• Applying nail extensions
• Repairing cracked or broken nail enhancements
• Removing acrylic or gel nails
Not only will you do the above while working in Nail Technician jobs, but as part of our online Nail Technician course, you will learn everything you need to know about manicures, removing the need to take a separate manicure qualification.
This will enable you to offer clients treatments, such as manicures, as well as ensuring your client’s nails are free from any skin or nail problems.
Achieve Your Ambition
Nails is one the fastest growing and most lucrative sectors of the beauty industry. The nail industry has been expanding drastically over the last 10 years. For many people, getting their nails done is now a regular part of their routine. It not only complements their look and makes them feel great but getting treatments from a Nail Technician helps them maintain nail health.
With our online Nail Technician course, you can become part of this bustling beauty sector and provide an in-demand service. Undergoing this Nail Technician training will get you job ready!
Specialise in Acrylics and Gel
By combining the teachings from our Nail Technician Acrylic course and Nail Technician Gel course, you will gain a comprehensive knowledge of both systems.
Acrylic overlays are probably the most popular type of artificial nail used within the industry due to their durability making it an extremely profitable skill to learn.
They are often applied by a Nail Technician as an extension to the client’s natural nails.
Hard Gel nails are another popular choice for clients to have as artificial nails. They are very similar to acrylic nails; however, they tend to be more flexible. Through our online Nail Technician course, you can master the skills required to apply both popular options.
As well as learning the skills needed to be able to offer these services, you will also learn the basics of hygiene, salon management, maintenance, and aftercare.
