The structured online training for independent nail techs who are ready to be confident in their skill and charge premium prices.
You have been doing nails for a while. You watch tutorials, you try new products, you practice — but something still feels off.
Your sets lift before they should. You are not sure if it is your prep, your product, your lamp, or something else entirely. Every time it happens you go back to guessing.
You want to raise your prices but you do not feel consistent enough to justify it yet. And that inconsistency is costing you more than just confidence. It is costing you clients, redos, and income.
The problem is not your talent.
The problem is that you were never taught a proper foundations system. And you cannot build predictable results on an incomplete foundation.
That is exactly what this training fixes.
You will know the exact prep sequence that eliminates lifting — and why every step exists
You will understand cuticle work at a level most nail techs never reach
You will have the structure and apex knowledge to build nails that last and look premium
You will be able to diagnose any retention problem, yours or a client's and fix it systematically
You will have the consistency and confidence to charge what your work is actually worth
This is not a collection of tutorials. This is a complete system — taught in sequence, corrected personally, built to last.
This training is specifically designed for you if:
You are an independent nail tech struggling with lifting that comes back no matter what you try
You have been doing nails for 1 to 5 years but your results still feel inconsistent
You want to learn Russian Manicure properly — not just the technique but the full foundations system behind it
You want personal feedback on your actual work — not just videos to watch alone
You are ready to invest in building the kind of skills that justify premium pricing
Nail techs looking for a quick fix or a hack
Anyone not willing to submit work and receive honest corrections
Beginners who have never held a nail file — this requires basic nail experience
This module is your starting point. Before you touch a tool, a client, or a nail — you need to understand what this course is built on, what the standard is, and what you need to have in place before Module 1 begins. This is not filler content. The way you start determines the way you work. Take your time here
Premium service starts before your e-file is turned on. This module covers the professional standard that exists before any tool touches your client — sterilized tools, correct hand prep, and the habits that separate a basic service from one that clients trust completely. None of this is complicated. All of it matters
Premium service starts before your e-file is turned on. This module covers the professional standard that exists before any tool touches your client — clean zone, sterilized tools, correct hand prep, and the habits that separate a basic service from one that clients trust completely. None of this is complicated. All of it matters
Removal is not the beginning of a new set. It is the end of the previous one. How you remove old product determines what the next product has to bond to — and most lifting problems start here, not in the application. This module teaches you how to remove correctly, how to read the nail during removal, and how to leave behind a surface that gives your new set the best possible foundation.
TThis is where retention is built or broken. Most lifting problems that techs blame on product or clients actually start in prep — in a step that was rushed, skipped, or done in the wrong order. This module teaches you the complete prep sequence from hand position and tool hold through to the final check before product touches the nail. No cuticle work yet — that comes in Module 5. This module is about building a prep sequence so consistent that your results become predictable.
This is the module that defines Russian Manicure. The cuticle work sequence — wood stick, flame bit, scissors, diamond ball — is what creates the clean, defined result that clients pay premium prices for and that no other technique produces. It is also the most technical work in the course. We go slowly. We go in order. And by the end of this module your cuticle work will be something you understand at a technical level — not just something you attempt and hope for the best.
The cuticle work is done. Now we shape the nail and prepare it for product. This module covers two steps that are often rushed because they come so close to the visible part of the service — but they directly determine how professional the finished set looks and how well the product bonds. Shape comes from a system, not habit. And the final cleaning before product is the last line of defence before anything goes on the nail.
Product application is where everything you have built in the previous six modules becomes visible. But this module is not about aesthetics — it is about structure. A nail that looks beautiful on day one and lifts at day ten was built wrong. A nail that looks clean and holds for four weeks was built right. This module teaches you to build right — for the specific nail in front of you, for the client's real life, and for results that are consistent enough to charge confidently for.
Retention is not one step. It is a system — and when something in that system fails, it always leaves a clue. This module teaches you to read those clues, troubleshoot calmly instead of guessing, and respond to client concerns in a way that reflects the standard of work you have built. By the end of this module you will know what to check first, what questions to ask, and exactly how to tell the difference between a technique issue and a client factor.
How much is your technique actually costing you — in dollars, per year? This worksheet breaks down the exact income you are losing through 6 common technique gaps, shows you the math, and lets you calculate your own number. By the last page you will know exactly what mastering this course is worth to your business.
This is what makes this training different from every course you have taken before.
Each module you submit one complete set — photos and a short video showing your process and result.
Within 24 to 48 hours you receive detailed, personal corrections. Not generic feedback. Specific observations about your actual work — what is right, what needs adjustment, and exactly why.
You will know precisely what to fix before you move to the next week.
This is not passive learning. This is controlled, documented improvement — with someone reviewing your real work every single stage.
I am Maya — nail artist, educator, and founder of Cahya Nails in London, Ontario.
I was told early in my career that I was too slow to make it as a nail tech. I doubted myself for longer than I should have. I spent years figuring out through trial, error, and too many frustrated clients what a proper foundations system actually looked like.
When I finally built that system — and started applying it in the right order, every time — everything changed. My retention became predictable. My clients stopped asking for redos. I stopped being afraid to raise my prices.
I built this training because no one taught me this when I needed it. And I know there are nail techs right now going through exactly what I went through — talented, hard-working, and being held back by gaps in their foundations that were never anyone's fault.
This training is what I wish I had been given in my first year.
Early Access: $999 CAD or 2 payments of $549 CAD Price increases to $1,299 once the first students complete the course. Enroll today and start immediately.
Here is an honest way to think about this investment:
One lifting set costs you a redo appointment, a frustrated client, and lost trust. Multiply that across a year of inconsistent retention — the cost of staying where you are is significantly higher than the cost of this training.
The knowledge you build in these 4 weeks stays with you permanently. Every client you serve for the rest of your career benefits from it.
