LCN EDUCATION PROGRAM
Canada and LCN
Inge Patton, a pioneer in Germany’s nail industry, operated two successful nail
salons when her quest for quality nail products in 1985 led her to WILDE Cosmetics,
the German Inventor of LCN, Light Concept Nails.
Inge quickly began to play an integral part in the launch of LCN products in
Germany. She became LCN’s foremost instructor developing educational manuals
and training Nail Technicians and Instructors around the world. In 1989 Inge Patton
brought her expertise, boundless energy and enthusiasm for the nail industry to
Canada.
During those early “pioneer days”, Inge not only advanced the entire North American nail industry, but
also was the first to introduce a formal nail program for professional Nail Technicians. This program, which
set the highest level of standards in the beauty industry, has been replicated by many manufacturers
across Canada. Inge also worked extensively with LCN Partners in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Today, WILDE Cosmetics, now called WILDE Group, manufactures innovative products for Nail Care,
Foot Care, Body Care, Wax, Make-up, Facial Care and Permanent Make-up, serving professional Nail
Technicians and Estheticians worldwide in over 70 countries.
LCN remains committed to providing extensive education to assist Technicians and Estheticians to
become the best in their profession.
The LCN Education Centers provide a training facility for new students to explore a career in the beauty
industry. The LCN Education Centers ensure an effective education program and develop a feeder
system of well-trained technicians and potential instructors.
LCN is represented by professional wholesale beauty suppliers throughout Canada. Please contact
