PROTOCOLS FOR THE ADVANCED NAIL TECHNICIAN

by Janet McCormick, MS, NT, LE

This text is free to ANT students

Protocols for Advanced Nail Technician contains important marketing templates and information for use by the salon-based Advanced Nail Technicians and Medical Nail Technicians after they have taken the courses. These marketing materials can be customized for use by the Certified ANTs and MNTs. The templates include a pre-service sheet, a editable letter for gaining referrals from physicians and many other materials for marketing healthy practices. Graduating from the courses is not enough; the graduates must market their upgraded capabilities, informing potential clients and physicians of their new advanced background. In doing so, the ANTs and MNTs gain the respect of these potential clients and professionals and encourage appointments and referrals.

This material is only available to the nail technicians and cosmetologists taking the courses. A link is provided to students as part of their course environment.  The download will be immediately available in a PDF after clicking on the link.
