How the One Bead Method is Sabotaging Your Nail Career😈

[@sonia7275]

"Don't learn how to do something fast, before you first learn how to do it good" Honestly, that is the best piece of advice you could give anyone for any industry !

[@pamelaernstine9751]

Yes. Good advice. I've been doing nails forever. But to compete you must keep up with your competition. They do them in one hour, perfect one ball nails. Fyi you need a size 14 brush.

[@laurac86]

Yes! When I first started doing my own nails it took me FOREVER to do them! I’m definitely much quicker now but still not super fast. I’m not doing clients though so I can take all the time in the world lol

[@alanarapp9624]

As someone who just started learning how to do nails, this is the most helpful video I have found yet on how to build a nail! The different colors are super helpful in where to place beads and how to sculpt them into creating a well-built nail. Thank you!

[@theartofastoner]

I completely agree!! So helpful !! Thank you Susie 😊

[@adityasixviandyj7334]

agree! I really want to learn built nail using acrylic & gel, but the whole idea how to built it is not as simple as shown by many people. Suszie's video is trly a great education video in youtube, and FOR FREAKIN FREE!!!! and not only acrylic, her nail polish & design video is very amazing as well, and inside those video also really really thoughtful as well, many tips, trick, adn education in it as well.

[@shanibekker846]

This is exactly what I needed to hear! Been chasing that one bead and feeling like a failure. When those other YTers tell you it's the only/best way!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes that’s why I felt I had to address it because it is so misleading. I can do it one bead, but I don’t do it because it’s too frustrating for people to try to copy. I’m not in the business to show you how good I am with creating one beads as an educator my job is to show you how you can do it easily you can work up to the one bed and even still it’s not a necessary goal

[@pamelaernstine9751]

It is the best way. 3 ball nails are so 25 years ago. Get with the program ladies. And new techs learn the one ball to perfection it's so easy.

[@Solace6428]

@@pamelaernstine9751 that's like saying that antibiotics shouldn't be used, because they were created in 1928. There is a reason why the best methods are still used for things- it's because they're tested by time, and still work very well.

[@xXbakacoconutXx]

This video is not only a great example of using multiple beads, but also the different colors really helps us see the anatomy of a nail and the different zones to worry about! I taught myself how to do nails from videos like this, but its always so hard to see, so this was great! I personally use the one bead method (except for when I get low spots lol), but I'm teaching my older sister, who prefers multiple beads. I think this will be super helpful for her!

[@NailCareerEducation]

It’s the SUZIE COLOUR ZONE METHOD

[@NailCareerEducation]

Fantastic

[@xxSydneyFox]

Ooh yes I found that the three bead works best for me. I tried one bead but my acrylic dries too quick for that so I decided to take as many as it needs!

[@TrappedinSLC]

I think fewer beads just comes as you get more experience and get better at knowing exactly how much product you need and where to put it and so on. So you start seeing “oh, I can do this and this together.” Then “I can do this and this and this together.” The goal should be properly structured properly shaped nails, if you for some reason wanted to do that with 10 tiny beads and you or your client were happy with that? Go for it. 🤷‍♀️

[@SS_DT]

I want to believe Jenna is out there still following these tutorials with Julen. Miss her.

[@katelynmmcb]

I do it in as many beads I need. It takes less time too because I be messing up a lot of beads with the one bead

[@mekidunston]

See now this is why I love her videos. A particular YT that shall not be named literally do not create ANY apex one so ever and it agitates me they spread misinformation and false advertisements to younger upcoming nailtechs since it makes them believe they can get away with that in their own practices

[@NailCareerEducation]

That’s so true- and they may not be aware they are actually sharing the wrong info - hopefully they’ll see the right technique

[@ChaosAlyssa]

well now i’m curious who the channel is! i’m not super deep in the nail YT community 😅

[@BebbaDubbs]

It's so many who use tips w/o adding in a curve. My students (high school, not nail school, but I do my own and am known for it) always get breaks and after I explain why they are so upset because they cannot afford the quality salons. I try to tell them to just wait until they can get it done correctly, but pressure is pressure 😔 Their poor little nail beds!

I'm curious what the channel is called lol 😆

[@angellondono6335]

[@vegasmainiac7745]

I've been doing nails since 1989 and I still could sit and watch your videos of hours, and do sometimes. I just love your simple creative way of teaching. Teaching the one ball method was harder for me than actually doing it on clients for the same reasons you mentioned. I don't think its a good beginner technique but I had to due to company guidelines. Most of it went right over their heads by the end of a 4 hour class.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Company guidelines? That’s weird/ it’s art

[@elisebachert6654]

That doesn’t surprise me. In the USA unless the tech comes to you most salons want a high chair turn over. Quicker service means more clients can come through the door and more money. It’s why the dip powders became so ‘popular’ most salons now days only have one or two techs that can work with acrylic. And no one sculpts it’s all tips and very flat , thin nails that beak in two weeks so you come back sooner. Got a friend who was going through a course and said half the class declared they were probably going to focus on dip powders because acrylic and hard gel is ‘temperamental’ and ‘hard’ to get correct. Also no salon does gel nails. They just have gel polish and that’s what they consider gel nails🙄

[@grimoiregirl6532]

I love you suzie!!! I’ve been doing nails now for about four months I have been working in a salon when sometimes I feel like I need to work faster and try a one bead but thankfully my mentor doesn’t pressure me about my timing but watching your videos have always made me feel better and inspired to keep going! You’re like my nail fairy godmother 😂

[@julievellender5627]

One bead or not one bead that is the question! Well easy andwered from that video. The different colours illustrated your point and method brilliantly. Practicing with your slow cure so much easier too. Thanks Suzie see you and cameraman next week xx

[@Oniwabanshugirl]

I just so appreciate Susie's approach to this whole topic! She doesn't make it a debate about one bead vs multiple bead method... it's not a debate! It's about what works for different people, individually. I've seen that people can feel as strongly about their nail techniques as they do about politics/ religion, making discussions about differing ones just degrade into personal jabs or demonizing a company or tech. Susie did this in such a focused and classy way, it really is just about education. I love it!! ❤ 💖💅💖❤

This is so interesting! I've always had my nails done at Asian nail bars as that's all we really had in my area. They did one bead and its super fast, occasionally they'd put a little bit extra around the sides. But every single set I had would always lift and snap around the sides. They were always lovely and thin and I thought that was what it should be like to get a smooth blend down to the edges.. I have really awkward nails though as I basically have no side walls and the free edge curves down so they're basically a circle, so I always get lifting unless I have square nails that can come up to make their own side wall, but also every time I get extensions they point upwards like ducks. Not many places near me that use forms either x

I find at times chancing that 1 big bead that's a tad too wet, then wipe, then mold, then pat...😳 2 or 3 beads work just fine. I can control them fast to dry. If 1 bead is a DO, then fabulous. BUT the temp in salon is NOT regulated. Too warm. Too chilly. More liquid. Less liquid. Find your own rhythm nail newbies☺.

[@WholeSouthernCooks]

I think the one bead approach depends on how you’re taught. Here in America, i haven’t experienced the one bead impacting us in the way you explain. I learned it as a way to simply help create a platform so we can go back to the sculpture and fill in the gaps easier. For some, building with multiple beads leads to frustration. Basically the one bead creates a platform similar to a tip.
