Our 2 Day Beginner's Acrylic Extension course is the perfect addition to your salon. Although some clients may enjoy the reward of growing their own nails naturally using builder gel, nothing quite compares to the instant satisfaction of walking away from your appointment with a gorgeous set of long acrylic nails! By the end of day two you will be able to complete a full set of Acrylic Extensions on a client, whilst learning shaping, structure and infills along the way. This course is fully accredited with ABT, allowing you to work on real-life models instantly upon completion.
Throughout the two days, you will learn:
- Health & Safety
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Contra-indications & Contra-Actions
- Equipment
- Terminology
- Prepping the Nails for Acrylic Extensions
- Applying and Shaping Plastic Tips
- Shaping and Structure of Acrylic Extensions
- Bead Forming and Ratios
- Building and Refining Acrylic Extensions
- Acrylic Infills
- Removals
- Ombre
- Encapsulation
- Aftercare & Advice
What to expect on the day:
Starting with theory, we’ll then progress on to natural nail prep, followed by tip application and shaping. You will initially work on training hands and practice tips, before working on a model on day two. On the first day, you will learn how to create beads and the correct ratio using acrylic liquid (monomer) and powder, along with shaping and structure of the acrylic extensions. On day two, you will recap all that we have learned on day two, alongside infills, removals and ombre, before we finish our day completing a full set of extensions on a real-life model. At the end of day two, we will cover aftercare advice, and you will be required to send over three case studies that you have completed at home/ back in your salon, in order to complete your training.
What you will need:
- Dusting brush
- Orange wood sticks
- Soak off bowls
