If you want nails to pay the bills, this covers both sides. You learn the full service range, from manicures through to enhancements. Booking systems, pricing and retail get covered too.
Manicure, polish, gel polish, acrylics, gels and dip powder.
Mentoring covers pricing, client retention and retail add ons.
Business types, a plan, bookkeeping and Xero sit in the second course.
Nail work pays by the set, so speed and rebookings matter. Some rent a chair, some work from home, some travel to clients.
Full sets, infills and repairs each week.
Build speed on a busy floor.
Designs people book by photo.
Take the kit to the client.
Your chair, your prices, your hours.
Run bookings, stock and the numbers.
Sell and advise on nail products.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different, and some ask for more study, insurance or supervised practice.
Two courses: the services, then the business behind them.
Three things that make this stick.
