Cuccioheld a training on June 16, 2015 in Wahchai Hong Kong, hosted by Nailtech Professional (HK) Limited under the instruction of Jacqueline Yeung, business development director for Asia. The training was for existing educators and it was the first time in 10 years that all Cuccio educators were together in the same room. The meetings had been done previously via Skype and conference calls.
"Hong Kong is one of the fastest lifestyle cities in the world; similar to New York, Singapore, Tokyo," Yeung says. "People in Hong Kong tend to want things fast and faster. In the past 10 years, most people in the nail industry are rushing to make money, and they only focus on making money everyday; you can see that there aren’t any classes that have more than 15 people because they don't want to spend their time for something that they might not be able to use in their salon work. We are so glad that we had 30 people join us at this training session, as this is our first step to establish our education system in Hong Kong."
Educators were introduced to the Cuccio T3 LED Controlled Leveling Gel, Veneer Flat Art Painting, Veneer 3D Design Technique; instructed on how to choose the best LED Lamp; and how to make more money with all these products in salon services.
“Our LED gel is the hottest product out there so we wanted to be sure they were all trained on the latest technology," Founder and CEO Anthony Cuccio says."We hope they took away complete understanding of the new product, that they know how to work with it and that they take advantage of a nail that can be made quickly and dries in 55 seconds."
