01Overview

The programme

Nail services in India have moved from a wedding-only luxury to a monthly ritual for a generation of women. The growth in urban salons reflects that — and trained nail technicians remain scarce.

This programme is short by design, because the skill set is bounded and the market is hungry. Students leave with a tested set of services, a hygiene routine they can defend to any client, and the confidence to charge correctly for their time.

Practical work runs throughout the course. Every student finishes a portfolio of twenty completed sets photographed under studio light.
