Being born into the beauty industry and with more then 10+ years of expertise and experience, Max Estrada has always had a strong belief in nail education and artistry.
Max started with playing with his mother’s nail products and reading trade publications at a very early age, even attending his first trade show at the age of 5.
He started his professional career working in his family’s salon in Arizona. Within the first year of Max’s career he aspersed to grow bigger as a nail technician, so he decided to enter his first competition.
At the very young age of 16 with already a very quick and accurate acrylic application, Max entered his first professional nail competition.
Max was confident in his work; he competed and placed within the top 10 for his division and category. Full of determination, his goal was to improve his skills and conquer the competitive world of nails!
Now, Max places in every competition he enters and focus on further refining the nail shape and developing nail technologies that make the every nail artist’s life much easier. He believes that the best competition to win is the one with yourself; always strive for your personal best.
Max’s ultimate dream was to have the best products to complement his education for the nail care industry. In 2014, Max invented and designed his own company and product line, aptly titled Exclusive Nail Couture Professional, nationally and globally.
Today, Max competes all over the world. He has a true passion for his art and expresses his love for the nail industry through every nail he does. Max is now sharing his knowledge all over the world in his classes and through his new line of nail products.
Being a trendsetter in the industry, Max says, “The nail industry is not about where it has been but where it’s going.”
Continuing professional development is important because it ensures you continue to be competent in your profession. It is an ongoing process and continues throughout a nail professional’s career.
Don't lagg behind on this broadcast ....we have valuable information that will help you get caught up and current.

IBX is a New & Revolutionary two-part system that acts as a Protective Shield for the natural nail under any Gel Polish Coating and can also be used as a Natural Nail Strengthening System to grow natural nails more readily on their own! IBX is the first system of it's kind...this penetrative toughening system works inside the nail(instead of top), is cured with LED light and forms an interpenetrating polymer network that fuses the upper layers of the nail together. The result is a tougher natural nail that can grow on it's own or act to protect the nail against frequent and potentially damaging removal. For more information: www.ibxnails.com

Special guest: Julie Kandalec From the young age of 12, Julie Kandalec knew her future was in nails. "When I grow up, I want to be a manicurist" she wrote in English class. Finishing beauty school at the top of her class at 17 was just the beginning of a prosperous career. Perfecting her art at a Cleveland-area salon since 1999, Julie continued to grow until she decided to make a big career change: follow her other love of travel and work on a cruise ship. After returning to dry land, Julie was watching an episode of "Blow Out" with celebrity hair stylist Jonathan Antin when she realized her love of nails and returned to the beauty industry. To Julie, nail care is far beyond just polish. Always the artist, she is also trained in painting, drawing, colour, and dance. Known for her gentle touch and precise attention to detail, Julie's specialities vary from a clean, natural nail to elaborate, custom designed nails. Since making the move to New York City, her work can now be seen in Allure, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Shape, V, and multiple international issues of Vogue. Julie is currently breaking down barriers in the industry by being the first nail technician to appear on TLC's What Not To Wear! Tune in every Monday night to get your FIX!

Tonight we cover the issues related to Overexposure and allergic reaction to acrylic monomer! Nail technicians and their clients are exposed to a wide variety of potential allergens in the salon. We wipe our monomer soaked brushes on the table towel and then rest our arms in the same spot. We use our fingers or our wet brush to clean off any product that has over-run the clients cuticle or sidewall lines. We allow nail dust to collect on the skin of our hands and arms, while our arms rest on a wet, dusty table towel. We use drills at higher than recommended speeds which can throw the nail dust in our faces and into our breathing zone. If we wear masks to protect ourselves from vapors or dusts, we rarely change them, or we wear the wrong type mask. These practices, among others, can cause overexposure to potentially harmful chemicals which will result in sensitivity and allergic reaction.

A message from the owners Marnie & John Hadley Many of our customers already know, we were previously the Importers for Calgel – known to all as Calgel USA Inc. for the past 8 years. That door closed for us in July 2009 when the Japanese Importer purchased Calbrook International – the manufacturer of Calgel. The new owners in turn wished us well but they would no longer be selling product to us. That is when Bellissima International Inc. was established. With our dedicated staff we were able to launch the Bella Forma Collection in January 2010. Our commitment to our customers, now that we are the manufacturer, is to exceed your expectations. Our fabulous staff is here for each and every one of you, to process your order, answer questions and provide dedicated support. We care what you think as without you there would be no us! Even though Bella Forma UV Soak Off Gel is extremely easy to use and training is not a necessity to purchase product, we will be offering training classes.
