The risk free way to find our more about Nail Technology Training

Are you interested in doing a Nail Technology course but you need more information first? You want to pursue a career in Nail Technology, but you are not sure which Academy is right for you or you don’t quite know what type of course you should do. If that’s the case then we have the solution for you.

Every month we run an educational, hour long hands-on workshop for people interested in Nail Technology Training. Our next workshop will be held on Thursday the 17th of February from 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm. We would like to invite you to come along and have a cappuccino and some cake with us, meet the team of trainers and get all the info you need about Nail Technology. We will also do hand’s on Gel, Acrylic and Nail Art demo’s. We will even show you how much Nail Tech’s in our area are earning just from seeing 3 – 4 clients a day! There is no cost for attending the workshop and you come under no obligation to sign up.

Just come along, have all your questions answered so that you can make the decision that’s best for you! If you are interested in joining us, send an email to contactus@magneticna.co.za and we will send you a personal invite. We will also have a full Magnetic Nail Academy Portfolio prepared for you on the evening.  (P.S. Feel free to bring along a spouse, partner or friend – just let us know for catering purposes)

How to spot a rubbish Nail Academy

Following on from one of our earlier posts, lets talk a little more about what you should look for in a Nail Academy. The Nail Industry in South Africa has literally exploded and at the moment, there is no governing body overseeing the standards of Nail Training and Nail Technology products. Along with the growth in the Industry has come a a flood of Nail Academy’s with very low standards of training accompanied by very poor and even dangerous products.

So, for your own protection, how can you tell the difference between a professional Nail Academy and an Academy that will take your money but not give you a decent education? Firstly, never buy a Nail Course on price alone. There is a reason why courses are priced so cheap – you always get what you pay for!  Secondly, go visit the Academy and look at the training tools that they use. Find out what type of training hand you will practice on. Remember that a workman is only as good as his or her tools. If the training hand is anything like the picture below, our advice is simple – RUN!

What customers look for in a Nail Tech – Part 2

In part 1 of “What customers look for in a Nail Tech” we spoke about the things that consumers look for when selecting a Nail Tech to do business with. In this weeks post I will share with you the things that consumers don’t like in a Nail Tech.

1. The biggest complaint I received relates to the Nail Tech and her skill when buffing. The ladies said that they hate it when the Nail Tech is rough and buffs the client till they bleed or their fingers hurt the next day. This was the single biggest complaint amongst the ladies and some of then expressed their opinion in no uncertain terms!
2. They hate waiting and having their appointment delayed because the previous customer was late. The ladies believed that the Nail Tech must be strict with late clients because this has an unfair knock on effect.
3. In general, the ladies shared that they don’t like to go to Nail Tech’s who are still in training because they lack confidence and are still too slow.
4. They hate feeling awkward when they walk into a business. Instead they would like to feel at home. Therefore the business must be user friendly, staff must not wait for the client to come to them. The ladies loved it when staff stood up, smiled and came over to the client.

Thank you for making me a better Nail Tech

I attended one of your nail art classes today in Hartbeespoort, and I would like to thank you for one of the best training days I have ever been too.

I found out with a big shock that I have wasted the last 7 years of my nail art and nail tech live because I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NAILS  compared to your standards of education and technique.  I would love to make a huge move and start using only Magnetic. Could you please contact me so that we can set up a date for me to do my conversion training.

Thank you for showing me that I need more training and a strong product company behind me.

Kind regards,

Patrize Carstens

 

What customers look for in a Nail Tech – Part 1

Magnetic was recently asked to help a Nail Tech grow her business. Before making any changes to her business, we interviewed 25 of her customers. We spent an hour and a half with these ladies asking questions about what they like about their Nail Tech, what they didn’t like and why. All the ladies were English and Afrikaans speaking, and they ranged from 17 to 59 years of age. Ninety percent of the women interviewed worked and came from an upper middle class neighbourhood and spent an average of R280 – R320 per visit with their Nail Tech, We spent an hour and a half with the ladies working through a series of questions that could be broken down into two very simple questions, what do you like about your Nail Tech and what do you dislike about your Nail Tech? In this weeks post we will give you some of the answers to the first question.
