Which lamp to choose?

It's always a tough question

Each master has a choice, buy an expensive lamp and buy a cheap one.

An expensive one does not guarantee that it will last a long time, nothing will break, their warranty is usually the same as that of cheap ones.

Cheap lamps can not be said that they are bad, depending on how you run into, there is always a marriage.

I always stick to the fact that the lamp should be changed once a year.

But you can always check how your lamp works, and then decide whether to change it or not.

I buy cheap lamps from a trusted buyer and check their performance.

Why do courses teach nail anatomy?

Knowledge of anatomy allows the masters not to harm their clients, since the slightest wrong movement can lead to irreversible consequences.

Knowledge of anatomy allows

correctly open the proximal fold,

work with cutters

make the right nail file

make a competent coating with bases, gels

competently model nails

Even when attaching rhinestones, you need to know the anatomy

And the most important thing is to explain this to the client, because sometimes the client's requests can harm him, and our task is to tell him about the consequences of incorrect work, what they can lead to.

But lately I see that many masters are not taught the anatomy of nails.

Therefore, I include an anatomy block in each of my courses.

The client returns with a crack in the nail plate, and the novice master cannot understand why this is happening.

He tries to figure it out, because he does everything right, starts asking experts, and they list many reasons

Consider the cases in which cracks appear:

A blow to the nail plate, and the client may not notice, but you will look for the reasons in yourself.

Ask the client what was active during this period, moving, renovation, activity

The master cuts the nail plate with a file. Of course, the client himself can do this, but more often the master. Incorrect installation of the file when submitting the form, the growth point is weakened, and a crack appears under load

The tension zone is cut off with a gas cutter when processing the lateral sinus, and the master often does not even notice these cuts. With a weak zone of stresses and loads, a crack appears

The ingrown point has risen to the sinus, this happens when the ingrown point is sawn. The load passes into the stress zone and a crack appears.

Cracks should always be repaired as the crack can go deep into the nail and the client can break the nail so badly that you can't even grow it back.
