What damage could you as a nail technician do if you didnt understand anatomy on the hands and feet?

im in urgent need of some helpWhat damage could you as a nail technician do if you didnt understand anatomy on the hands and feet?
if you did a proper course as a nail tech you should of been advised all of this. I did a hair and beauty course a while ago and althought i didn't complete it the first thing we were taugh was when not to do a procedure on a client. Contra-indications!!!!!! there's aload of them.What damage could you as a nail technician do if you didnt understand anatomy on the hands and feet?
You could stain the color of someone's nails...pemanently (it's not that hard to do..I almost did it once myself). Or screw up the orthopedics of someones hands (ie. by using specific nail shapes/sizes that just never work). The infection thing is also true.





Apart from that though, you'd just be a bad nail technician.





You could confuse someone's hands for their feet?
Dont put too much faith in these courses, i make A LOT of money at home doing it on the side with all the proper equipment, and i dont know anything about the anatomy. Good Luck Chick!
Extreme laceration? It depends on how mentally stable the nail technician is.
You could induce a fungal nail infection if, say, you put acrylics on a wet nail bed.

  • What do I need to do to become a nail technician?

    Phone up your local colleges and ask for a prospectus and see if they do a beauty or nail course. Most of the colleges should do an adult learners course in the evening, if you work full time. You should get a qualification for these courses, but check with your local college and see.


    After you have a qualification the world is your oyster! Good luckWhat do I need to do to become a nail technician?

    a jack hammer
    I would want my nail technician to have taken a course over a period of time, and to have something to prove she/he knows what she/he is doing.





    Good luck!
    You can do a night course over a 6 month period but if you want to work in a beauticians maybe you should go to beauty school a learn everything .
    let me guess, you have straight blonde hair, fake st.tropez tan, jeans that show your stretchmark belly, you live with your mummy, you have a boyfriend who has a fiesta and you live on a council estate. Right? I bet a few of those things are. The place where I live is full of people like that. Your question just reminded me that's all. Answer to your question, do a one day's course and already you'll be qualified. *lol* A deeply meaningful career.
    It may depend on in which state you live. Some require a license, but you will need to go to school to learn the techniques, either way.
    Go to beauty school.
    You must be aware that different jobs require different types of nails - I'd say the MINIMUM you need is a good hammer and a selection of nails.
    A claw hammer
    Hands and eyes!
    Go to either a technical school or a cosmetology college. Check out the various ones in your area as the prices may greatly vary. You may be able to get grants too. Ask students what they think of the schools, they are very honest about the education they are getting. You could also do an apprenticeship at a nail salon if the owner is licensed to teach you. Sometimes, they will just be in it for the $ they'd be making off of you, so you have to be careful of that. Good luck.
    It can be done in less than a year. Some people need to work through Cosmetology school so they take the two year course. I would just get it done in a year. Buckle down and go to school and work. Lot's of girls did it when I was in Coz school. Every state is different in their requirements for being a nail tech. In Michigan, you have to go to Cosmetology school. Pass. Pay for and take a state board exam (written and practical). Pass that and then pay and apply for your licence.


    It sounds harder than it is.
    go to cosmetology school.
    Don't bite them!
    you have to go and do a Manicure course then from then you can take alot of different courses of nail extensions, nail art things like that you get silk and fiberglass nails which i am trained in also gel, Acyrlic, Sulpture ect go to you nearest college which does beauty they usally hold night courses.
    I've got an ebook you can have.

    I want to do nvq level 1 and 2 in being a nail technician, but i dont want to go to college?

    can i do this from home and get an nvq?I want to do nvq level 1 and 2 in being a nail technician, but i dont want to go to college?
    Nail technician? hahahaha, the job titles you can get now........


    Is that the same as a manicurist? I expect you have to go to college because surely you have to do practicing on nails and someone has to watch you to assess how well you are doing it.


    What's so bad about college anyway?

    Does anyone know if a nail technician makes good money?

    does anyone know if a nail technician makes good money and if anyone likes dong it as a career or part time job im goin to school to become a nail technician any advise would help thanksDoes anyone know if a nail technician makes good money?
    no they dont. on average in the US, they make between 10,000 and 25,000 full time a year. which is not enough.





    i would reccomend you look into a differant career.





    if you are looking into a 2 year degree, the best two fields to get into right now are assistant nurse and assistant dentist.Does anyone know if a nail technician makes good money?
    yes they do.





    My boss' sister and law does it for a living. He says she makes about 2k a week. Including tips. If you work at a nice nail salon, you should expect a good amount of money flowing in :)
    i made a 1000$ in two weeks at my family nail salon %26amp; and thats without adding the tips. i didnt liked the job itself, i just did for the money.

    Hi ive not long had a baby and would love to train as a nail technician at home. Its difficult to get college?

    iv seen lots companys with trainee packs for home but they cost a fortune. has anybody done this before and no any cheap courses thanxHi ive not long had a baby and would love to train as a nail technician at home. Its difficult to get college?
    If you want to go to college they do have creches in some and if you are on a low income sometimes you can get the course free. Look in your library for info on college coursesHi ive not long had a baby and would love to train as a nail technician at home. Its difficult to get college?
    Go to your local family learning centre, (if there is one) there is one near me. It offers free creche facilities and your course is free if you live in the area. They have lots of courses to choose from on different subjects. Check out see if there is one in your area. Congrats and good luck x
    there are scholarships available for highly qualified students in the nail technology industry. Suggest you Google them.


    Also, the food services industry is looking for people like you.
    Don't know about home training pack, but my local college has loads of evening courses you can take for that type of thing. Everything, from just taking something up as a hobby to actually taking the official certificate in something. If you want a proper qualification (which you will need if you want to get a decent job in the industry), it's going to cost you more, as the exams cost money.





    Your local college should have a part time/mature student prospectus, which might be available online (with costs).





    The best thing to do is go to their open evening (which should be in the next few months) and speak to someone about what you want to do etc.





    Another good place to go is www.learndirect.co.uk, which can give advice about careers. Their call centre staff are helpful and well trained.
    hi, my daughter is just ove 13 mnths now, i started my nail tech course wen she was 6 mnths old. i did a night course just one evening a week. it only cost about 150 quid and it was well worth it, it lasted 17 weeks and now im fully qualified. get a part time prospectus from your nearest college and see wat they have to offer.

    I want to do some Nail Technician Courses, any ideas??

    I want to do the courses also Manicure %26amp; Pedicure while I'm still in my current job, I would prefernot to home learn although this looks like a possibility at the mo. Also they are very very expensive??


    I live in Fakenham, Norfolk UK can someone help me plese??I want to do some Nail Technician Courses, any ideas??
    Okay, Im not in the Uk, but am hoping to do the same as you, soon.. Look into Beauty Colleges, in or around your area, they should hopefully offer part-time courses, that you can do at night, a couple nights per week, for how ever long the duration of the course is... Good Luck to you...

    Question about being a Nail Technician?

    Is it really worth the money to sit and smell all of the fumes? Do you even smell the fumes from the chemicals?Question about being a Nail Technician?
    not worth it





    yes things smellQuestion about being a Nail Technician?
    I would think the smell of the chemical fumes would mask the stinking odor of feet from a 290 pound woman as you are WORKING on them.
