Nail designer: take the first step towards self-employment with the right training

The demand for nail designers is increasing. More and more consumers are attaching importance to professional and continuous beautification of their fingernails.

Questions and answers

Not every training course in nail design is suitable for starting your own business straight afterwards. If you have this wish, you should make sure that you attend a comprehensive course that prepares you fully for this task, gives you routine and therefore also lasts for a longer period of time. One-day nail designer seminars are not recommended as preparation for self-employment.

The nail design profession is increasingly being recognized as an independent specialist field. Solid and practice-oriented training with a recognized qualification is just as necessary for a good start as continuing education, further training. Find out more about the nail design course and its benefits from the providers.

The cost of nail design training varies depending on the provider. For shorter courses, the costs are between 350 and 1,300 francs. For longer courses, you can expect to pay between 2,700 and 3,500 francs. Ask the individual providers about the costs and the services included.

You should have the following personal requirements for the nail designer course:

  • Aesthetic appearance
  • Enjoy dealing with people
  • Creativity in modeling and at the same time for the joy of filigree handwork
  • Desire for independence with own business
  • Implementing personal responsibility for your own business
  • Interest nail problems, trends, care...
  • Stamina to practice the profession seriously
  • You value a serious education. The nail design profession is a service in the healthcare sector.
  • A nail designer must be able to set herself apart and take a step back.
  • Being self-employed without relapsing means - taking a strong business background into account
If you want to work as a nail designer, you need basic knowledge of hand and nail care, modeling and decorating, as well as customer service. In a nail designer training course, you will learn exactly this and much more, depending on the type of training you choose. There are a number of different courses that focus on different areas and have different requirements in terms of your previous training and objectives.
For example, a course that teaches you special nail design techniques may take two hours, while another course that teaches you all the techniques and basic knowledge may even take several months. The duration of the Federal Professional Examination for Nail Designers is more clearly regulated and takes 1.5 to 2 years.

The theory of a Nagel Desiner training course usually includes:

  • Hygiene
  • Anatomy of the nail
  • Nail diseases
  • Basic techniques
  • Workflows
  • Product training

Nail designer training teaches you the following:

  • Anatomy of the nail
  • Hygiene
  • Liftings
  • Nail shapes
  • Filing and milling
  • Correct nail modeling with filling gel
  • Deepening and optimization of nail modeling
  • Shellac manicure
  • Fashionable nail art
  • Marketing
  • Studio foundation and management
  • Customer service
The admission requirements for the nail designer courses can vary greatly. If the course you have chosen is a continuing education, further training course, it is likely that existing knowledge of manicure and nail design will be required. However, there are also a number of courses that do not require any prerequisites and are ideal for beginners and newcomers to this field who have little or no experience in this area. It is therefore best to enquire directly with the individual providers about the admission criteria for the respective seminars. For those who are already working as a nail designer and would like to continue their training, a Federal Professional Examination is ideal, for which you must meet the following requirements:
  • Cosmetician Federal VET Diploma and at least two years of professional experience in nail design

or

  • Completion of three years of basic training and three years of professional experience in nail design and completion of three basic modules

and

  • Required modules or certificate of equivalence

After the nail design course you will have the following skills:

  • carry out professional beauty treatments on nails
  • carry out sophisticated treatments based on specialist knowledge
  • check the health of your hands and fingernails

To work as a nail designer, you do not necessarily need a federal professional certificate, which you receive after passing a Federal Professional Examination. A comprehensive and professional nail design course may well be sufficient for a job in nail cosmetics.

Swissnaildesign.ch is the official professional association of Swiss nail designers and awards a quality certification for professionals. This Q-label confirms that professionals have in-depth theoretical knowledge and is proof of sound practical knowledge. It also guarantees impeccable hygiene conditions in the studio and thus helps consumers to find a high-quality nail studio. In addition to professional experience and practice, a prerequisite for admission to the Q-Label certification examination is basic technical and theoretical training in accordance with the training profile of the professional association. Good nail design training therefore meets these requirements of the SERI-recognized professional association and takes about a year. The course for the module examinations for the federal certificate in the professional field of beauty (for medical cosmetics, vitality cosmetics, nail designer, make-up artist or dermapigmentologist) from the SFBI can also be regarded as the best nail design training, as it is even federally recognized.

Nail training is not necessarily a federally recognized training course, but usually training courses at various nail cosmetics schools or nail design schools that teach you basic techniques or special nail design techniques. After completing the nail design course, you will usually receive a certificate confirming your participation. However, there are also federally recognized continuing education, further training courses for nail designers, such as the Federal Professional Examination for Nail Designers.

A survey of prospective students revealed that 76% of respondents sent school inquiries to nail design schools after reading an online review. In contrast, 18% did so after a recommendation. 6% knew the school/s that were contacted for detailed information about this training. The online presence of schools is also becoming increasingly important, as shown by optional answers from survey participants: "Internet", "Google" and "because of the online course". This is why many schools are improving their online visibility by being listed on the education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Someone else was looking for "more choice". Or for the right location "geographically", "close to my home", "near me" and "location". Another reason could also be: "was the only option".

The admission requirements for the nail designer courses can vary greatly. If the course you have chosen is a continuing education, further training course, it is likely that existing knowledge of manicure and nail design will be required. However, there are also a number of courses that do not require any prerequisites and are ideal for beginners and newcomers to this field who have little or no experience in this area.
