Nail Career Boost Program
Duration: 12 hours total/ 2-4 ppl group $1980 per person
Intro
Want to become a nail tech but not sure how to get started?
If you’ve been into nails for a while and dream of making it your career, you’ve probably noticed that most salons want at least a year of experience. That’s where the Nail Career Boost Program comes in. This course is perfect for you if you already know the basics but need hands-on experience and the skills to get your foot in the door.
We focus on the most popular technique in the industry right now—Structure Gel Manicure—and help you speed up your process and fine-tune your work. Plus, you’ll get to work on real models, take a hands-on assessment to test your skills, and even have a chance for a Local Nail Salon Internship. It’s everything you need to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be—landing a salon job or opening 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.
Safe Gel Removal Soaking + Refill
- Learn efficient and safe techniques for gel removal and refills.
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
- (unlimited practice during the training period, terms & conditions apply): You can practice as much as you like on your own models before the hands-on assessment. While the trainer won't be by your side during these sessions, they will review your work and provide feedback once you’ve completed it. Please note that you’ll need to bring your own tools and gel products for these sessions. To book a practice day, simply schedule a time with us in advance.
Hands-on assessment:
- The hands-on assessment will be scheduled 2-4 weeks after your first day of class. 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.

Tori Pan, Australia's Official KOKOIST Educator
Hi lovely people, it's Tori! I've been in the Australian nail industry for over 8 years, exploring everything from express nails to premium nail services and immersing myself in different nail cultures in local salons.
Along the way, I discovered the incredible quality and unique texture of the Japanese gel system, which not only elevates my nail art but also promotes the natural health of my clients' nails. That's why I've dedicated myself to mastering this system.I'm super proud to be Australia's official KOKOIST educator and a Nail Thoughts educator, holding certifications from VETRO, KOKOIST, IBX treatment, JAPAN 衛生管理士 JNA and more.
Over the past five years, running my own nail business has been an absolute joy. Specializing in Japanese gel systems, colour mixing, and blending nail art, I've had the pleasure of helping many lovely clients achieve their long-gel-wearing nail dreams. In 2024, I made the decision to close my nail studio to focus solely on education. I can't wait to share my passion, knowledge, and expertise with all of you.Let's embark on your nail journey together!

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 :)Khai L
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!
