Dove Nail House and Training Academy

Training
Hi, I’m Neringa Balande, a nail technician and educator. Since starting in the nail industry in 2015, I’ve rebuilt my business from scratch three times due to moving cities. Each time, I became fully booked very quickly, was charging top rates, and still had a waiting list of clients. I’m confident in what I teach because I’ve used these exact steps and techniques to grow my business successfully, and they worked every time. If you follow these steps, you’ll be able to build your own successful nail business too. Anyone can do it with the right training, support, and dedication.
"Start Smart" is a 3-day ABT accredited nail technician course (Russian Manicure) designed for beginners. You’ll learn the latest techniques in safe, hygienic, and modern cuticle manicures using e-files. The course covers BIAB (builder gel) application, gel/gel polish removal with an e-file, nail repair using polygel techniques, and gel colour application very close to the skin with no gaps.
You’ll also cover health and safety practices, sterilisation methods, client communication, and how to price your services. Additionally, we’ll explore how to attract new clients, free and paid advertising methods, becoming fully booked, providing VIP service, understanding nail diseases and how to treat them, nail anatomy, health and safety, and so much more.
This course includes the latest techniques and information, as I constantly update and refine my training to ensure you’re learning the most current and effective methods in the industry. The most sought-after techniques by clients are Russian Manicure techniques- once they try these, they never want to go back to old-fashioned methods of doing nails.
No experience needed! This course is perfect for beginners and covers everything you need to start your own successful nail business.
