  3. A Stellar Gel Nail Polish Training Course with Trainer Katy (Birmingham)

    :

    Last week I completed an exceptional Gel Nail Polish training course instructed by the amazing trainer Katy.
    Katy left no stone unturned during the course, ensuring we gained a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. We began by delving into the important aspects of health and safety around nail treatments. Katy’s emphasis on maintaining a safe and hygienic environment was invaluable, ensuring both our clients’ and our own well-being.
    Next up was the intriguing exploration of the anatomy and physiology of the skin and nails. Katy’s expertise in this area was evident, and she effortlessly conveyed the knowledge to us in an engaging and approachable manner.
    One of the highlights of the course was the consultation procedure. Katy skillfully taught us how to conduct thorough consultations and effectively communicate with our clients. We gained insights into their preferences and expectations, ensuring we could deliver customised gel polish treatments tailored to their needs. We were also instructed on identifying crucial contra-indications specific to gel polish, enabling us to offer safe and suitable treatments at all times.
    The importance of preparing the natural nails for gel polish application was not overlooked. Katy adeptly guided us through the process of a dry manicure, equipping us with the skills to ensure a flawless and long-lasting result. Attention to detail was essential, and Katy provided valuable tips and techniques to achieve outstanding outcomes.
    I really enjoyed the application of block gel gel polish on both fingers and toes. Katy’s expertise shone through as she demonstrated the precise techniques, allowing us to practise and refine our skills. Katy even shared her knowledge on incorporating nail glitter and rhinestones, bringing that extra touch of glamour to our nail creations.
    Of course, proper removal techniques are just as important as application, and Katy made sure we were adept in handling the removal of gel polish. A gentle and careful approach was emphasised, ensuring our clients’ nails remain healthy and undamaged throughout the process.
    To sum it up, Katy’s Gel Nail Polish training course was nothing short of phenomenal. I left with an abundance of knowledge and practical skills that have elevated my nail treatments to new heights. If you’re looking to excel in the world of gel polish, I wholeheartedly recommend this course.

  5. Nail course

    :

    I did luxury manicure and pedicure, gel
    Polish, gel extensions and acrylic extensions, in that order. For anyone who is new to nails I would recommend that order as it helps with your understanding as you progress. I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed every part of the courses. There is a lot to learn but it’s been a really enjoyable experience.
