Course overview
Nail work rewards patience and punishes shortcuts. This course spends its first two weeks on preparation and nail health, because that is where lifting, thinning and unhappy clients actually begin.
From there you will build through gel application, structured overlays and quiet, considered art using non-toxic polish and a fully sterilised toolkit. You will also learn safe removal, which is the skill most self-taught technicians never properly acquire.
What you will learn
- Nail anatomy, health and honest contraindications
- Cuticle work and preparation that stops lifting
- Gel application, apex and structured overlays
- Safe soak-off and removal without thinning the plate
- Restrained nail art: line work, chrome and negative space
- Sterilisation, insurance and pricing per hour
Who this is for
- Complete beginners entering nails
- Self-taught technicians with lifting or breakage problems
- Stylists adding a nail column
- Anyone opening a home studio
Before you start
- No previous experience needed
- Aged 18 or over
- Steady hand and comfortable with close detail work
- Two practice models across the final fortnight
