Thank you so much for all the videos you made as they helped me be more prepared. I’m happy to say I just took my exam yesterday and I passed it! I went in for relicense as I never kept up with my license and the last time I took the state board exam was over 20 years ago. Thanks again. God bless you!
I'm in the same boat. I didn't catch they were going go paperless reminders and it was the beginning of covid and it just slipped my mind. The written exam was troubling as psi practice tests did nothing to prepare me, I guess they are hoping you fail and come back and buy the non free tests. Just a word of warning. The free psi cos practice tests are not helpful! I did pass and now in less than 2 weeks, I need to do my practical test. Need straight answers for what is required! Are you in Michigan and can you help?
I'm confused. Some michigan cos practical sites say you need to polish all 5 fingers, some say come with a pinky polished in which the first step is to remove the polish, then I'm your answer to another which says you come with all fingers painted. UGH! I'm not fresh out of school, and it seems impossible for someone like me to get a straight answer on? Psi site?
I go by the basic manicure procedure in the Milady 14th edition book and it says that the nail painting step is optional. When you think about it, for a basic manicure, it does not always include polishing! That's just how I've been teaching it. The practical state board test is really only looking for following directions, and performing services safely and sanitary. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out for anymore questions or concerns!
Much Royal Oak love to you, if you can can you please do one for aesthetics & teller's also even within cosmetology do you still have to do acrylic overlay?
@@HairByDesiree please let us know if you can bring your tripods within state board since now you have the privilege of taking your state board any part of it in your home at the school or at the testing site? How many tahoes is needed since you can have them any color according to Michigan rules how many tiles is needed for the State board?
Not that you will ever respond back but I wish that you could have did it more closer up close so people can see it's kind of at a distance!! where you really can't see well how you're doing the mannequin hand.🧐🤔
@@HairByDesiree the choice is yours to say that it might be some day that means it may not never be and people need to know. When checking an esthetician and cosmetology exam, when it comes to skincare nails and on-base off-base curl etc
Bruh....if you sanitize yo hands one more time😂. I only sanitized mine and my mannequin hand 1 time before the service. And passed the first time for my manicuring license.
Idk if Cosmetology is any different but I've been told you could fail every hands on things you do but if your Sanitation is good you'll still pass, so I'm sure as hell going to over sanitize to ensure I pass 😭

I don't believe we have to do an acrylic overlay! I don't know about aesthetics either. Sorry! Thanks for the comment!

Maybe someday I will make a video that shows it from my POV :) Thanks for the comment!

So no wet sanitizer for the manicure setup? I go for my Michigan practical in June. I want to pass this time around.
