Training built from real salon experience — not trends.
Learn Russian Manicure foundations, dual forms, and advanced structure — in the format that works best for you.
I did not start with confidence.
I started rushed, underpaid, and guessing. Long salon hours, inconsistent results, and sets that lifted before they should. I was told I was too slow. That maybe this was not for me.
What changed everything was learning foundations in the correct order. Not new products. Not faster technique. Just the right sequence — done properly, every single time.
When my results became predictable — my pricing changed. My clients changed. My business changed.
Every training I offer is built around that same principle. Foundations before speed. Control before aesthetics. Systems before shortcuts.
Whether you learn online or in person — you leave with a system you can trust on every client, every appointment.
Start with Foundations if you want retention + premium results.
Step 1 — Foundations (Start here) Build clean prep, safe cuticle work, and retention that lasts. Stop doing free fixes. Start trusting your results.
Step 2 — Advanced Technique Refine structure, apex placement, and product control. Build sets that look expensive and perform in real life.
Step 3 — Business Growth (Coming Soon) Price with confidence, attract better clients, and create stable monthly income without burnout.

Here is a simple way to decide:
Choose the online course if: You are an independent nail tech who wants to learn at your own pace with personal weekly corrections — and you are already working on real clients.
Choose the in-person Russian Manicure intensive if: You prefer learning in person with real-time feedback, or you are an absolute beginner who wants to start with direct guidance from day one.
Choose the in-person Dual Forms + Foundations if: You want to offer both Russian Manicure and nail extensions — and you want both skill sets taught properly, together, in two focused days.

You need basic hands-on experience with real clients. If you have been doing nails for a few months or more — you are ready. Complete beginners are better suited to the in-person training where corrections happen in real time.
No. Both in-person programs are designed for absolute beginners through advanced nail techs. The training is adapted to where you are starting from.
You bring a model to practice on and your existing nail tools and products. A full supply list is sent when you book your spot so you know exactly what to prepare.
Yes — both in-person programs are open to anyone who can travel to London, Ontario. Contact us to discuss available dates and logistics.
Yes. A deposit is required to secure your spot for both in-person programs. Full details are provided when you enquire.
Yes. The online course is available as a full payment of $999 CAD or two payments of $549 CAD.
You submit questions alongside your weekly work. Every correction response addresses your specific questions about that week's submission directly.
Most nail techs struggle not because they lack talent.
They struggle because they were never taught foundations properly — in the correct order, with the reasoning behind each step.
Every program here fixes that.
Whether you learn online or in person — you leave with a system you can trust. Clean results. Predictable retention. And the confidence to charge what your work is actually worth.
