La respuesta corta es ¡¡¡Por supuesto!!!
¿Por qué?
If you’re reading this you either are or want to be a professional nail technician. The key word here is ‘professional’! This means that you know and understand your role and charge consumers/clients for your skilled services.
Your clients are human beings and you are providing a service on specific areas of their bodies that can have wider ranging implications for them. You MUST have an understanding of the areas of the body you are treating i.e. their hands and feet. You also need to know all about the nail unit.
Sin estos conocimientos, ¿cómo puede prestar servicios seguros y eficaces, reconocer problemas y aconsejar sobre cómo mejorar el estado de la piel y las uñas?
¿Te molestarías en visitar el mostrador de una marca de cuidado de la piel en unos grandes almacenes si pensaras que el asesor no tiene conocimientos sobre el cuidado de la piel o los productos disponibles? ¿Qué sentido tendría? Y este servicio es casi siempre gratuito. Los clientes pagan un buen dinero por SU conocimiento, habilidad y comprensión.
La ciencia de los productos para uñas es clave para dominar
The other part of the ‘science stuff’ is an understanding of the products you’re using. If you know nothing about them how can you explain to your clients why you even use them and convince them you are a good choice for their nail care professional?
Understanding how they work will allow you to troubleshoot when/if your client has a problem. Not after putting a question on Facebook and getting a wide range of answers, or even calling the brand to ask for their advice. But while the client is sitting in front of you!! Not only will you be able to solve the problem instantly, but you will also demonstrate to your client that you know what you’re doing!!
¡¡¡Imagínate que vas a la peluquería a que te tiñan el pelo y se te pone del color equivocado o se te rompe!!! Tu peluquero te dice que vuelvas en un par de semanas para preguntarle a Facebook por qué te ha pasado esto. ¿Lo harías? Claro que no.
NailKnowledge sigue promoviendo el sector de las uñas
He participado en un proyecto benéfico llamado Speakers for Schools. Se trata de un proyecto dirigido a centros de secundaria en el que expertos de muchísimas carreras explican en qué consisten y cómo se puede acceder a ellas.
A big focus of my teachings is that If you fancy joining the hair, beauty, and nails sectors then you must accept that the foundation is the ‘science stuff’. If that fills you with dread then it is time to rethink your chosen career path as it isn’t for you.
El conocimiento de las uñas es clave para su educación y su carrera profesional
A level 2 beauty qualification involves a lot less science than a Level 2 nail qualification. If your education missed out on this, then you had the wrong ´education’. If you don’t want to put the time in for this area of your education, then forget that decision and find something else.
The ‘science stuff’ is non-negotiable. Get over it! Be a professional and know a whole lot more than your clients!
