Who this course is for

Working nail techs ready to move into the premium price tier.

Admission assumes you already perform manicure services confidently — your own clients or salon work. If you are starting from zero, take Russian Manicure Specialist first; the Academy builds on that protocol rather than repeating it.

Format & schedule

The Academy is 40 hours across five full training days, usually split over two weeks (for example Monday–Wednesday, then the following weekend) so your hands recover between blocks. Evening-track groups run on request.

Every day ends with timed model work reviewed against a master checklist. Groups are capped at 4 students — this is the smallest format we run.

Included in the price

  • Professional bit & burr set for advanced protocols
  • Academy workbook with architecture maps and speed checklists
  • All practice materials and premium product lines during training
  • Live models daily, including problem-nail cases
  • Portfolio shoot on the final day — you keep the photos
  • Master Academy certificate
  • 60 days of instructor Q&A and case review after graduation

Career & income

Master-level positioning is about pricing power: a rebuilt premium menu, photographed proof of quality and a rebooking system that keeps a waitlist instead of chasing bookings. The Academy drills all three as daily practice.

For context, median pay for manicurists & pedicurists is $34,660/yr nationally before tips — the Academy is designed for specialists who intend to position above entry-level pricing.

Premium technique supports premium positioning — the Academy rebuilds your menu, consultation language and portfolio around it.

Specialist teaches the complete base protocol. The Academy assumes you already have it and spends 40 hours on speed, architecture, problem nails and premium positioning — the skills that move you into the top price tier.

Yes. We specifically recruit models with thin, damaged and bitten nails for the clinic module — that is the point of the training.

A practical assessment, not a written exam: a timed full service reviewed against the master checklist, plus your portfolio shoot.
