Student Success Stories
Jennifer came from Ohio to improve speed, cuticle detail, and e-file control
Jennifer flew to New York for a one-day private Advanced Russian Pedicure class in NYC . She already had experience and a clear goal. She wanted to work faster, especially on cuticles, improve her e-file technique and get better results on deep cracks. The main focus was speed without losing detail.

Cuticle detail, e-file control, disk work on heels, workflow order, pressure, hand position, and cleaner movement.
What changed after training
Sharper cuticle detail, better results on cracked skin, stronger confidence, and a workflow that can help her save time.
“I've had a very noticeable improvement in the detail of my cuticle work. My clients look great. I've worked on some cracked skin too and that came out really well.”
Elena joined the course to learn gel nail extensions and start offering them to clients with confidence
Elena took the two-day Nail Extensions courses with a clear goal - to learn how to create gel nail extensions correctly and confidently.
