The opening pages of every Salon Fundamentals Nails chapter include: STEP-BY-STEP TECHNICALS - Photos and accompanying text help students visualize procedures as they move through every step of a process. The easy-to-follow format significantly raises self-confidence, making a seamless transition to hands-on applications. REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS - On the last page of every chapter, we offer students a chance to apply their new knowledge. Hypothetical scenarios require students to use decision-making skills mastered in that chapter. It’s a chance for students to mentally leave the classroom and envision themselves as successful professionals. KEY CONCEPTS - Throughout each chapter, we use imaginative ways to call attention to key points. Look for colored text, bold print, bullets and charts. These relate to important theories your students must remember–and makes chapter review for tests much easier! LEARNING STRATEGY - More complex technicals include a checkmark beside any step that calls for specific safety precautions. This indicates an ideal moment to check on a client’s comfort level.
