Nail Tech Foundations

Hey, welcome — I'm really glad you're here. Whether you've never touched a nail file in a professional setting or you've been doing your own nails for years and want to make it official, this course is built for you. You don't need any experience to start. You just need to show up willing to learn. I want to be upfront with you from day one: I know that for some people, being back in a learning environment doesn't feel great. Maybe you've been told you're not a "hands-on" person. None of that matters here. This is a practical course taught by someone who has been exactly where you are — and I'm not here to make you feel like you're being tested. I'm here to teach you. Here's what we're going to cover together: How nails actually work — the anatomy, the structure, and why that matters for the services you'll be doing Hygiene and safety — not the boring version, the version that protects you and your clients Manicure and pedicure techniques; done properly from start to finish Gel products — gel polish, builder gel, and hard gel — what they are, how they work, and how to apply them E-file technique — safely and confidently Nail art basics so you can start building your creative style The business side — how to manage clients, handle bookings, price your work, and show up professionally You'll also have access to downloadable resources throughout the course to support what we cover in person. Take your time with each section. There's no race. The goal isn't to rush through — it's to actually understand what you're doing and feel confident doing it. Let's get started.
