NAIL TRAINING

biab nail training

This one-to-one BIAB course is designed for technicians who already hold a basic nail qualification and wish to add BIAB services or significantly improve their existing technique.

The course is suitable for technicians trained in gel polish, hard gel, or acrylic who want to confidently work with builder gel in its correct context. Rather than treating BIAB as a trend or shortcut, the focus is on understanding structure, balance, longevity, and nail health.

Private delivery allows time to slow down, ask questions, and gain clarity, particularly for those who feel unsure or have previously trained but not felt fully confident.

Pricing: £395

With E File add on £495

(A £100 booking fee is required to secure your training date. The remaining balance can be paid on the day of your course or added at checkout if you prefer to pay in full.)
