My Misson

I’m not just here to teach you how to do nails—I’m here to show you why every step matters. My approach to training goes beyond application techniques; I focus on the science, the reasoning, and the problem-solving skills that will set you apart in the industry.

Too many nail technicians are taught how to use products but never truly understand nail health, troubleshooting, or what to do when things go wrong. That’s why I created training that gives you everything you need, not just the skills to create beautiful nails, but the confidence to handle any challenge that comes your way.

I’ve built my career on knowledge, precision, and attention to detail. Now, I’m passing that expertise on to you.

My misson is simple, to ensure my students are fully equipped to build not just a thriving business, but a reputation and brand that clients trust.

This Beginner Nail Technician Course is designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to start your nail career. Split into two parts—theory and practical—this course covers everything from nail anatomy and hygiene to hands-on gel application and client consultations. You’ll learn the fundamentals at your own pace through theory, followed by two full days of in-salon practical training, where you’ll get to apply your knowledge under expert guidance. By the end, you'll be ready to confidently enter the nail industry with a certificate of completion and your very own beginner’s kit.

Going the extra mile is sometimes the exact thing we need. This Mentorship Add-On is the perfect way to take your skills and business to the next level after completing the main course. Spend a full day in the salon shadowing me as we work through a day full of clients together, troubleshooting and experiencing it for real. You’ll also get a branding photoshoot and content creation session to help you build a standout social media presence. We’ll dive into business essentials, including creating reels, growing your social media, marketing and crafting a strong personal brand.
