Choosing questions

Before you decide.

Which nail course should I choose as a complete beginner?

Complete beginners should usually start with the Gel Beginner practical course in Dublin 2 because it gives corrected foundations before moving into private upskill or advanced techniques.

Should I choose group, private or online nail training?

Choose group training if you need a structured beginner route, private training if you already practise and need correction, and online training if you need flexible study or revision first.

When should I book Private Upskill?

Book Private Upskill when you already practise nails and need Patricia to correct specific problems such as retention, lifting, BIAB structure, e-file control, shape, refill speed or finish.

Can I start with online nail courses first?

Yes. Online nail courses are useful for preparation and revision, especially for gel, BIAB and e-file topics. Students can then upgrade to practical training in Dublin when hands-on correction is needed.

What is the best route if I want to become a nail technician?

The strongest route is usually Gel Beginner foundations first, then online revision or Private Upskill for correction, followed by focused e-file, BIAB, refill and salon workflow improvement.

Decided?

Three questions. One right route.
