El sector profesional de las uñas no difiere en muchos aspectos de otros sectores de la industria de la belleza. Pero en muchos otros aspectos, ¡es completamente diferente!
Historically, hairdresser’s are the older sector. Beautician’s and make-up artist’s have been in evidence for almost as long. Manicurist’s were connected with hairdresser’s or make-up artist’s. Beauty Therapy was a term coined in the 80’s. Aesthetician’s are a very recent advanced incarnation of beauty therapy.
Nail technician’s were only really separated in the early 90’s.
We are all aware of the short, fast track and, often, ‘not fit for purpose’ courses that are available for nails and beauty and, to a lesser extent, hair? We have never been a regulated industry, and this is unlikely to change in the near future. The Government are only interested in industry sectors that are capable of regulating themselves. This has not happened yet for the whole of ‘beauty’.
The whole nail sector has evolved into a place where many believe anyone can become a ‘professional’ in a few days. As a sector, we have allowed this to happen! The take up of the short and ‘not fit for purpose’ has been massive and this has set alarm bells ringing with the ‘powers that be’! In general, we are not acknowledged by anyone. Well, not enough to make any important changes that could have us recognised as a professional career. Beauty and nails are what school leavers do ‘if they are not academic’! Really!?
Así pues, volvamos a la pregunta original de este Blog.
This sector, globally, has a vast number of experts, both in the chemistry and the dermatology of our services and products. Many provide their expertise for free! Are they believed? The answer is ‘yes’ by some; but ‘no’ by many!
¿Por qué?
- Creer que la información es una estratagema de marketing.
- Hay otra agenda en marcha.
- La información es diferente a la que les enseñaron.
- They don’t believe the science.
- It doesn’t fit with what they want to believe.
- Compran a una marca que no tiene ni idea de lo que vende.
- Creen en los giros de marketing poco objetivos.
It is such a sad and shameful situation. Education levels are probably at their lowest in the whole history of ‘nail services’. BUT there are some amazing education delivered by skilled and knowledgeable teachers!
There is also some amazing, factual information freely available from genuine experts. But many don’t read nor update their knowledge. They provide totally inaccurate answers on social media and are believed! Especially if they have a lot of ‘followers’! (Followers does not make anyone an ‘expert’! They possibly just do ‘pretty nails’ and spend most of their time working on their SM to get money and advertising sponsorship).
En verdaderos expertos se preocupan de verdad por hacer llegar información correcta y objetiva al sector mundial. Este sector SÓLO sobrevivirá en el futuro con conocimiento y comprensión. NO con información errónea que vaya en contra de los hechos científicos y anatómicos.
Why do ‘professionals’ not believe these experts? Who knows! Maybe it doesn’t fit with their own agenda’ or product sales? True experts do not have this agenda! They want the industry to survive and become a true ‘professional career’.
Esta es la razón por la que NailKnowledge proporciona tanto contenido gratuito de algunos expertos mundiales. Por supuesto, ¡queremos que te lleves nuestro Diploma! Aprenderá mucho más de lo que imaginaba. Pero, mientras tanto, ¡crea en los HECHOS!
