Private Upskill · 1:1 · Dublin 2
This is the price route for Private Upskill 1:1 — and it starts with your work, not a checkout. Send Patricia your current sets, your weak point and the correction you need; she confirms the right session format, the quote and availability before you book anything.
How pricing works
Private Upskill is not priced like a generic online product, because the right session depends on your current level, the technique problem and how much correction you actually need. The route is simple:
Show your current sets before asking for a price — side view, cuticle area, lifting, refill work or the e-file problem you keep hitting.
She confirms whether Private Upskill is right for you — or whether Gel Beginner, online prep or another route is the smarter spend.
You get the recommended session format, the quote and availability before committing to a private date. No payment link until the session makes sense.
What the quote confirms
A useful quote is more than a number. Before you book, you will know what problem Patricia will correct, how long the session should be, and what to prepare before arriving at 71 Dame Street, Dublin 2. The strongest private session targets one clear fix — retention, BIAB, e-file control, refill workflow, shape, speed or finish — instead of repeating a full course you already know.
What to send
Tell Patricia if you are practising on yourself, still training, or already working with clients — it changes the session format.
Recent photos of lifting, shape, apex, thickness, cuticle area, e-file prep or refill work. The better the photos, the more accurate the recommendation.
Pick one correction to lead with: retention, BIAB, e-file, refill speed, shape or finish. Patricia builds the session around it.
Right route check
You are in the right place. 1:1 correction is strongest when the basics exist and one weak point is holding your work back.
Use Gel Beginner first — private correction is more valuable after the foundations, and Patricia will tell you so rather than quote too early.

Choose Private Upskill if you already practise and need diagnosis on your own work. Choose a group beginner course if you still need the full foundation method.
