Beginner to Pro: 5-Days Program

This program is designed for new nail technicians and working artists who want to
refresh or deepen their theory and practical skills. I am a practitioner, not just a
theorist. In training you need precise knowledge, precise movements, clear demos,
and explanations that are accessible and easy to follow—plus guidance and
motivation. I focus mainly on practice, but always together with clear theory and
explanations. I also teach problem-solving not only on the nails, but in client service,
communication, and client retention. My goal is to pass on my knowledge and
experience so you can become confident, professional specialists.

What you’ll learn
● Nail types, anatomy, shapes
● Common nail diseases and risk awareness
● Sterilisation, disinfection, cleaning
● Safety and workstation setup
● E-file techniques and drill bits
● Tool and material selection
● Working with clients and service standards
● Correct gel selection
● Shapes: almond, oval, square
● Clean nail preparation
● Working with forms (not tips)
● Combined cuticle care
● Product placement to minimise filing
● Clean polish application without flooding
● French line painting
● Infill and corrections (one full day dedicated)
● Photo workflow for social media

What’s included
● ABNails quick-reference guide
● Certificate of completion for each training day (issued by me)
● Support for follow-up questions after the course

What to bring
● Your e-file, diamond and carbide bits, nippers, scissors, tweezers, gel
brushes, and a fine liner for French. (If you don’t have them, you can
purchase them from me during training.)
● Models for practice. (If you struggle to find one a few days before, contact me
and I will help.)
● An apron or workwear suitable for training
● All other materials are provided by me
