You are soooo wise, Diana! Getting the information to the consumer appropriately probably would have to be done by a nail technician association that can afford to do it..... (the dues would have to support it - nail technicians would not pay that amount, probably), and then there would have to be a consensis on fact-based information - which is not seriously available in any of the disciplines in the beauty industry. One can even today go through the magazines and find claims of different companies in each of the disciplines that result in 'tsk, tsk. Not true.' It all goes back to the fact that our industry is not regulated by the feds. Am I saying it should be? Absolutely not. Well, maybe some. Which it is. I do think the NMC has done a good job of developing information both for the technician and consumer, considering it's membership consists of owners/representatives of manufacturers who all have 'agendas.' But they don't even have the $$ to take information to the consumer in a large scale. Sad, but true.
I would certainly like to see Vicki's association get strong enough to do some serious stuff like this!

Oz stuff I was telling Deb last week, that we failed, as nail techs, to get he correct information out to the consumer. We somehow did not get t thru to the public, we took a wrong turn somewhere along the way. And with this Dr, Oz thread, it just confirms what I was saying. Ask a question and...... ou can go to any beauty school, and get different answers. ou can go to any nail salon and get different answers. ou can go to two different nail techs in the same salon, and get ifferent answers. ou can go to two different nail techs from different ethnic back rounds and get different answers. ou can go to different manufacturers and get different answers. ou can go to different State Boards and get different answers. No wonder we have hodge podge answers out there. We failed. We idn't get thru. e spent our time educating nail techs, one at a time, thought that his would work. It didn't. We didn't get it to the consumer. We left it up to the consumer to spread the word, it didn't work. The consumer will push any changes, not us. We somehow have to hange the way we are getting the word out. I don't have the nswers. I don't know. There will never be national licensing. we an't even get states to have a national drivers license, or insurance. I don't have the answers, but know that as hard as we have tried, it idn't work.
