Whatever the state of the economy beauty conscious women will always find the money to enhance their beauty and strive to look younger. Thatâs what makes a career in the beauty sector more secure than other industries. Where does the Nail Technician stand in all of this and whatâs involved in that particular job?First a little bit of historyThe decoration of finger and toe nails began some 5,000 years ago in Japan. Colour became an important factor when royalty used it to set themselves apart and above others. Thus Egyptian Queens would have their nails coloured gold and silver in contrast to the lower classes who stuck to a much paler palette. There are records of reflexologists in those distant days so it is more than likely that the queen had her own private nail technician. Moving on Well itâs moved on a pace since then with every town in the UK usually having a nail technician hiding round nearly every corner offering; manicures, pedicures, nail extensions in acrylic, gel and fibre glass along with a dazzling array of colours and intricate nail art that would challenge the skills of Van Gogh.What about you?So if you fancy spending time in a creative career that also involves chatting and listening to clients as you âdo their nailsâ then maybe the job of nail technician is the job for you. The great thing is that nails always grow and in doing so create an essential reason for a client to return time after time for âmaintenanceâ as it is called in the lingo of the nail technician.So how do you get trained as a nail technician?There are several ways to get trained but the first decision to make is whether or not you see your career just as a nail technician or whether you see yourself engaging in other beauty Cosmetic Bottles Manufacturers therapies too. If you are looking to treat nails as just part of your job a more general Beauty Therapy course would be more suitable but if you want to specialise as a nail technician then take a specialist course. You can attend a class at a training centre where, alongside everyone else you will receive both theoretical and practical training. If you choose this route make sure you get the full costs clearly defined before you book as often the kit is not included in the listed price.A good alternative is to take a distance learning course that covers knowledge, understanding and practical work with assessment.
