What’s This Workshop About?
This hands-on workshop is an introduction to airbrush nail art, designed to build confidence through strong foundational skills. Students will learn how to set up, use, and maintain an airbrush machine, while practicing essential techniques on nail tips in a guided, supportive environment.
The class covers machine fundamentals, paint knowledge, airflow and control, and proper cleaning practices both during and between clients. Students will also be introduced to stencil work, including single-layer and layered applications, and how to correctly seal and finish designs to a professional, salon-ready standard.
Techniques explored include soft ombré gradients, layered blends, fabric-inspired textures and foundational stencil designs such as butterflies, stars, circles, and versatile pattern work.
By the end of the workshop, students will feel confident incorporating airbrush into their everyday salon services, with a strong understanding of how to continue refining and expanding their skills.
