Life update and exciting news!

Hey y'all!

Today's post is just a little update for you, to let you know what's been going on around the Faffdom.  After some pretty intense encouragement from my instructor, I started testing the waters for any nail tech positions going here in my little town.  As it turns out, a spa owner was looking to bring in a nail tech, and thus began a bit of a whirlwind process.

Week in Review: Nail Tech training

Hey y'all!

Well, it has been a pretty quiet few weeks here at FixinToFaff, but a LOT has been going on behind the scenes.  As many of you will know, I began my journey towards fully qualifying as a nail tech this week by taking a 3-day course offered by Salon Services, which is the UK extension of Sally Beauty.  In this super-fast, jam-packed course, I learned the basics of nail work: salon hygiene, manicure/pedicure, and acrylic extensions.  Of course, 3 days is not NEARLY enough to consider myself to be "trained," but I learned the rudimentary procedures and practices, and now I have at least got the qualifications to insure myself and begin doing practice work on nails.  My plan is to continue supplementing this training every couple of months with additional classes in gel polish, gel extensions, french tip extensions, and acrylic and gel sculpture nail art.
