What you leave with

  • In-depth knowledge of the hard gel system.
  • The application method, practiced on a real model from start to finish.
  • The judgment to know which clients to use hard gel on, for the best retention and a safe result.

About your trainer

Portrait of the Elevate Manicurist trainer

I started my nail career in 2021. I've always been drawn to beauty, and to hands especially, so becoming a nail tech felt obvious. I left a full-time corporate job, where I trained teams and managed in B2B sales, to go 100% into nails.

I've trained in both soft gel and hard gel since the beginning. For me, the two systems coexist. A nail tech needs both, and needs to know which one is safe to use, and when.

The brand I've used most for over 5 years is Akzentz. I call it my love at first coat. I'm part of the Akzentz influencer program, Akzentz has reposted my work, and nail techs have asked me about this system many times. That is why this training exists.

In this day, you get my best methods and my best advice, so you leave confident, with every key in hand to offer this system to your clients with peace of mind.

How booking works

  1. Choose your formula and pay.
  2. You're taken straight to my calendar.

Every formula includes the full-day training, the certificate, lunch and snacks.

Without kit: you receive a product list. Buy everything on it before the training and bring it on the day. Make sure you have every item, so the day isn't affected.

With kit: your kit is ready at my studio on the day, and you take it home.

Follow-up: a private chat with me, for any questions, wins or problems you run into. It starts the day after the training. I reply within 2 business days.
