MEET THALIA

Your Mentor & Biggest Supporter

Hi, I'm Thalia!

With nine years in the beauty industry and over

3,000 happy clients served each year, I’ve seen

how many new techs struggle with real salon

readiness.

That’s why I started training

students in my busy West Island, Montreal

salon.

Their success led me to launch NIIM

Beauty Academy.

As an immigrant, I understand how tough it

can be to start fresh, so our small-group,

hands-on coaching ensures every student gets

personalized attention and ongoing support.

At NIIM, it’s not just about technique—it’s about

communication, time management, and

confidence, so you can build a career you’re

truly proud of.

WHAT NIIM STUDENTS SAY

Real stories from students who trained inside NIIM and grew their skills step by step.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

“I’m a total beginner. Is this really for me?”

Yes, my courses are exactly for beginners.

90% of my most successful students started with zero experience,

and they were able to start working as fast as 3 weeks after training.

“I’m scared I might hurt someone… what if I make mistakes?”

It’s okay to make mistakes, that’s part of learning.

You will practice on models with full supervision.

I guide your angle, pressure, speed, and safety every session.

Slowly, you will feel more confident and in control.

“What if I’m not talented or artistic enough?”

You don’t need natural talent.

Skill grows through structure, repetition, and correction.

If you can follow steps, you can learn nails.

“My English or French is not good… will I struggle?”

No, you won’t.

Many students speak simple English or French.

I teach visually and step-by-step, so you learn by doing.

You don’t need strong language to understand the training.

“What if I need more time to practice after training?”

You will still get support.

You can send photos or videos in the student chat anytime,

and I will guide you even after your training ends.

“Will salons recognize the certification?”

Yes.

Your NIIM Certificate is accepted by salons

and used by students for hiring, internships, and home-business marketing.

“Will you help me get clients or a job after?”

You will receive:

• Internship opportunities

• Hiring support (for students who meet NIIM Standard)

• Portfolio guidance

• Pricing and service tips

• Real experience with clients

Top students are often hired or recommended to partner salons.

“Do you offer payment plans?”

Yes.

You can reserve your seat with a non-refundable deposit of CA$300.

The remaining balance is paid before your confirmed training start date.

“How long do I wait before training starts?”

Training begins with the next available session, scheduled shortly after enrollment.
