> Hi Dawn,
> Hi Dawn. Don't know if this will help or is the answer but 10 years ago I lived in NY and at the time you did not need a license. I was taught hands on by a woman who had done nails for over 20 years in her salon. Not only did I get paid, but the hands on training was something you could never learn in school. It proved to give me the edge I needed over competition. Anyway I was thinking if you contacted the DPR in NY and explained your situation and asked what it would take to be a qualified instructor. If it's not that much or someone near you who owns a salon is qualified maybe they would consider that good enough to be considered an education??? If this is the case anyone owning a salon would probably jump at the chance to teach you their own techniqes and special tips they've learned over the years. You in the mean time would know what it was like to work in a salon and I'm sure you could bring your friends in to work on(for free of course since you wont be licensed yet). Then when you took your test you could start working for the owner immediately. Sorry this is so long but that's how I got started and when I moved to another state the woman who taught me wrote a letter and proved I worked so many hours. So all I had to do was take the test in the new state and qualify to work. Hope this doesn't sound too crazy but I guess anything is worth a try. Good luck!!!
