How to get started as a nail technician?

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. read more

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. read more

Thanks to all of you, I liked the marathon yes.
I didnt know that disposable materials needed to be sanitize before being dispose.

Jessika Martinez Arthur, 25 May 2021
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! read more
Felecia Hazelton, 1 May 2021
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 read more

Love the marathon, it's was great, helpful and educational. I learn to switch and prep my Instagram account. Learn a lot in regards to keep the place tidy and clean. Love the nail art will be trying those soon.
I definitely would of love to see more for those techs, likes in my case who are looking to do private service. A home nail place for private clients.
Thank you read more
Kirssy Mateo de Mago, 24 March 2021
I loved this marathon! I enjoyed the fact Anastasia shared with us her own journey on the first live. And learned a lot about the must have nail art brushes you need at the beginning and, most importantly, the right procedure for sanitisation, disinfection sterilisation. read more

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 quite a bit. I know with time it will all come together.
I struggled with overfilling as well.
I’ve been a nail tech for almost 14 years so breaking my bad habits and re-learning things the correct way is challenging. I really enjoyed the course overall. I’ve taken MANY classes, like multiple per year, most in person and in my opinion this class has been the most informative and professional. Giving reason as to WHY we do things and not just accepting that “that’s the way it’s done”.
I would have liked for one of our assignments to be showing how we fit our forms on a client. Like applying forms to a client then taking pics and not applying products. Then getting feedback from the instructors. I feel that this would have helped with some of my struggles. Also seeing a theory video of real time application, when we use the c- curve stick etc. Learning all the skills one by one is helpful but if we’re putting it to use on clients knowing when to do what in a timely manner during an actual service makes everything come together. Im curious about fills as well, doing a fill or back fill poses many different struggles than doing a full set, (lifting, downward growing nails, cracks, when clients wait too long and need a complete rebalance etc) not all clients will be full sets. I learned a lot. Product chemistry, how non acid and acid primers effect the nails and how they create addhesion as well as when to use which. I learned how to hand file and most importantly form fitting and placement. Also how to fit the form on problem nails. @cassie_nailz

I am still struggling with the C-curves and shaping the nail. Yes, I learned a lot of new things and got This is a great course, but I sometimes found the order of the sessions a little bit confusing, going back and forth to some topics. For some of these topics coming back, it might have been beneficial to combine them in slightly longer sessions to get it more gathered together. This would also make it easier to refer back to.
It would have been very helpful with more detailed examples of sculpting nails on real hands (or practice hands) using forms (as with the tip). Some more information and examples of pinching the nail would also have been very helpful.

I love that your instructors are strict and only accept work that is done correctly! The tutorials are very pleasant to watch and Anastasia is beautiful. Thank you so much :) I was really struggling with overfilling when I first purchased my e file. I lover filed my own nails so badly due to using the wrong bits at the wrong speed at the wrong angle. I really learned how to properly use the machine and improve my results. I still have a lot of learning and practicing to do. Thank you for a wonderful course. I can't think of anything at the moment. I think the pricing was fair, and the feedback pretty prompt. The only minor thing would be to increase the turnover approval/rejection time frame for submitted work. Thanks again :)

Because of this it would take me FOREVER to be able to finish a set of nails due to the filing with a hand file taking so long. Now, I have learned so much after taking this course like which bits are used for what and what all the different abrasive marks/ colors are and what they are all used for and how to be confident and safe using my e-file. For that, you have no idea how grateful I am. It has literally takes me 3 times less time to do a set than it was before. I love the format and the work at your own pace type set up and I really love that all the instructors are here for you if you do have any questions and they actually get back to you when you ask them. Thank you so much for everything and I will most definitely be taking more course in the very near future!!!!!

Yes allways something to improve, some of the video had some technicals problems, just check that :)
And some lessons was to repetitive ( using scrub and cream in the feets) well, I wish it was something more for a pro class dere in that session. One time should be enough to learn about how to apply scrub and cream.

I learned how to use an electric drill to do pedicure work and I found that the electric drill does a better job of cleaning the cuticle than manually done, its a lot quicker and it saves time and tension on your wrists. I will surely use my electric file to do pedicures now that I know how efficient it can be and how versatile it is. When it comes to products one should use I think that its up to us to decide what is best for the client and looking at the texture and ingredients also helps. I also know that the speed at which you run the drill can affect the perfomance of the service...too slow and the bit skips or stops completely and it also vibrates a little and if you run it too fast you lose control of the bit or you run the risk of damaging the nail plate and the client can feel discomfort because they can feel the bit too much on the nail. Don't repeat lessons from Pedicure 101.
Change it up so that each lesson feels completely new and different.
Make the tests have more questions like instead of 3 questions do 12 or 20 questions so its more challenging.
That's it! :)

Sara Carta, 12 May 2021
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 . read more

I did enjoy the course and wish I had more practises to hand in. Funny but I enjoy the repetition of the tasks.

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 this curve like the square. Maybe more information and detail is needed for this section.

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 moreYes the course was thorough throughout and I was able to revisit lessons over and over plus able to work at my own pace. Yes.

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. read more

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. read more
Milginta Kraujelyte Tubutiene, 27 December 2020
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
Kai Seng, 22 May 2019
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 read more
Ylenia Marullo, 22 May 2019
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 it’s that the website could improve a little bit. I use my iPad to take classes, sometimes I have difficult uploading the pictures. It is just my opinion :)
Stefania Di Vittorio, 21 May 2019
no, not really - naturally it takes some practice to learn a new technique. But finding time in the busy everyday life is challenging :-)

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.

My nail art offerings for my clients will be so varied now after completing this course! Just the waiting for supplies, I would have finished sooner if I didn't have to wait for supplies. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I've learnt so much, far more than I ever did on my initial nail course, I still feel pretty new to the industry, I'm nearly 2 years qualified in nail technology and this course has helped my confidence so much, getting feedback on my work has been so beneficial to me not only for my nail artistry but building up my confidence too! Thank you!
Collette Smith, 27 November 2020

Collette Smith, 29 November 2020
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) . read more
Aleid Timmer, 16 August 2020
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. read more
Enxhi Margjeka, 14 August 2020
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. 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.
