Editorial Reviews for Milady's Standard: Nail Technology
|
This text has been thoroughly revised to include the most up-to-date information available to nail technologists. It 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. Drawing on the combined expertise of a variety of industry leaders who both wrote and reviewed the text, this revised textbook gives students a thorough understanding of all aspects of nail technology today.

Summary: It's not the best...but it will do...
Comment: I have just finished the nail tech course in my state using this book. Sadly, for being the standard textbook in the industry, the book is riddled with typos and mistakes.
They commonly say things like "course abrasive" instead of "coarse" and the review questions leave a lot to be desired. By finding an older edition I learned that some terminology has changed so you learn one term in a section, but the old term is used in the review questions. Good luck answering the questions when you don't understand what they are talking about!
Worse, your instructor will use the tests provided and I have had to have my grades adjusted repeatedly due to errors on the tests. More often than not, you will have questions that have nothing to do with what you have learned only to find they are questions from the Cosmetology text and not the Nail Tech book.
Overall, hope for a good instructor who catches these errors and will adjust the curriculum accordingly or you may have problems later.

Summary: Good CD for Reviewing Your State Boards.
Comment: This is a pretty good product if you don't know what to expect when you take the state boards. I liked the videos they had showed on the CD along with most of the terms from the text book. I wish that they would go over Chapter One : Your Professional Image, along with Chapters 19 and 20. ( Salon Buisness and Selling Nail Products and Services.)

Summary: It is nice that we finally have an updated book...
Comment: I felt that the book was basically the same as the previous edition, with the exception of aromatherapy, and electric filing. Unfortionatly no one book can give all of the information that is required about a subject. That is what teaching is all about. I generally supplement the material from other books, and Florida law so our students stay on the right path. Over all I would have to say that this book was above average, and addressed many of the changes in the industry to date.

Summary: Good Intentions Gone Bad
Comment: 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.
