You’re trained, you’re booked, great

From the outside no one would ever question your work 👀

Butttttt you know when your work isn’t quite right

Not bad, just not a good as it could be 🫤

Most techs stay in this same place, busy, repeating the same level of work year after year

If you want your work to improve, you need your work to stay current, you need someone to watch what your doing and correct any mistakes holding you back ⭐️

Ready to tighten up your work???

Still fixing the same problems every set??

Continuous lifting 🥺

Patching up breakages (that you pray will last) 🩹

Prep that never looks as clean as you want in photos 📸

At some point, it’s not just the product or client 🙈

If nothing changes, nothing will ever improve

In a Refine 1:1 everything gets corrected there and then

This is when your work improves ⭐️

Dm 1:1 if you are ready to see improvement in your work

La Finish File 🇫🇷

Filing at the very end of the mani - I’ve been doing this for years and not once has it negatively impacted a manicure or caused lifting/chipping

Note - I would only recommend it when you have a structured base of some sort, BIAB, hard gel etc

It actually strengthens the free edge area up! Plus makes your mani look clean and expensiveeeee 🤑

I use a nice thin file to really get in there 💪🏻 (this file was a little thick to be fair, but it did the job)

I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t do it?!? Takes 2 secs! *maybe a bit longer*

This step is taught in every Refine course ✌🏻

She chose BIAB for the colour 🙈

But it’s not what her nails needed! BIAB couldn’t give her the strength! She’s a busy mum, heavy handed and is washing and sanitising her hands all day

All of that combination = broken nail

(We had been doing hard gel previously and no issues!)

Luckily I know a super quick fix to mend a broken nail 👌🏻🥇 and it doesn’t require faffing around customising paper forms

Hard gel to the rescue 🛟

This wasn’t about a product issue, the product was just the wrong choice for her nails

This is exactly what we will be covering in Refine Pro Hard Gel Masterclass

A student asked if being introverted would hold her back

She was worried about having to talk all day and feeling drained

Being quiet or introverted is not a weakness!

You’re not there to perform 🎪 you’re there to give an awesome set of nails

Please don’t feel like you need to carry the conversation, be a councillor or talk about subjects your not comfortable talking about

Set the tone and set the boundaries from the beginning

Your brain is doing more work in training than your hands ever will!

While you sit there taking in a new technique your brain is working hard building new pathways ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

That’s why you start out super focused and over the day your concentration dips and you leave feeling mentally tired

It’s all part of the process & this is how your brain builds new skills 👌🏻

Make sure pre training you are well rested, have a good breakfast and stay hydrated during the day, take breaks when needed

Post training it’s really important to go back over everything you have learnt while it’s fresh in your mind

Use it or lose it 👊

Qualified
Booked
Still not happy with your results?

All techs reach this this stage 🥹

You finished your course, you work hard to build your clients, you work consistently but something still feels a bit off with your work?

Prep isn’t as clean as you’d like, structure isn’t sitting right, experiencing lifting?

This is where focused in person training is needed, 1:1 training looks at every part of the process

Two days of Refine training is designed to correct the details affecting your results

⭐️ Russian style E-File prep
⭐️ In depth cuticle detailing
⭐️ Either Structured BIAB or Hard Gel application
⭐️ Nail Repairs
⭐️ Painting so good it looks like it growing straight from the cuticles

This is where clean work starts

While you’re waiting, someone else is getting better

Waiting feels safe, I think we’ve listening to enough podcasts, read enough self help books blah blah blah to know that NOTHING good comes from your being in your comfort zone

Waiting to book training,
Waiting to practice what you’ve learnt,
Waiting to start that career.

(for me it’s waiting to watch the online courses I’ve bought, to find out they’ve expired 🥹)

Absolutely F all changes while you wait

Skill improves through repetition & confidence builds through action 🫡 (stick this on your mirror)

If your tired of staying the same, this month i have the following courses available -

23rd & 24th Natural nail beginners course

27th Refine Pro Hard Gel Masterclass

28th Essential Efile Masterclass

1 x space available for a personalised 1:1 💓

The class I nearly didn’t run

Hard gel was something I spent a year hyperfixating/studying, testing products, fixing my own nail issues and my clients broken nails, downward growing nails etc

But i wondered if it was something that anyone would want training in? Im known for being one of the first Perth techs to use and be trained in BIAB and I’ve built a whole career off it for the past 6+ years, but I took a leap of faith and back in November I decided to teach the first introductory Hard Gel masterclass, where the students learnt all about different hard gels, prep, different nail fixes, overlays and working with hard gel

The industry has taught us to treat builder gel as the answer to everything, it has become the default for every manicure

This is not me shi*ting on builder gel! I LOVE builder gel and it’s great for certain nails

Builder gel belongs in the salon 💯 but so does hard gel

This is why this class exists

If the nails keep cracking in the same place, it may not just be your client being heavy handed

Most of the time it is:

⚡️Builder gel used on nails that need more strength
⚡️Focus being solely on the apex area and too much product being pulled away from the growth points, leaving that weak part exposed and weak
⚡️Too much filing in side walls (incorrect shape)

(And of course the client may also be too heavy handed!)

Inside the Hard Gel Masterclass you will learn how to assess a nail before product even touches it

When to reinforce the growth points

How to fix stress breaks with poly gel & keep the length (yay! No more filing the nails down when you get a break !)

Learn when hard gel is the smarter choice for your clients
