In this course you will learn everything you need to know about building nails from acrylic to create stunning enhancements for your clients.
You'll also use gel polish on natural nails as well as a finish for the acrylic.
On this One to One course, you will learn Gel Polish & Acrylic over 11 hours of in person training split into 2 x 5.5 hour practical sessions.
All your theory work is done online prior to coming for your hands on training in my private academy based in Colchester Essex. (Located at basement level with stepped access)
As a neurodiverse tutor and specialist in working with adults with barriers to learning, I cater to everyone who wants to learn, in their own learning style. Before you come to the course I will ask you to complete some forms to assess how your brain likes to process information best, and then I tailor the whole course to teach you in that way. There's also space to let me know about other things you may want to discuss, such as anxiety or difficulties with reading/writing. That way, together, we can find a way to support you best in your new exciting nail journey.
On this course we cover:
- Anatomy & Physiology including nail and skin disorders, diseases and other reasons why we may not be able to carry out nail services, or need to adapt services on clients.
- Health & Safety - this includes how to safely work for you and your clients, covering risk assessments, posture, COSHH and more.
- Salon Hygiene - how do we safely clean our work areas and tools as well as keeping ourselves to a professional standard.
- Salon Protocols - this looks at how we should operate as professional nail technicians/artists. We cover legalities, insurance and policy setting.
- Client Consultation & Aftercare - this is integral to ensuring client safety and suitability for service as well and keeping everything safe and within insurance guidelines.
- UV Light & Lamp Training - how to choose the correct lamp for your gel based system and why. This session teaches you how gel cures and why we need a specific lamp to ensure we are curing our gel safely and fully.
- Full Gel Polish Services - we look at different gel systems, how to prep the nail and apply a good base for maximum adherence, neat gel polish application, finishing techniques and removal. We also look at troubleshooting each step.
- Full Acrylic Services - acrylic is the most difficult nail service to master but so rewarding when we do! We start with looking at how to choose the right brushes and how to prep and maintain them. Then comes the liquid and powder. How do we choose one that's right for us? How do they work and how do we get the right bead and ratio. We move on to building structure and 'zones' before looking at creating length, shaping, refining, infills, rebalance and then removal.
- Lifetime support - once you complete your online and in person training with me the support doesn't end there! You get online ongoing support whenever you need it via student groups and messaging. Top up and refresh sessions are available as well as videos and voice notes to refresh and parts forgotten or to help troubleshoot.
