Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know before getting started.
Can I learn if I know nothing about nails?
Of course! Our Beginner Nail Course is for people who have never studied or done nails before.
We’ll guide you from the very first techniques, helping you get to know the craft and practise step by step.
Can I learn if I’m not naturally good with my hands?
You can still start. Techniques like cuticle care, gel application and nail art all take time to practise.
What matters is being willing to practise and take feedback. Your teacher will follow your progress and help you improve each technique.
What does the Beginner Nail Course include?
You’ll learn the techniques and procedures you need to start doing nails, including:
- Nail preparation, hygiene and tool disinfection.
- Safe cuticle care, using the right technique to minimise bleeding.
- Filing and shaping nails.
- Gel application and polish techniques.
- Nail tips, extensions and sculpted nails.
- French tips, ombre, cat-eye and chrome finishes.
- Hand-painted nail art and 3D designs.
- Customer service and salon procedures.
Will I practise on real models?
Yes! You’ll practise the techniques as you learn them. Near the end of the course, students practise on real models with their teacher’s guidance and supervision.
How long is the course?
The Beginner Nail Course is planned to take around 2.5 months, with 35 sessions in total.
We know everyone learns at a different pace. If you still haven’t mastered a technique by the end of the planned time, Nailtopia will keep giving you extra guidance so you can improve before completing the course.
Are there tuition discounts?
Nailtopia offers tuition promotions from time to time, as well as discounts for students who enrol as a group.
Send us a message and we’ll tell you the fee and the offers available at the moment.
Is there a lot of hands-on practice?
Yes. Nailtopia Academy focuses on practice, so students get used to the work and understand real nail procedures.
As you learn, your teacher will watch, give feedback and help you correct anything that isn’t quite right.
What if I learn more slowly than other students?
Please don’t worry. We don’t want students to finish a course just because the time is up, without feeling confident in their skills.
Your teacher will give you specific feedback and help you practise more in the areas where you need it.
Will I be able to do nails for clients on my own after the course?
The course aims to give you a technical foundation and an understanding of real nail procedures.
Whether you can work independently depends on your practical results, skills and confidence. Nailtopia will review your work so you know what you still need to improve.
What if I have trouble with a technique after the course?
You can still contact Nailtopia to ask about the techniques you learned.
We hope students keep improving their skills even after the course ends.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. Students receive a Nailtopia course completion certificate after passing the final assessment.
The certificate is based on assessment results and is not given automatically for attending all the sessions. It is a Nailtopia certificate, not a government-accredited qualification.
Can I work at Nailtopia after the course?
Nailtopia may consider suitable graduates for employment, but only when appropriate positions are available.
Hiring depends on your skills, availability, the position and the hiring conditions at that time.
Employment is not guaranteed.
Do I need to prepare anything before starting?
Send Nailtopia a message for advice about the course and what to prepare before you begin.
We’ll give you the specific details for the course you enrol in.
