From DIY Nails to Nail Tech: Laura’s Beginner Nail Course Journey

From DIY Nails to Nail Tech: Laura’s Beginner Nail Course Journey

Laura used to do her own nails at home with only a hand file. One day she decided she wanted to learn professionally and become a nail tech — so she booked my Beginner Nail Course.

Before the nail course

Laura was a complete beginner. Removing old product by hand took her almost two full days to finish both hands.

The moment she tried an e-file

As soon as Laura tried an e-file during training, she couldn’t believe how much quicker and safer the process became.

What Laura learned in the Beginner Nail Training

  • Quick & safe e-file product removal
  • Cuticle prep for a clean, healthy finish
  • How to strengthen natural nails with BIAB
  • How to reinforce nails with polygel
  • Nail repair techniques
  • Under-cuticle gel polish application for a flawless finish

Bonus lessons

  • Nail photography basics
  • Nail tech Instagram basics

Laura made incredible progress in a short time — and I’m so proud of how far she’s come!
