Welcome to The Luna Method
Florida
Step 1 Pre-training
Pre-training is for 30 days. It is REQUIRED to be finished in order to attend your course. If you do not finish it prior to your course you will need to reschedule your course. Please do not procrastinate. YOU WILL RECEIVE FEEDBACK IN APPROXIMATELY 3 BUSINESS DAYS.
Taking feedback from Ashlee can be ALOT. We know that. This is the hardest part. Ashlee will deliver feedback to you via audio and markups on your photos- IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS TO NOT MAKE SENSE UNTIL YOUR CLASS.
Pre-training instructions are in your Learn Worlds and can be found HERE.
WE WOULD RECOMMEND RECORDING DIRECTLY FROM LEARN WORLDS. VIDEOS SHOULD BE QUITE SHORT.
At times you may need to compress a file. How to do that can be found HERE and HERE for under 10mb

Hotel Recommendations:
Airport:
-Sarasota/Bradenton Airport is the most convenient. If you're flying Delta go here they will make you connect in Atlanta anyway.
-Saint Petersburg Airport only carries Allegiant, Sun Country, Spirit, and Southwest. Their flights are the most limited but if you can find one they're extremely affordable. The airport is about 45 minutes away
-Tampa International Airport will have the most flight options. It's about an hour away from the salon.
Hotels:
-SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Bradenton Riverfront
-Hampton Inn Bradenton Downtown Historic District
-Courtyard Bradenton Riverfront
-Holiday Inn Express Bradenton East

What to bring to your class
Step 3 Post Class
What to do:
Post class is where most people lose momentum.
After your class, you will have to PASS a doll head install. After passing a doll head install- you will be able to submit humans for feedback.
PLEASE DO SO.
Submit everything you do right away. Even if you forget a photo- SUBMIT anyway.
Taking feedback from Ashlee can be ALOT. We know that- is why your trainer is part of your post class experience. We want to explore how you best receive feedback.
If you have tech issues- REACH OUT TO YOUR TRAINER, Ashlee or Kayla. Let us HELP YOU. YOU HAVE SIX MONTHS.
Certification:
This is not like other certifications you may have worked toward. The reality is, achieving this certification is truly a reward. It means that you are a master of The Luna Method.
How to earn it:
You must PASS two human installs and their corresponding grow-out.
-Do the install and submit it right away.
*DO NOT STOP SUBMITTING CLIENTS WHILE YOU WAIT FOR OTHERS TO COME BACK.
Receive feedback on everything you do so that you do not establish bad habits.
-When the client comes back in 4,6, 8,10 weeks submit the grow-out AND the new install.
REPEAT.
“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
