RELEVANCE OF THE COURSE BEAUTY CARE
This area of beauty care focuses on nail care. To be able to pass the
qualification for NC II in beauty care, you must first have knowledge about
the job of a nail technician.
A nail technician is a beauty specialist who is responsible for the
grooming and appearance of a client's fingernails and toenails. He or she
provides manicures, pedicures, nail shaping, cuticle grooming, callus
removal, synthetic nail treatments, and application of nail polish for their
clients.
Nail art is growing successfully, thanks to social media and magazines
full of inspirational images of nail styles and colors. Nail art ranges from
understated designs to the extravagantly elaborate. This means that being a
successful nail technician requires varying qualities and skills. This is
especially true if a nail technician has goals of celebrity clients and highpaying jobs.

Interpersonal Skills for Nail Technicians
1: Communication and Conversation- Not all clients will want to chat while
they get their nails done, but most will appreciate this. It may come in the
form small talk, pleasantries, or a full emotional unload. Clients sometimes
use the indulgence of a manicure as a way to treat themselves. That
experience can often be enhanced by conversation. Let clients open up, but
be sure not to pry. Being warm and inviting will let the client steer the
conversation, even if that means a quiet service.
2: Reliability- A nail technician’s personal time is crucial to their mental
health and should be respected by both clients and employers. There are,
however, times where adjusting your schedule can strengthen a nail
technician’s relationship with a client. Being forgiving of the occasional last
minute reschedule can go a long way. A nail technician should know when a
client needs more understanding and when someone is exploiting them.
Likewise, respecting clients’ time is crucial to maintaining a long-lasting
relationship. Be on time and do the very best to keep appointments.
3: Leadership- There will be times when clients may not know what they want.
Often times they will want their nail technician’s input and advice. This may
feel like a lot of pressure. Nail technicians should want their client to be happy
and feel good about their work. This is your time to shine as a nail technician!
This allows nail technicians the opportunity to show off skill and imagination.
Nail technicians should come up with ideas that will excite clients, rather than
ho-hum ideas the client will accept.
4: Trendspotting- As with most beauty trends, nail styles are rapidly shift and
change. Having a current knowledge of the latest trends can help nail
technicians to anticipate requests and make suggestions. It will also give nail
technicians opportunities for professional development. Keeping an eye on
new products can also give nail technicians an edge. Changes to products
happen quickly and there is a lot of variety to choose from. It can be fun for
both nail technician and client to try new things. Nail technicians should
thoroughly research all of the products they use or recommend.
5: Precision- It is not uncommon for nail technicians to feel like they’ve fallen
into a rut. Building a steady client base is a fantastic achievement for any nail
technician, but it can sometimes mean falling into a predictable routine. This
doesn’t mean nail technicians should settle in for the long haul. You never
know when a new client or opportunity might come along! They may also have
a client who will surprise them with a request for something new. When these
moments arise, nail technicians don’t want to be caught looking rusty! Nail
technicians must keep their creative skills sharp by practicing new styles and
trends.
6: Concentration- Maintaining high-quality work is vital to creating and
keeping a client base. This means nail technicians must focus on their work,
even when the request is not exciting. Small slip-ups and flaws add up after
Page 7 of 14
a while. This may be what causes one of a client to find a new nail technician.
Being a nail technician can be an amazingly creative job, but don’t forget that
discipline is necessary if you hope to stand out. Dedication to your craft will
also help you to work efficiently. Don’t hurry through an appointment, but
also don’t waste a client’s time by being unprepared. Revisit the basics often
to avoid making mistakes.
If you are good to your clients and good at what you do, success won’t
have a hard time finding you.
Technical Skills for Nail Technicians
A nail technician’s personality might be great, but without any practical
knowledge there is no way for them to achieve their goals in nail art. It takes
dedication to the practical aspects of nail technology to keep nail technicians
on the cutting edge in their field. While formal training and certification will
give them the knowledge they will need as a nail technician, their learning
does not end there.
