Absolutely true and I apologize for taking the thread off course, Carl. It is so true that many things we see in the salon at the rebalance appointment, simply is not seen and only covered in theory in the class situation. Some sort of apprenticeship scheme or working salon situation would be so much more realistic and better.
Here we go Geeg, mutual admiration society:biggrin:, you didn't take it off thread.
I just felt that companies and names were perhaps shown in a negative light, when in fact it's quite general ..... , you can show one or 2 refills, but nearly everyone is different that walks through the door, it would take many weeks to show the variables that can occur.... yet I still maintain, it's our bread and butter, but not taught enough.
The fact that many companies have such bad initial training, then students are left alone (but apparently qualified, but cannot deal with anything outside a pre-determined box) is quite a concern for me.
Imagine what those techs feel like that have no idea about Salongeek (or other forums), those poor buggers must be drowning and be well out of their depth.
It saddnens me to think of those that thought they were on a good wicket to make money, then 3 weeks down the line thought "where the f*** am I".
I Know Jack Shyte. They have spent their budget, learned how to put them on, yet not maintain them, they get a client, but they get them max twice, then the client moves on becuase the tech can't deal with anything but basic issues,.
Even though I am a cynical ******* at the best of times, my heart bleeds of frustration for those left alone to "sink or swim".
I could combine many thoughts and many threads together and if people are well versed and have well read other threads they will know what I am talking about.
Being judged
Being stereotyped
Being offered a means to an end
Being offered a quick fix
etc etc etc
