Course description: This specialised shaping and upskilling course is designed for experienced nail technicians who are ready to refine their technique, perfect their work, and correct any ongoing issues that may be holding them back from creating perfect nail extensions.
This intensive training day focuses on advanced shaping using both tips and forms within the gel system. You will learn how to correctly create and refine key salon shapes including almond, oval, square, and ballerina (coffin), with a strong emphasis on structure, balance, and precision.
Throughout the course, the entire nail creation process is analysed in the finest detail — from preparation and product control to building the correct structure, correct apex placement, and achieving a flawless finish. Any mistakes or problem areas are identified and corrected, ensuring you leave with a clear understanding of how to improve your work.
This is a highly focused, hands-on training where students are encouraged to ask questions and receive direct, personalised guidance. Particular attention is given to individual challenges, allowing you to confidently overcome any areas you may be struggling with and elevate your overall standard of work.
This is a fully AIT accredited and recognised course, delivered in line with the high standards of all training at The Nail Place.
