Competition Insider

Learn, People

I get asked this a lot: “Are you going to be giving any classes in my area?”

 

You know, with all the education available out there, I think there are ample avenues for manicurists/competitors to get the education they need. I’m often bombarded with event notifications from Facebook advertising one class or another. I’ve even used that one.

 

The backs of the industry magazines have lists of upcoming classes and events. Or there are many different DVDs to choose from. And if I feel like I haven’t been offered any intriguing education in a while, I can always search Google or YouTube. And yet, I still see nail enhancements that are less than acceptable especially for a nail competition.

 

I think on my Facebook page alone, there must be some good examples of what is required for a competition-style nail enhancement. Not to mention the competition homepage with its page after page of examples.

 

But OK then, to answer the question: “Yes, I teach classes.”

 

In your area?

 

Well, that is negotiable.

 

Is it free?

 

No way.

 

Cheap then?

 

Mmm, that’s relative.

 

Like I’ve said before, you can spend a whole lot of money competing and not winning, or you could spend comparatively less and maybe not start winning right away, but definitely not make novice mistakes that cost you a bundle.

 

The point is that if you want to be a top competitor, you must learn. And if you want to learn from me, I’m here. You can call me or send me an e-mail. And watch for me coming soon — live on the Internet (wink).
