Nail Trainer THE ALTERNATIVE TO THE LIVE MODEL BY SUE MARCH Guest columnist Sue Marsh, joint founder and director of the renowned nail design team The Untouchables, concludes her series about learning on the Nail Trainer. This month the subjects are ACHIEVEMENT and COMPANY RESPONSES Achievement - not a word you hear often in our industry. It’s very ‘eighties’, almost seems to belong to the ‘lunch is for wimps’ culture. However for someone on a nail course, it’s hard to think of a word that better defines the quality of the course. If a trainee finishes a course competent and able to build a beautiful set of enhancements in two hours then all would agree it’s a great course. By the same token if the same trainee ends a course incompetent and unable to build a set of extensions in say, four hours – it’s hard to come to any conclusion other than that it’s a bad course. This may seem a harsh way of judging, but for the person buying a course, probably costing several hundred pounds, there’s no other way of deciding whether the money was invested wisely or poured down the drain. The simple test of this is to put yourself in their position. ‘What did I achieve - what did the course deliver’ These are the only things that matter to a trainee. You may feel that it’s unrealistic to think someone can finish a course having achieved a high level of competence. If you’re thinking of someone relying on models you are right. But it can be done, as long as they apply themselves and practice their technique on the Nail Trainer. Lets face it, we all know it takes dozens (some say hundreds!) of sets of nails to become competent. Forget trying to find that many models unless you’ve got a huge family and a couple of years to spare. Build fifty sets of nails in a couple of months on the Nail Trainer and if you’ve applied yourself you will be good. I sincerely believe that for the beginner, it really is the difference between achievement and total frustration. For years trainees only received tuition and products on beginner’s courses. The way of getting practice, the third ingredient without which achievement is impossible, was the live model, provided by the student. So practice couldn’t be promoted, because companies were not in a position to provide it. But things have changed. Since the Nail Trainer was introduced it’s been possible to ensure trainees get the practice they need. Beginners enquiring about courses can be told, ‘you build X number of sets of nails on your Nail Trainer, that’s how you get your practice’. So if someone is buying a nail course they now have two options. Either buy a course with a Nail Trainer included or buy one which provides only tuition and products . What’s happened is that Nail Trainer has created two distinct types of beginner’s course - achievement based, with practice included, and those where trainees are given the task of finding people to practice on. If I was starting again I know which type of course I’d choose. The first thing I’d think about is value for money. If I could get a course that offered unlimited practice for a similar amount of money to one which expects me to find models – forget it, no contest! So what have the nail companies done with this opportunity There tend to be three types of response. Some still believe that beginners should only learn on the real thing. Others use Nail Trainer on their teaching tables but are shy of putting it in their beginner’s kits. Some are fully incorporating the Nail Trainer by providing one to every trainee. For a long time only Creative Nail Design did this. Is it a coincidence that the company responsible for training the highest number of beginners was the first to take this step Of course not. They knew their courses would provide greater value and that their beginners would graduate at a higher standard. They also knew that their repeat product sales would improve. NSI have shrewdly kept a watchful eye on this development, and in January decided that there was significant advantage to be gained by both the trainees and the company by fully incorporating the Nail Trainer. Other companies are considering taking the same route. What does all this teach us Two things - that standards in the nail industry are improving, and that the future direction of training is set. Companies are doing something to ensure their graduates reach a high standard. Fantastic! It’s the most positive development for years, and like all developments that prove successful, it will become the norm. Thanks for reading these articles which I hope you found interesting and thought provoking. 18 | naglar i <strong>norden</strong> mars/april 2008
