What to expect from this work shop:
This intensive class is for anyone wanting to learn a new skill but has an already busy schedule so a weekend option works best.
In this class we cover a lot! I want to make sure that my students understand that once they attend my class I will continue a mentorship with them. I do not disappear after 3 days. I am always just a text, DM, or phone call away.
I offer follow ups to my students (via facetime currently) where you can watch me work on a client while asking questions. This mentorship is invaluable to your journey in the nail industry.
This class will give you back what you put into it. I always say, “To be great at this don’t overwhelm yourself. Just practice even one nail a day and you will see your work rapidly improving.” I still practice daily myself and as an artist this is very important.
Class completion:
Upon completion you will receive a certificate which will allow you to sign up to shop at various professional beauty supplies. These include (but are not limited to) valentino beauty, ugly duckling , modern beauty (amazing hair supplies at pro discounts) & my personal favorite details beauty supply in Langley.
