2008-07-08T16:01:00.002+01:00

Michelle Porter Training Academy

Friday 4th July saw the launch of Michelle Porters latest Training Academy - Stoke On Trent. Within the plush surroundings of Stoke-on-Trent’s premier health club, the Academy will offer students a wide array of courses that can be taken as a complete package or as individual modules. This allows individual needs to be catered for compared to an FE college where students may have to train in aspects of the job they may not be fully interested in.

The full range of courses are available in Nail Extensions, Manicure and Pedicure, Eyebrow and Lash Tinting, Waxing, Spray Tanning, Facials and Body Wraps and Body Massage with more to be added over the next few months. Most courses enable the student to gain a fully approved qualification within one day with the exception of Facials and Body Massage which run over three days. All the relevant theory is covered within each module as well as practical work, and full support is given to students afterwards by the experienced training team at Michelle’s Headquarters in Nottingham.

An Invitation to all Nail Geek Members....

2008-04-16T22:10:00.006+01:00

After personally reading the feedback from some of the nail geek members, when questions appear to one another about the "AcryGel" product range, I would like to take this opportunity to invite anyone who cares to try or test the abilities of this wonderful product, to come along to a FREE of charge "Play Workshop" currenty being organised around the country.

AcryGel is without a doubt, a UV Gel system in its own right.... to those of you who have actually tried it for yourself, and taken part in one of our Training Conversions Workshops (4 Hour only) I would like to thank you for the positive feedback given to other geek members on the website.

You will have witnessed and understand the difference between this unique product and hopefully like what you have experienced....

Also, just to make clear any confusions..........there is a product beonging to Star Nail USA called Acrygel.......my version derives from this concept and is endorsed by my good friend Mr Tony Cuccio - Founder and CEO of Star Nail International.

You will see that the packaging is different and that the american version consists of only Pink, White and Clear UV gels and strengthening Powder.

We will be exhibiting at Olympia - London, on Sunday 18th and Monday 19th May 2008 and would love for you to come along and visit our stand. ( B28).
Demonstrations will be taking place continually throughout the duration of the show, with Full sets on offer at only £25.00.

Please look out for our advertisements in Scratch Magazine every month for up and coming FREE Play Days........ alternatively visit our website at http://www.michelleporterbeautyproducts.com/ or call 0800 083 7551 for details.

Thank you in advance

Michelle Porter

Fabric Gel UV Hybrid Nail Technology

2008-04-12T13:00:00.003+01:00

Fabric Gel UV Hybrid Nail Technology

"Fabric Gel is the latest Hybrid UV Gel system to launch into the nail industry
by Michelle Porter Beauty Products...." available Exclusively via our online store, this product is now available to purchase.

I would like to share my thoughts with you, and to make you aware of my intentions.....

I am constantly searching, sourcing, and keeping my eyes out for new and exciting products to introduce to my customers, in order to stay ahead of my competitors.

AcryGel was the first UV Hybrid Nail System to arrive in the UK back in early 2004.

We excitidely decided to launch this as a "pilot scheme" at the Scottish Beauty Exhibition in Edinburgh, just to test the water and to get a feel for the demand and comments from both nail technicians and of course our competitors..... From then onwards we have never looked back!

AcryGel is a fantastic system with advantages of equal benefits to both acrylic and gel users nationwide.

Of course four years down the line there are companies out there .... claiming to have the same product, copying our concept.

AcryGel is a unique and will continue to remain the market leader amongst gel systems.

Remember to look out for the new "Black Russian" UV Gel and strengthening powder ready to be launched at Olympia 2008 - Stand no B28 - come and watch our demonstrations!!!!

On a final note ........ It is so important for me to be able to offer the best quality products available, giving superior results & finish at competitive prices. In order for me to continue to do this, Iwould like to invite you to contact me personally,either via email or by phone and to give me your general feedback and thoughts on systems, products or any training related issues you may want to share with us.

To find out more details on how to do this please visit our website at www.michelleporterbeautyproducts.com

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog..
