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.


"Do I need to prepare anything before training?"

No special preparation is needed.

After you enroll, you’ll receive clear instructions on what to expect. Just show up ready to learn.


“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.

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