How to get started as a nail technician?
Regarding the marathon: I was amazed at depth and scope of the information covered in this marathon! I greatly valued the resources provided in the lessons, as well as the specific recommendations for art supplies and sanitation/sterilization. I was especially gratified by the second talk given by Kisa…a very real world glimpse, and confidence builder. I learned so much from each... read more
It was the most beneficial informations ever!!
Anastasia is always the ultimate rock star educator! The nail community is very fortunate to benefit from Anastasia's knowledge and generosity!
Future topics could be 1) How to network with other nail techs and 2) How to get the most benefit when attending nail shows (when they reopen).
Thank you.

Thank you.
I felt this was very detailed. For the nail art section, I felt more options for easy or quick nail art should have been included.
I enjoyed the marathon. The sanitation and disinfection was my favorite! I have learned and cleared my view of implements care and safety! The art class was awesome!
Thank you so much for all the info!
Thank you so much for all the info!
I really liked every video because the video had different information that I really needed to know thank you so much
Thanks to all of you, I liked the marathon yes.
I didnt know that disposable materials needed to be sanitize before being dispose.
Topics like common nail issues, problems and diseases would be really interesting to me.

I loved the nail art tutorials. I wish there was a little more explanation for the logistics of applying different techniques. (When to clean the nail, when to apply top coat on or under certain designs, if it should be non-wipe etc)
I learned so much with the sanitation and sterilization course. I had no idea that the dry heat autoclave I just bought will ruin my tools!

Yes I loved the marathon. Cleaning and sanitizing was very important. How to become a rockstar was very good. I would like to learn more about the spa industry, niches that are available. Thank you
yes . I am watching on replay as a nailspro student. This is information that I have not even thought of . I am new to Instagram, and i am still figuring out how to use but when i am ready with license , i will definitely rewatch this video for advice.

Yes Yes shaping Yes, everything about gels is new for me. Is Excellent
Yes every thing was clear and well explain. I struggled managing my time between work/personal life and both acrylic and gel class.

Yes I liked almost everything. Liked that I could go at my own pace and rewatch videos. I liked how detailed and in depth the class was…covering the incorrect ways of doing things and why products work together. I struggled form fitting. I also found that when it came to putting all our learned skills together to do our hands on assignments it was a lot to remember and it slowed me down... read more
Thank you. I really appreciate feedback. You and Elinda have been really great. I wish I had your help during gel build #1. I did struggle and get frustrated. We learn from our mistakes. Not being in a physical class, is difficult for us as students , but also as teachers must be hard too. But you and Elinda have made me feel positive and I want you to know how much this academy means to... read more
Yes Yes, filling and shaping and fitting forms correctly. During the course I got pregnant and have a lot of backpain. so I struggled to finish the last practise because I can't sit that long. Yes, how to make smile lines, product application, filling and shaping. Also safety and how the chemicals work. I do nails just for hobby, for me it is helpfull because I learned a lot and can... read more
Yes I like all the information provided in the videos. Yes I did. When making the C curve and the apex. Yes especially on how to set the form. Very good but I feel stress on the assignment. I am happy to see the new video around the c curve.
Yes Finding time to practice I really enjoy the lessons, I learn many things from all the classes. I like that it also includes information about the nail anatomy and safety and not only about the application process. Very comprehensive and as a not native english speaker I feel it was very easy to follow

Electric File Manicure
Yes I did. Yes I did. Honestly, I felt like everything is quite informative and detailed. I appreciate all the information I learned from this course. Thank you.
Yes everything was very simply explain and easy to understand I learned how to use the drill bits in a new way. Everything great
Love the up close and thorough details of an e-file manicure. A ton! My only experience is what I saw on instagram or what other nail techs did. Know what each bit is actually made for and the best way to appropriately use them was super helpful. Would love to see more "full" e file manicures from start to finish.
Yes! I love the feedback I get I learned different ways of working which I’m excited to try I would LOVE to have access to the course for longer. a busy life and managing an attention deficit disorder sometimes you forget you have a class and 4 months is kinda short. I would love at least 6 months
I did enjoy this class. I am so grateful to have learned more about how to manicure nail biters and men.
Absolutely all was so helpful and easier to knowledge about how to work with the bits, Yes I did learn a lot All of it was just perfect
Thank you so much, I have a greater understanding of the right way to use an e-file, and some techniques to control the e-file to not damage the nail or nail bed. I can see the difference just on my own nails, and have the confidence to use an e-file on a friend or client. You are all wonderful instructors, and I have a great appreciation for your time put into all these... read more
I liked the course, I just thought that in the disinfection classes I could go deeper, the rest I really loved, it was a good experience, now I can use my drills bits in the best way possible Yes, I learned how I can use the drills bits according to the type of skin and cuticle and the rpm Yes, improvements are always welcome, but I'm satisfied, it's the 3rd course I take with... read more
This class has a lot of great information.. I really like the way you explain everything in detail. I have learned a lot about the electric file, and what bits you need to use. Maybe putting longer words like formaldehyde on screen. Also would be nice if you could put name of bits on screen.
I really appreciated this course. Very informative on techniques. a lot of new things, i was terrified of the efile before this. i'd love for the bit name and rpm speeds to be in text on the screen as they are used, helps remember it a bit better.
E-file 101
Very satisfied with the course Everything is very well explained Yes .. we don’t know everything so regardless I always learn something new . But very please how detailed you explained what each bit does and the speed they need to be used .

I really enjoyed this class. The only thing I could think of is responding to tasks quicker. With that being said, I completely understand that the teachers are from all over the world and getting to it when they can. I remember this being explained to me in the first video. It slowed my progress slightly waiting for a response. I don't even feel this comment is necessary in a way... read more
the lessons were great. - I learned that only the practise will make you good at filling :-) It was good explained. :-)
I would love if there was a way to have some live interaction where an educator can watch some of the tasks like with product removal, so they can give live feedback. Also I would have liked to have the information on cuticle care and bits before the assignment with product removal on a live person or yourself. Since I was trying to have a nice application of product before removal it... read more
This course was perfect Of course I learn a lot about bits and rotation speed and how I can use bits safest way How you learn its just fantastic solveigakemzuraire111

I very much enjoyed the videos and information given - Use of the different drill bits The pace, the details and the opportunity to watch it over and over, Thank you for giving me confidence to use the electric drill!

Yes videos were so helpful i already have a degree on pedicure and im doing pedicures for 3 years now but those lessons taught me a better way ! thnx ! I think everything was explained well ! Thank you so much those lessons were so helpful ! you helped me become so much better :)
I enjoyed this course, I liked the cuticle work sanitization and learning how tI remove cracks from a heel
I loved this course so much. The detail and timely teacher assistance was so helpful. I can not believe how much I've learnt and I am pleased I was able to execute what learnt and put the theory into practise.
Thank you so much.
Seda
Thank you so much.

I enjoyed the detailed videos by the professional nail techs. Here in America we can go to school only to find out our teacher is a hair stylist who has no experience with nails. I liked the wide range of topics that are covered.
I really did like everything! I was surprised at how much I learned! It was nice to keep being able to review units over and over again. The Pedicure 101 class was a great overview of all the basics for a great Pedi. The tasks were fun, original and helpful. The feedback from my Teacher was quick, apt and supportive. I learned many new things! I could list many, such as using the... read more
really comprehensive, easy to follow instructions. Thank you. I'm enjoying this course immensely. 😄
This is a great course. I have been doing pedicures for 20 years and I learned how to properly take care of all of the calluses. Thank you so much for all the great information. I am looking forward to taking more courses!
Yes Yes, I have been doing pedicures for 20 years. I have never treated cracked heels like this. I usually use a callous remover, then again their next visit and so on. It's nice to know I can help sooner! So far no I am liking the format of this class. It is easy to follow and understand. Thank you!
I thought the course was very educational, and I'm looking forward to the pedicure pro course :)
This lesson was very informative. In my area, the nail techs do not take as much care with sanitizing and disinfection as is shown here. The focus is more on getting everything done fast, while giving the illusion of full service (fancy chairs, scrubs and creams, hot stones, etc). I feel that this was a good introductory lesson, and preview for the full course, which I will look... read more

However I did like this class, it did have a lot of helpful information and it does teach what it promises and you do learn how to be a professional. :) Definitely.

#Polygel
Secrets of Sculpting with Polygel
I enjoyed so much this course. I never used polygel before so was very interesting. Yes, but just because was the first time trying polygel and the pink and white nails. I love so much learning new things and these courses are amazing.
Yes, very much This course was actually a bit easier for me, sometimes having to go back and a second review of the modules was very helpful. Overall, it went well. Everything is well presented and easy to understand .
I did enjoy the course and wish I had more practises to hand in. Funny but I enjoy the repetition of the tasks. It would be great to have the dual forms in the same course as while I was doing the sculpting I really wanted to finesse all aspects of poly gel. I do need more work with almond shaping as I was not catching on how to create a good c curve and still have side walls to create... read more
Yes the course was thorough throughout and I was able to revisit lessons over and over plus able to work at my own pace. Yes. It would be useful in the training videos to show the finished look from all angles. I did struggle with the pink and white practice and had to attempt this practice several times. Overall it paid off as the more times I did it the better I got. Thanks Kisa... read more
Yes :blush: many tips and tricks to cut the forms. Which will help me with gel and acrylic.
Good videos, short with good information. The only difficult thing for me was to do my right hand. But with challenge, you get better.

I did learn a lot from this course!Little tips and tricks and explanations what to do when certain things happen helps understand material and techniques better.Thank you for new knowledge! Yes-time!It still takes long time to do correct material placement especialy around cuticle area but obviously I need more practice.Other than that no struggles.
I loved this course, with many tips. A clarification of the explanations in the videos, everything is well done and easy to understand. I recommend without hesitation I learned a lot. I had no difficulty attending classes. Everything is well explained and if we do not understand some we can ask questions or read the questions of other people. It's a class really well done I think to... read more
Becuse of This nails pro academy ,Even though I just started working for couple days at nail salon, I can beat with other nails tech, who already got 10 + year experiences:)
Yes, more than expected:) Not at all. The course is so easy to follow and help me to become a better and professional nail technician:)
I enjoy the course very much! I’m looking forward to take more classes later on. I was having struggles with the forms, but it gets easier and easier. Now I have to practice so it gets perfect:)

#dualforms
Dual forms
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.
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.
It was difficult just because I did not have the right dual forms, my dual forms can only be used with clear polygel, and I can’t take new one in time for the end of this training
The more difficult was for me the pink and white application, but I think that with the practice I’ll be able to achieve great results :) It was very useful. Last year I attempt a class in Milan, but I wasn’t satisfied at all. I really like how Anastasia explains the technique and I really love managing when and where take the online classes. The only advice I’d love to share with you... read more
no, not really - naturally it takes some practice to learn a new technique. But finding time in the busy everyday life is challenging :-)
Very usefull. I belive I might use the technique when doing my own nails (not french) but on clients I still think it is faster with usual forms, and also I like that the underside cures dry and smooth. Looking forward to taking another class with... 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.
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. I like the dual forms, However, I have decided to perfect sculpting instead. I may use dual forms for short nails. However, I might have to use them until My time and skill are better. Acrylic is so much easier because I have done it for so... read more

Yes I loved it Getting some of the products You describe everything clearly so I knew exactly what to do
Yes, lots of fun and unique designs I dont have some materials to work with. The biggest struggle was not having green colour gels Great course with great designs and techniques by great nail artists. I learned new techniques. Totally worth it
Yes, very much Yes. I did not have everything that I needed like acrylic, spider gel and doing fine lines. I recommend this course but I would have wanted a list of products that I needed. I've learned a lot
Yes, I have, I've had to buy more nail art supplies (not complaining at all as it combined two of my favourite things to do - shopping and nails!!) throughout the duration of this course and actually gain knowledge on how to use each item that I purchased. My nail art offerings for my clients will be so varied now after completing this course! Just the waiting for supplies, I would... read more
Thank you for the training . I really liked it and have learned new techniques and discovered new products. Also during the course I have assembled a nice portfolio of nail art, so now I can show everybody what I am able to do. Very happy with that.
I love this course I learned a lot and enjoyed the videos beautiful experience!
Thank you for yet another good class. I found the tips with use of basecoat and primer very helpfull.
Looking forward to my next class
Looking forward to my next class
Thank you for yet another good class. I learned some new techniques, that I will definately bring with me. The tip about using an acidfree primer to seal the edges are solving some of the problems I have experienced before with ex. foil. just the usual time-problems ;-) that cannot be blamed on you. It was very nice, that there were plenty of exercises - and few stop lessons.
I did both the bling and the nail art course and absolutely loved it praise to Kisa for her comments and advice thank you love Sjöfn Geirdal

I have learned how to use the color wheel as well how to use the rule of thirds on my nail tips. I have also learned many techniques that were new to me! I enjoyed all of it. Sometimes the videos weren’t entirely in sync with the voice over, but that’s easy enough to figure out. I’m looking forward to my next class! This was awesome! Thank you, Natasha!
Yes, I found this extremely helpful! I now finally understand how to create designs off the top of my head and how to pair multiple mediums together to create something balanced. This is the first course that has properly explained different art rules and how to apply them to nails. I love the rule of thirds and will be utilizing it often! I like everything about it! Just slightly more... read more
I have learnt so many new techniques on this course and it truly helped to have an in depth look at colour theory before launching into designs. The colour theory in this course has helped me in not only this course but other nail art courses on Nails Pro Academy. This was my first time using nail decals, I wasn't sure how to use them before taking this course and now I feel so... read more
I have learned about the use of color and designs I would never think of myself. Really nice to be able to have some new techniques to my disposal. I liked the whole course. Only improving point I can think of is letting the students practice more (more tips per design) .
Yes of course! Now I know better how to combine colors and balance the elements of the design. Everything was explained in details and also the tricks have helped a lot.
I learned a lot of which colors go well together, how to compose all the different elements and how to balance them. I liked that there was alternatives if you don't have something in your collection. For example if you don't have neon dry pigments, you could just use gel polishes or if you don't have water decals, you can use stickers, foils or even stamping.

I have learnt how to create 3D images on nails! It has been so much fun!
I have learned so much! I never thought myself as an artistic person so I really exceeded my expectations. Some videos didn't say we we're going to use watercolor technique until it was too late and I should've start all over so I had problems with blending colors in some missions. Also some of the videos were out of focus for most of the video so I couldn't see what... read more
I have learned that I too can paint realistic pictures on nails (sort of:-)) Also the 3D technique was new to me. I like that this course has made me do nail art which is far beyond my comfort zone. I would never have thought of making these kinds of nail art. I have no suggestions for improving the course. .
Yes sure! How to paint realistic things. No I am satisfied with the course.

#calligraphy
Artistic nail calligraphy
Yes. I learned you need a very steady hand to do caligraphy, persistance is a virtue. Very decorative & satisfying when you get it almost right . Be better with practice
Definitely I did. I had never thought to get into art but I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do so! Thank you for the instructions! I think that I’ll need to improve my speed, but as we all know, that comes with practice
I know I do have to learn a lot ☺️ but after these lessons I know I can do it
Absolutely! I enjoyed every bit of this course and appreciate being given an extension to complete it. I think everything was great. I would love to get more stencils if possible. Great course!
Yes! I don’t do a lot of nail art yet. My clients only want a glitter or sticker so this is nice to show them what else is possible! No, it was super. Good and clear explanation!
Yes, I learned how to sketch on the nail and how to have more controle of my brush No
I have as I've never tried Calligraphy nail art before. I would like for the number fonts to also be provided as a printable.
Yes how to draw letters and how to separate the letter in 4. Every steps are very explained. But Anastasia looks too serious on some videos
Yes definitely. It had helped me how to break up the design and achieve a perfect sketch. It had definitely helped me in the line work. It made hand painted nail art much easier for me and I am more confident in taking challenges. ThNk you so much. No there is nothing. Everything was perfect. If you can arrange more trainings like this, would be appreciated and helpful. Thank you
I learn how to divide a sketch to make it easier to draw
I learn to use a pencil if it helps
I enjoyed learning new things! Everything was great!!!

I enjoyed the classes. I struggled a bit with the swirls. I look forward to trying these techniques on my clients.
I liked it! only thing, is that it's kinda hard to see what he is doing when the camera films from the side and not from above. I struggeled with the swirls on paper.
It's good to learn, I enjoyed the class.! and I need to learn more techniques.
I enjoyed this course it’s always good to learn how others accomplish things I still need practice on fine lines
yes i did enjoy the course , i have struggles in using brushes but it's okay .i want to learn more techniques so i might take other courses after this.:relaxed:
thank you.
thank you.
This class was hard and rewarding. Some of the assignments showed me that one step that I have missed, was the key to Design working for me. I now have designs that are beautiful and. after much practice, I should be able to execute quickly'
Yea,I really enjoyed the course and all learning process. For me all of it was very new,so definitely I have learned a lot by now. Gonna use it all on myself or my future clients nails.
Thanks a lot for all and big recommendations to everyone who maybe is doubting take any of your courses or not!

yes really enjoyed the course. I would recommend nail tech to take this class.. the swirls was the hardest for me and making the lines very thin..
Doing this class was amazing. I learned more about myself with this. It has helped me understands how to do art on nails better. I still have a long way to go but I have faith in myself that I can do this. Thanks to Max for being so awesome and sharing and teaching.
