Book Description
Milady’s Standard Nail Technology Revised, 5th Edition has been thoroughly revised to include the most up-to-date information available to nail technologists. The text incorporates recommendations from state boards of cosmetology, classroom instructors, school owners, manufacturers, and practitioners, ensuring greater success for students taking the state board examinations and greater protection for nail service clients. The text provides an excellent overview of topics to get a new nail tech started, such as professional image, customer relations, and salon management, while thoroughly teaching the nail technologist how to perform the basic processes that will be the starting point for their career. This revised text also focuses on the scientific knowledge that is most important to the nail tech, removing the medical terminology and information that is not useful to them. Special features of the text include business tips in the form of short stories that present helpful information for a successful career in the nail business; State Regulation Alert, and Here’s A Tip, which direct students to additional sources of information. This is a must-have resource for any student who wants to learn the basics of nail technology and competently prepare for the state board examinations.

Good Intentions Gone Bad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Milady's Standard Nail Technology (Paperback)
I have taught for years and have been impressed by Milady's dedication to the Industry, until now. This new text book was headed in the right direction, with the addition of some fantastic photos for nail diseases, but it missed it's usual high standards drastically. The chapters, especially those most important to the foundation of education, such as sanitation issues and safety issues towards clients, fall far too short. A school is intended to give the basis of a long and safe career in this industry, yet this book irresponsibley dedicated more time to air brushing (which is difficult at best to learn via a book) then it did to the fundamentals of salon safety for both the tech and the client. I am very very disappointed. The chapters seem to be started off in the right direction, then are seemingly cut severly short. The book is choppy and incomplete at best. Sad to see such unprofessional results from a long time industry leader who has continually been the one who set the standards and raised the bar.

This review is from: Milady's Standard: Nail Technology, Revised (Paperback)
This Item is the textbook however when I recieved my orderfor this item it was the workbook . This is a huge inconvience to me as I do not need the workbook. Its too bad people cannot determine the difference between a textbook and a work book. I am very displeased with this seller for not knowing the difference. Now I have to wait for a refund on my cc and send the book back . To the seller If it says workbook then its a workbook if it does not say workbook then its a textbook.This has been a huge waste of my time
