Whether you fancy salon shifts or your own table, this begins it. You learn manicures, polish, gel, acrylics and dip powder. A nail kit arrives, so you build speed on your own hands.
There are no entry rules. The first lessons assume you have never held a file.
Gel polish, acrylics, gels and dip powder all sit here.
Self paced lessons, no class times, a full year of access.
Nail work runs from salons and nail bars to house calls. Sets take an hour or two, and good work gets photographed.
Full sets, infills and repairs, week in week out.
Focus on the systems that hold longest.
Shaping, cuticle care and polish, done well.
Designs people save and ask for by photo.
Learn a busy floor while you build speed.
Your own table, your own hours.
High turnover work with steady walk ins.
Bring the kit to the client instead.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different, and some ask for more study, insurance or supervised practice.
Ten topics, from nail anatomy through to enhancements.
Three things worth knowing.
Files, brushes, base, top coat, polish, remover and cuticle oil arrive.
