Well let’s get to the big elephant in the room. “How do I even get customer”? Doing nails is fun but most of us start doing nails because we want an (extra) income. We want to get paid for our work but how do we get paying customers? Many of us start with friends and family. But let’s get real, it doesn’t pay our bills does it? With my marketing and webmaster background I created a course guiding you step by step in this adventure. I run a full time salon with 15k+ revenue and a waiting list in a highly competitive area. I’d like to share how I did it. And no we don’t have 10k followers on Instagram or Tiktok 😉 Leave a comment down below if you struggle with finding customers or if you have questions about the topic 🖤

A common question I get asked while giving trainings: how can I get close enough to the cuticles WITHOUT flooding them? The answer to this issue is actually “simple”: prep the nails and cuticles correctly (with an e-file).It is the MOST important step of doing nails. Look at it like it is a painting 🖼️. When the artist wants to start painting, they need a blank, clean canvas. Free of oil, dust and other imperfections! And that is exactly what you need to achieve on all of the 10 nails. The prep is THE most important part and please do not skip it or rush it. It will change the application process completely. Your product will not flood in the cuticles and you will spend less time trying to fix it. Do you struggle with this part? Drop a comment and let’s see where the issue is 🖤

I remember that when I started as nail technician I had so MANY questions and everything seemed overwhelming. So I would like to ask you what are you struggling with? 🖤

If you're learning nails, you've probably experienced this... You open YouTube, TikTok or Instagram looking for an answer — and suddenly you're watching video after video after video. One nail tech tells you to do it one way. Another tells you something completely different. Which products do I actually need? Which tools should I buy? What should I learn first? What about nail anatomy and hygiene? When am I actually ready to start practising? At some point, all that information can become more confusing than helpful. I've been there too.... And that's one of the biggest reasons I created Professional Nail Academy. I wanted to create the kind of learning experience I wish I had when I was starting: one clear place where you can learn professional nails STEP BY STEP. Not just “here's how to do a manicure.” We start with the foundations. 💅 What materials, tools and equipment do you actually need? 🧼 How do you work hygienically and professionally? 🔬 What do you need to understand about the nail, skin and anatomy to provide safer services? 📚 How do products work — and why do we use them? ⚙️ How do you use your tools and e-file correctly? ✨ And then... how do you put everything together into professional techniques? The goal is for everything to connect. Learn the theory → understand the WHY → see the technique → practise → improve. Inside the Academy, I'll be sharing structured education, our Manicure & Pedicure Foundations, knowledge exams, weekly nail-tech cases and questions, practical demonstrations and new learning resources as we grow. And this is a community, not just a library. So ask questions. Share what you're struggling with. Share your work. And don't be afraid to say “I don't understand this yet.” Those questions will actually help shape what we teach next. 👋 Introduce yourself below Tell us where you're from, where you are in your nail journey, and the ONE thing that currently confuses you most about nails. I'll use your answers to help choose some of our first Weekly Nail Cases. 🖤

If you've ever tried to learn nails through YouTube, TikTok or social media, you'll know how quickly it can become overwhelming. One video tells you one thing. Another tells you something completely different. And it's difficult to know what you should actually learn first. That's why I created Professional Manicure Foundations — a comprehensive 131-page theory manual designed to give you a clear, structured foundation in professional manicure and nail technology. Instead of collecting random pieces of information, you can work through the theory step by step and understand not only how techniques are performed, but the knowledge behind them.

The goal isn't to overwhelm you with more information. It's to put that information into a clear learning path you can actually follow. 🖤 Professional Manicure Foundations is available now inside the Classroom for a one-time founding price of $27 Start with the foundations.
