TBH, I refuse to get bothered about the Argos stuff. Yes, its a hazard, but you know, I've won a fair few clients who have started out doing their own nails, and have not managed to make them look anywhere as nice as 'their friend' who has hers professionally done, so they've come to me.
One could (and I'm not saying - its just theory) have just as much a go at homelearn courses as Rio kits and Ebay, because, anyone can buy the course....and doens't actually need to pass it to be able to go and bang quite a lot of nails on the unawares public. And you can buy more product from your supplier without completing the course from the majority of them, so in effect, thats probably just as bad. I'm not a huge fan of home learn courses (and I speak educatedly - having started with one) but they are deemed slightly more acceptable as they could lead to a pro qualification.
Yet, it's a fine line of difference between acceptable and outrageous!
Bio Sculpture actually offer to purchase back any unopened unused products from you rather than see it on EBay, and will refuse to supply you if you've been identified as selling Bio Sculpture products on Ebay, but that doesn't stop it ending up there. There's tons of the stuff. I've seen a so called Bio Sculpture cuti-stone (that I can buy in Sally's for 75p) go for over £12 on Ebay!
If there's mugs that'll pay it - theres'll always be folk that'll supply it!
