with very little nail bed, this is the only way I can grow my nails but Im too embaressed to go to a salon and get them done as Im worried they may turn me away as my nails are badly bitten. I have had acrylic before but my nails are worse since I had them applied last time. what should I do? there is some nail bed and I do wear the false nails you apply at home but they are crap. would there be any reason a nail tech wouldnt work on my nails? Iis it best to go to a salon or get a mobile nail tech to come to me? xAny nail technicians out there advice pls or beauty therpists?
If you can apply false nails then there is enough of a nail bed for your salon to do it. However, I cannot guarantee that you wont have someone that will give you a tiny telling off about biting your nails. The only reason why they might not work on your nails is if your biting had caused any infection to the nail which would only be made worse by sticking an acrylic nail over it. Be brave and go to the salon, it will be a lot cheaper than getting someone to come to you. Good luck :-)Any nail technicians out there advice pls or beauty therpists?
A good nail tech won't turn away a nail biter, they could be one of their best clients, they are the ones that need more maintenance than anyone with half decent nails, so don't be silly and go and get them done. There is obviously enough nail bed if you can apply false nails, and they can give you a slight application to make your nail bed longer, you apply a slight amount of acrylic so that they can get the nail form under and then continue in a normal way...
Go get them done just think what they will look like afterwards.
Been there... I felt as you do and sucked it up, went and had ';silk nails'; which look more realistic, and your nails will grow. Then have the salon remove the nails (they'll have to be soaked in a solution) And...Voilla! You have your own home grown nails!!! :) P.S. A tech did badger me once about biting my nails and I told her if I had the answer I wouldn't need to come to her, and I never went back to her again. Went to her competitor.
I have arcrylic nails on and have bitten my nails for years,they won't tell you off,at the end of the day you are paying their wages so they will welcome you.You have to get infills every 3-4 weeks and it can be quite expensive but they do look nice.Go on treat yourself.
good question ... may tell u later
Honey, I was a nail technician back in the day. For money a nail technician will do Fido's paws! In my reasoning I would assume that is why yu step foot in my shop in the first place. If you are so self conscious of it. Start taking care of your nails yourself for a little bit, maybe they just need to breathe anyway from you always smothering them under all of that embalming fluid and glue. There is all types of information, on how to pamper your fingernails. First of all stop biting your nails when you think about biting them just think you will be further and further away from your nail shop visit for sculptured nails. You dont have to bite your nails! Because I know I stopped. Find some other past time. You have too much time on your hands! You get it now?!! Time on your own hands. Put up a picture, reflect on that picture and imagine your hands looking like that, who knows you may be one of those people who can grow some of the longest beautiful nails and never need to get that fake stuff anyway. I'm not knocking the nails I'm just more into natural stuff. You Can Do It. Stop Biting. If you decide to go to the nail shop and that person has a problem with your little nail bed, just ask them if they have a problem? No professional should make anyone feel bad. At least this is what I was taught in cosmetology school. (Beauty School) whatever you want to refer to it as.
you may want to consider going to visit a dermatologist first and see what they have to say.
If you can apply false nails then there is enough of a nail bed for your salon to do it. However, I cannot guarantee that you wont have someone that will give you a tiny telling off about biting your nails. The only reason why they might not work on your nails is if your biting had caused any infection to the nail which would only be made worse by sticking an acrylic nail over it. Be brave and go to the salon, it will be a lot cheaper than getting someone to come to you. Good luck :-)Any nail technicians out there advice pls or beauty therpists?
A good nail tech won't turn away a nail biter, they could be one of their best clients, they are the ones that need more maintenance than anyone with half decent nails, so don't be silly and go and get them done. There is obviously enough nail bed if you can apply false nails, and they can give you a slight application to make your nail bed longer, you apply a slight amount of acrylic so that they can get the nail form under and then continue in a normal way...
Go get them done just think what they will look like afterwards.
Been there... I felt as you do and sucked it up, went and had ';silk nails'; which look more realistic, and your nails will grow. Then have the salon remove the nails (they'll have to be soaked in a solution) And...Voilla! You have your own home grown nails!!! :) P.S. A tech did badger me once about biting my nails and I told her if I had the answer I wouldn't need to come to her, and I never went back to her again. Went to her competitor.
I have arcrylic nails on and have bitten my nails for years,they won't tell you off,at the end of the day you are paying their wages so they will welcome you.You have to get infills every 3-4 weeks and it can be quite expensive but they do look nice.Go on treat yourself.
good question ... may tell u later
Honey, I was a nail technician back in the day. For money a nail technician will do Fido's paws! In my reasoning I would assume that is why yu step foot in my shop in the first place. If you are so self conscious of it. Start taking care of your nails yourself for a little bit, maybe they just need to breathe anyway from you always smothering them under all of that embalming fluid and glue.

Tipping Nail Technicians?
Okay, so I go get my nails done about every week, and generally go to different places. I'm a waitress, so I'm used to tipping others well. However, when I tip my nail people they never seem grateful and generally seen disappointed. Am I not tipping enough?
Example: Yesterday, I got a normal manicure, $15 and tipped $5.
Generally I get french tips, and it costs $30, so I tip $8.
Is this not enough?Tipping Nail Technicians?
Okay by most standards you are overtipping.
I tip about the same as you and sometimes (it depends on the salon) the people seem so ungrateful.
So i just dont go to them anymore
Its so frustrating when they dont even acknowledge that im putting a tip on their table. I feel like they will talk about me the second i walk out of the salon.
That isnt the experience i want when im paying 30 dollars or sometimes more to get my nails done.
Best bet is to try a few salons like youre doing and keep going back to the good ones (that means quality and customer service )Tipping Nail Technicians?
i honestly think u r overtipping. i've seen people tip way less. if they seem like they are not happy, too bad for them. they should be lucky they are getting a tip, i'm more than sure that there are some people that don't even tip.

My fingernails r broken, split, n cracked. Should I do what a nail technician says?
I saw a nail technician %26amp; got a manicure last week to see if they knew what I should do about my stupid-looking fingernails. The technician says I should let her apply a layer of acrylic coating to each fingernail. She says it'll look just like healthy, natural nails and that she could keep them looking good (without being the least bit shiny) if I came back every few weeks.
OMG! What! Suspicion makes me worry about being scammed.
I just want to have ordinary, average looking hands.
Should I trust what she says?
Does this seem ok to anyone who knows about this stuff?
Will it look ';just like natural'; the way she says?
What's the good n bad in this whole thing?
I'm otherwise good in my health. So it's not a diet thing. My doc says I've just got the hands I've got.My fingernails r broken, split, n cracked. Should I do what a nail technician says?
She could be just wanting you as a client, but It will most likely help them. Acrylic is just a clear coating on the top of the nail. It is used to make the nail stronger. When People talk about acrylic nails. The ones you think are ';fake looking'; they also get white tips attached underneath the acrylic.
If you are willing to pay the price then It will probably make them feel better.
My best advice is to go in and try it once. If you like it then continue with it if not, go to another manicurist and ask her to take it off. You have to soak your fingers in acetone for the acrylic to come off without further hurting your nail. but a manicurist should be able to do this very easily.
Good LuckMy fingernails r broken, split, n cracked. Should I do what a nail technician says?
superglue them

Any Nail Technicians in Nova Scotia and Ontario???
My wife is doing Nail in the USA now,but we're going to immigrate to Canada soon and would like to know is it easy to find a Nail Technician jobs in or around Halifax,NS,Ottawa,On OR around Toronto areas?Which city do you think is best and easy to make money as a Nail Technician,in terms of Ottawa is colder than Halifax and around Toronto areas,does it effect the Nail Businesses at all in terms of the cold weather???Thanks for your help.Any Nail Technicians in Nova Scotia and Ontario???
Should improve business since the cold will make the nails brittle. Any of those cities have customers and beauty salons offer the service, so if your wife doesn't want to establish her own business, then she can probably get on with a salon.
I'm not sure which of the three cities is colder. Toronto is a humid cold since the lake is open all year (and it is huge). Ottawa meanwhile gets a fair bit of wind and Halifax has the open ocean to provide humidity resulting in significant snowfalls at times. Welcome to Canada. If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes.makeup gas mask

Nail technicians out there! Problem with acrylic.?
Hi. I have a technician that does my nails at home. I like her designs very much and the first set of nails was wonderful. Unfortunately, just after taking a shower before bed time, I noticed that the acrylic was lifting at the nail bed. She did do some buffing and applied primer. This never happend to me before when serviced by other technicians. I'm wondering if she's doing something wrong or if the acrylic she's using is poor quality. I don't no what brand it is.
I'd like recommendations on best brands of acrylic and any other suggestions. I've thought of buying my own product and ask her to use it instead. Thanks!Nail technicians out there! Problem with acrylic.?
There can be a few reasons why they are lifting...product too thick, too close to the cuticle, or she my have not prepped the nail bed properly for the application of the acrylic. More than likely it's not the product it's the nail tech. I've been using the same brand for 10 yrs Creative nail...and no problems You might want to find a new nail techNail technicians out there! Problem with acrylic.?
creative nail design is the best, imho. lifting can happen for several reasons. nothing to stress about. just make sure you take the nails off completely after about 6 weeks and make sure you have no fungus.
It has to do with her technique and not properly prepping the nail.

Advice from nail technicians? x?
I'm very interested in nails, and am thinking about enrolling on a course for next year. I was just wondering, when acrylic nails are done in a nail salon, can anyone give me the step-by-step procedure used and what type of products, as I would like to practice at home. Also, how long does it take to qualify?
thank-you xAdvice from nail technicians? x?
you can buy sets with the nails and the acrylic liquid and the powder from big stores, like target and kmart
go and get your nails done one time and its easy to watch and learn how to do it
a quick description ?
clean hands, files the nails and make them even, glue the tips on and put primer on the nails, then apply the acrylic using a brush and then once dry buff it down smooth and then appy gel on top or a clear nailpolish

Why do nail technicians wear personal protective equipment?
why do nail technicians wear pop socksWhy do nail technicians wear personal protective equipment?
In case you get pissed off at them and decide to attack them with your nails like a cat.Why do nail technicians wear personal protective equipment?
U have to wear not protective but its for heath and safety u cant have exposed feet i don't really know why but that is probably why they wear pop socks. And they have those face masks on to cover there mouth so that desk and nail chippings don't go in there mouth.
Its all to do with health and safety

Why are most nail technicians of Asian descent?
This is just a guess, but I would say word of mouth about how good business is among their friends and family.Why are most nail technicians of Asian descent?
The only way they can get out of their country is to have work ready for them here so when one leaves they work super hard hard workin and getting that license, so when they need mama and em' to come over here the son't have to worry about they gone do or how they gon get money.
i've seen black and white people do nails but i think i was watching a show and it was an exclusive nail and spa place.Why are most nail technicians of Asian descent?
because its a socializing job and they like to talk to people and make money good way to learn english cause most of them imigrated
Following the crowd, connections, etc etc, it's a domino effect.
1. Because they care how there hands look.
2. Industrious business mind-filling a need.
3. They are fine. Yes I said it.
i'm not sure, but i've always wondered that and these are great answers.
They have tiny hands.
it depends on where you live.
