the basics

Welcome to our accredited manicure and pedicure course, an intensive day of leasrning where we lay the foundations for aspiring nail technicians.

A traditional manicure is the cornerstone of nail care, focusing on enhancing the health and appearance of natural nails without the use of gel polish or artificial enhancements. This fundamental technique involves nail shaping, cuticle care, gentle exfoliation, moisturising treatments, and applying nail varnish.

A spa pedicure is not just a beauty treatment; it's a holistic experience that focuses on pampering and enhancing the health of the feet. Unlike manicures, feet often encounter more issues due to constant weight-bearing, pressure, and exposure to various environments. Therefore, providing a professional spa pedicure involves more than just aesthetic improvement; it addresses concerns such as calluses and dry, cracked skin.

By mastering this course, technicians develop the essential skills necessary for a strong foothold in the nail care industry.

course structure

The course takes place over 1 day, usually finishing around 4pm.

At 9am learners meet at the salon and our first task is theory work - manuals will be sent to students prior to the course and they are expected to have read this.

The theory is a mixed bag of short presentations, quizzes, and open discussion about nail anatomy, client care and health and hygiene.

Mid morning we move onto a practical demonstration and students will be shown from start to finish a manicure service.

By the afternoon students will start with their practical activity and with guidance and support will perform a manicure on a model. Students should provide the model themselves however if this is not possible a model may be acquired for you. After a short review and discussion students will move onto the pedicure service with supervision, and after another evaluation students will be presented with their certificates!
