In the nail design courses, graduates learn the basic techniques of classic manicure, nail care and hand massage. They recognize the anatomy of the nail and can assess whether a nail cosmetic treatment may be applied. They master various techniques such as tips, gel, fiberglass, French manicure, stencils and acrylics to beautify, strengthen or lengthen the nails. As a nail designer, you will also be able to explain the proper use of care products to your customers and master the basics of a serious consultation and sales pitch.
