Commit to the practice

We understand the excitement to move forward to the next lesson but learning is a process that requires time. Make sure you are turning in your best work. We carefully take into consideration the time (on average) it takes a student to complete a course, in addition to the time for a teacher to check assignments. Those factors are included for courses with limited timeframes. The only exception to this is when we offer deep discounts during the holiday season.


Be challenged by our educators

The relationship between student and teacher is important to us. We know that having an assignment declined can be frustrating. However, our educators will critique your work to help you become a better nail technician.  They will offer new perspectives on your work and may require you to make adjustments. For experienced nail technicians, educators will help you break out of your comfort zone, change old habits, and expand your skill sets. Most importantly, it is imperative that you never compare yourself to others. Our teaching criteria will differ from student to student depending on their level of expertise. 

We look forward to being part of your journey, and are eager to see what you can achieve with your talent and dedication!

It wasn't difficult. Very useful. Especially the placing of the dual form on the nail that I couldn't figure out before I took these courses. read more

Yes, a little bit. Seem to be regular acrylic is easier than this technique, especially under nails application. I also think that would be easier if using tip to avoid filling under nails. I think learning every new techniques is great. That's how we can up to date our nails career education. read more

Yes not to have bubbles. And doing it in bitten nails. Learning a new method of modeling nails. If we get a good hold of the dual forms, it could be easy to work with even if we try using it with acrylic. read more

The pink and white was and is challenging. I plan to use the additional time to watch and work along with you over and over. It was very helpful.

Do you need to be a licensed nail tech in order to take these lessons? I have been doing my own nails for about 20 years. These dual forms seem fantastic!

Unfortunately, most cosmetology schools only teach you basics and to pass the state exam but not enough for most nail techs to be able to do the job. We can definitely teach you the SKILLS to be a professional nail technician.
