Nail Career Boost Course - (Newly Updated for 2025)

Duration: 2 Full Days; total max 10 ppl group/ $1200 per person

If you’ve already completed our Essential Skills Course (or an equivalent beginner training), congratulations—you’re already halfway there! 💖

But stepping into the professional nail industry requires more than just knowing the basics. You might feel like your technique is solid, but building confidence, improving speed, and mastering real-world client work still feel just out of reach.

That’s where the Nail Career Boost comes in.

This course is designed to help you take that final step from “knowing how” to feeling confident in a professional setting. We’ll focus on the most in-demand technique in the industry—Structured Gel Manicure

This program is your bridge from student to nail tech—giving you the experience and confidence to thrive in a salon or even open your own studio one day.

What we will learn:

What we will learn:
Colour Builder Base for Gel Structure + Single Colour Application with bottle Gel

  • Master the art of gel application and structure on various nail sizes and lengths. Gain full knowledge of where the apex should be, how thick to build the gel, and the secrets behind achieving long-lasting results.

E-File Manicure + Safe Gel Removal & Refill Demo

  • The trainer will provide insights on protecting the natural nail and troubleshooting common issues to help you work more efficiently in a professional setting.

This is a demo-only session designed for those who already have experience with e-filing—it’s not a step-by-step class.

Customer Service + Consultation

  • Develop the communication skills necessary to build strong client relationships.

Hands-On Practice with 2 Real-Model Sessions (with trainer)

  • You’ll get two hands-on sessions—one focusing on gel structural manicure and one combining gel structural manicure with removal. During both sessions, your trainer will be by your side, providing guidance and support and ensuring you’re confident in every step of the process.

Bring Your Own Models

  • You’ll need to arrange your own models for the hands-on sessions and independent practice (terms & conditions apply).

    Need help finding models? Don’t worry—we’ll provide guidance and tips on how to find suitable models once you sign up for the course.

Hands-on assessment:

  • Your hands-on assessment will be scheduled at the end of Day 2. During the assessment, you’ll perform a clean e-file manicure, demonstrate excellent customer service, and complete a gel application. The goal is to give you a taste of the fast-paced salon environment and build your confidence in real-world nail work. If the assssment takes longer than 90 minutes or the results don’t meet industry standards, we’ll kindly ask you to retake the hands-on assessment before considering you for the internship opportunity.

Local Salon Internship Opportunity

  • We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with SOAK BAR, an exquisite salon that blends luxury beauty services with a fully-licensed bar, creating an experience that’s anything but ordinary.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! I recently completed the Bee Lady Nails Japanese Gel Nail - Essential Skills course. Tori was a fantastic teacher who was warm, approachable, patient and knowledgeable. She catered to all types of learners providing us with easy to follow visual diagrams, talking us through processes, live demonstrations and supervised practice. Lastly and most importantly, it was just so much fun and couldn't recommend it more! Also a bonus (or maybe dangerous?) to leave the class via the beautiful shop stocked with the best nail products every week!

Hi Japanese Gel Nail - Essentials Course with Tori Pan There's no one better to be your teacher and mentor in Gel Nails than Tori! I am so glad I signed up for the Japanese Gel Nails - Essential Skills Class. Tori was fantastic, very patient and really encouraging. It makes the whole learning 10x better! She helped my shakey hands be more stable ans boosted my confidence in handling gels after the whole course. So excited to continue this nail journey~ Thanks Tori and the Bee Lady team ♡

*** Japanese Gel Nails - Course*** I had the most fun studying Japanese gel nails with Tori. Tori is such a good teacher. She praised us for learning quickly, but it was truly her exceptional teaching that made everything so easy to understand. Tori believes in her students more than we believe in ourselves, and her encouragement is incredibly motivating. If you're considering trying Japanese nails, don't hesitate to sign up for Tori's course when it opens again. You won't regret it! And to Tori, thank you!

I used to be a client of Tori's and was always soooo impressed with the time and care she would take for my nails :') So I decided to sign up for her Japanese Gel Nail Essential class to learn her technique myself! It was such a fun and educational course - the time absolutely flew by and now I am confident to do my own nails (and hopefully those of others in the future!) The shop is also absolutely gorgeous and a great atmosphere so worth a visit if you're a gel nail fanatic XD

Hi Tori, hope you’re well! Just wanted to say thank you again for the amazing class last week, I thoroughly enjoyed and felt like I understood beyond theoretical concepts despite the density of the syllabus.

Really appreciated the way you went beyond a typical application and theory class, using innovative techniques to really drive the delivery and making sure that I was able to demonstrate what was taught. It was also great that you really tailor the session to build on a person’s existing skills as well as their learning styles, making your tips and techniques immediately applicable. I look forward to seeing more from you and your team, wishing you all the best :)

Both the content of the course and the delivery by Tori were excellent, and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in learning the foundations of e-file manicure and Japanese gel.I had no prior experience using an e-file before I begun this class, but Tori was patient with me and provided lots of tips and advice to improve my technique.

It is clear that she adapts her style and guidance based on the student’s needs, so that you get the best possible result. She also takes time to answer questions, even when they are about different topics to what she is teaching that day, and provides anecdotes and examples from her years of experience to help you understand difficult concepts.Thanks Tori for a great 5 weeks with you!

Learned from Tori a year ago when I transitioned from using nail polish to Japanese nail gels. I love how everything turned out, and I can feel my nails getting healthier and my nail beds becoming stronger. I can't wait to join further learning with Tori. She's absolutely amazing!

Teacher Tori is very dedicated and patient. After finishing the lessons, she is always willing to answer questions. She can help troubleshoot just by looking at a picture. If you want to pursue a career in nail art, you must come to Beeladynails to learn. ❤️❤️❤️
