Workstation & Hygiene
Setting up and organizing your station with a focus on efficiency and safety, including proper hygiene, disinfection, and sterilization of tools and work area.

Materials & Tools
A full walkthrough of the products and tools you'll need professionally: gel classification, hand file grits, and everything you need to know about e-files — how to choose the right one, plus bit types, classification, and abrasiveness.

Natural Nail Anatomy
How the natural nail is structured, the different nail plate types, and what that means for your technique.

Manicure Technique
Manicure and cuticle work done properly, including a correct combined manicure (e-file and nippers), with thorough nail plate and cuticle prep for optimal adhesion and a flawless foundation.

Preparation & Adhesion
The prep products, and the technique, that make the difference between a set that lasts and one that doesn't.

Extensions & Gel Application
Build extensions correctly to avoid cracking in the stress area, using self-leveling gels and foundational shaping technique.

Apex & Balance
What the apex actually is, why it matters, where it should be placed, what a correct apex looks like, and the most common mistakes and how to fix them.

Color Application
Even color application without shadows and without touching the skin, including application under the cuticle for a clean, long-lasting result.

Babyboomer
The dual-form technique behind a soft, symmetrical babyboomer fade; how to create clean, proportional transitions instead of patchy or uneven ones, and the typical mistakes that throw off the balance of the transition.

French & Finish
Correct French proportions for any nail length and width, the right top coat for your materials, and the finishing technique behind an even, long-lasting shine.

Building Your Business
How to market yourself and your work as a nail technician; building the visibility that gets you seen, and how to build a price list for your services that reflects your skills and your time, not just a guess.

Social Media & Reels
Reels are today the primary way new clients find their nail technician — not through still photos or word of mouth alone, but through video content on Instagram and TikTok. You'll learn how to turn a finished set into a reel that actually gets seen: what to film along the way, the formats and trends that perform, and how to build a consistent posting routine that turns your profile into a source of new clients.
