Perfect Your Passion at Nail Technology School

Published: November 14, 2008

I don't have a problem with nail techs who studied at a general cosmetology school and, therefore, have a cosmetologist's license that permits them to do hair, nails and skin care. But when some of them do your nails, you can tell that th

ey'd rather be doing your hair. People who go to a nail technology school attend fewer hours of class and receive a more limited license that permits them to do nails only. Because nails are their passion, often they create a very special experience for the client.

I don't know where my nail tech went to school, but she has a dedication to getting my nails perfect—not good enough, but perfect. I don't have to tell her if a little polish creeps onto the skin, because by the time I notice it she's already correcting the problem. She's also helpful when I choose a color, because she knows which polishes are sheer and which are opaque. The hand and arm massage she gives me is amazing, too. I can see the skill and care that go into her movements.

I tip her very well; it's worth it to me. I type a lot and use my fingers constantly! A lesser manicure would have my nails chipping within days, but a week later my manicure is still in good shape. If you love doing nails, attend either a nail technology school or a regular cosmetology school, and then share your gift with people who will appreciate it!
