This comprehensive training program is designed to give you all the knowledge, techniques, and practical skills every professional nail technician must master. For over five years, beginner nail technicians in our Russian school have been training with this curriculum. It includes all the essential knowledge and skills a modern technician needs to become successful. The program is constantly being improved, making it the most advanced in Russia.
You will learn what financial literacy is and why it’s crucial for a nail artist. Understand the difference between income and profit, and why a fully booked schedule doesn’t always mean stability. We’ll cover how to set prices confidently, manage a budget with variable income, separate personal and business finances, and set financial goals — then actually achieve them. At the end of this module, you’ll receive a summary and a personal financial literacy checklist.
Discover the history of manicure — from the time of the Pharaohs to modern nail art. Learn how Russian manicure has adapted to the international stage and become the gold standard in the nail industry.
Study the structure and functions of the hands, the anatomy of the skin, and the structure of the nails. Learn the key criteria used to assess the health of hands and nails.
We’ll examine common skin diseases of the hands, nail pathologies, and onychodystrophies — abnormalities in the shape, structure, and growth of the nail plate.
Learn first aid rules, manicure and nail extension indications and contraindications, and the principles of high-quality salon service to retain clients and build trust. We’ll study international hygiene requirements for nail technicians, safety, responsibility, and professionalism. We’ll also cover the nail artist’s appearance as a reflection of style, status, and safety, workspace setup requirements, disinfection, pre-sterilization cleaning, sterilization, and waste disposal procedures in a nail studio.
We’ll discuss the foundations of ethical culture, professional ethics, and business etiquette. You’ll learn about professional appearance standards, telephone etiquette, and the art of client communication that leads to success. We’ll also explore the role of a nail artist’s business card, workspace interior design, and social media communication etiquette.
Explore psychological competence as the foundation of a successful career and personal growth. Learn sources of psychological knowledge and the basics of personality trait assessment. We’ll cover multi-level communication, the role of first impressions, soft selling techniques, and working with different client personality types. You’ll also learn objection handling, stress types and self-regulation methods, and the nature, types, and dynamics of conflicts. We’ll discuss conflict-prone personalities, behavioral models in conflict, friendship between technician and client, and how to politely refuse service.
We’ll study main nail design styles, materials, tools, and brushes. You’ll learn principles of composition, design layout, and color theory to create stylish and harmonious nail art.
Learn the essentials of photography, how to create high-quality images of your work, and the basics of photo editing to present your portfolio professionally.
We’ll cover equipment specifications, materials used in nail services, and tool characteristics. You’ll get a complete list of required tools, study the chemistry of materials, and learn norms of material consumption for efficient and cost-effective work.
In the practical part, we’ll focus on combined, e-file, and file-based manicure techniques, as well as gel nail strengthening. This is hands-on, individual work that requires following my instructions precisely and sending your work for evaluation. We’ll work together until you achieve results, adapting to your personal skills and pace.
Learn why every nail artist should promote themselves online, how to create a personal brand, and attract your ideal clients. We’ll define your target audience, choose the right social platforms, and set up a profile that draws clients in. You’ll discover how to create engaging, trust-building content, make a stress-free content plan with ChatGPT in 15 minutes, and write posts and scripts with AI assistance. We’ll also cover strategies for gaining followers without paid ads, provide a readiness checklist for your profile, and share prompt templates with sample responses.
📚 The course is delivered entirely online. You will study and take notes on the theoretical part independently. In the practical section, you’ll complete assignments based on Elena Milovanova’s step-by-step video lessons (translated into English), working either on yourself or on a model.
📸 During the process, you will take photos at specific stages of each procedure and send them to Elena for evaluation. Training starts with one nail, and if everything is correct, you move on to completing one full hand, then the other — sending results each time and discussing them with the instructor via chat.
🎤 Voice communication will be available soon — we’re working on it. If something is done incorrectly, Elena will explain where the mistake occurred, and you’ll need to redo the task and submit it again.
✅ In other words, you move forward only when both you and the instructor can clearly see the result. This format allows the training to adapt to each student’s individual abilities and ensures we work with you until you achieve real, lasting results.
