Formulas for Success

Immerse in free education & business support with a helping hand from Light Elegance. The brand’s global education director, ELAINE WATSON, shares the details

Hey, fellow nail fanatics! You know how we’re all constantly looking for an extra edge, a nugget of wisdom, or a spark of inspiration to keep our clients wowed and our businesses booming? Well, grab a coffee (or tea, or maybe even a cheeky mimosa), because we’ve cooked up something that’s about to become your new favourite weekly ritual. Allow me to introduce LE Power Hour.

No, it’s not an extreme workout video, although your nail skills are about to get a serious pump! LE Power Hour is our new, free educational programme, filmed live every Wednesday at 10am PST (6pm BST). As you read this, we’ll have already hosted around eight power-packed sessions. The response so far has been incredible!

So, how does it work? Thanks to the new LEU 2.0 platform, we can seamlessly schedule and conduct these live educational events using Zoom. Each episode of the LE Power Hour runs for 30 to 60 minutes, so is perfect for squeezing into your busy schedule. To join the fun, simply visit www.lightelegance.com and sign up.

Now, what kind of power are we talking about? The topics are as diverse and dazzling as our LE Glitter Gels! One week, we might be deep diving into flawless gel application, and the next, we could be unleashing our inner artists with cutting-edge nail art techniques. We’ll also tackle crucial salon business topics, like how to price your services so you’re not just making a living, but truly thriving. We have a range of super-talented presenters, whose vast experience guides the content delivered each week. Think of LE Power Hour as a weekly dose of inspiration and know-how from fellow pros.

But Elaine ,’ I hear you thinking, ‘ My schedule is already so full, I’m pretty sure my appointment book is about to stage a protest! Why should I sign up? ’ Oh, let me count the ways!

1. Be there, learn it live. There’s nothing quite like being in the virtual room where it happens. You get to ask questions in real-time and interact with the episode presenters.

2. Early bird gets the knowledge. If life happens and you miss the live session, don’t despair. Everyone who signs up gets an email with a link to the recording as soon as the episode wraps. You can watch it at your leisure; PJs are optional.

3. The time advantage. While these sessions will eventually make their way onto our YouTube channel, that’ll be two full weeks after the live event. By signing up, you gain a significant head start on this free education and can get ahead of the curve, implementing new skills while others wait for the YouTube drop.

4. Discounts. As if free education wasn’t tempting enough, there’s often an opportunity to snag a special discount code during the LE Power Hour for your next Light Elegance order.

5. Global party. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world; if you’ve got an internet connection, you can join the LE Power Hour. We love seeing our global nail community come together!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. With the LEU 2.0 platform, we’re gearing up to host even more in-depth educational events via webinars. Light Elegance is truly committed to providing education to help its customers become successful and confident nail pros. We’re here to lift you up and share what we know, as fellow professionals who understand the daily grind and joys of this industry.

Head to Light Elegance’s YouTube channel for previous episodes and be sure to sign up in time for the next LE Power Hour. Let’s get those creative juices flowing and your business booming!
