SEARCHHolly and industry scientist, Doug Schoon led a class on salon safety, light, gel, and more.
There may not be the words to describe how excited I have been to teach with one of my nail heroes, Doug Schoon. The day after The Nail Platform, Doug and I offered a class titled Science, Skills, and Social Media. The class started off with a segment on nail skills followed by an informational presentation from Doug on light, gel, and more. The afternoon was about getting attendee questions answered from one or both of us. There was even a fun and challenging round of salon safety bingo that encouraged everyone to put their thinking caps on. Going back through the bingo answers was a lot of fun and brought about some very interesting discussion that I felt all we all learned from. An attendee all the way from Iowa was the first to bingo and won the first official Doug Schoon Face 2 Face t-shirt!
I was super proud to learn several attendees were either still in school or fresh out. What a great beginning to their nail career! The day ended with hugs, photos, and autographs; unforgettable memories were made and it was an honor to present with Doug. Thanks again to everyone that took the time to come!
