If you skip the cuticle cleaning or the dehydration step, no amount of expensive gel will prevent lifting. In our sessions, I focus heavily on these foundational habits because that is where I see most beginners struggle, and getting this right from day one makes all the difference. ### Building a Solid Foundation When you master nail extensions, you're not just learning to apply a tip; you're learning about structural integrity. My training at the academy goes deep into the differences between Acrylic, Hard Gel, and Polygel, helping you understand which material suits different nail types best. ### What You Will Master * **Nail Prep & Safety:** Proper cuticle work and nail plate preparation to ensure the health of the natural nail is never compromised. * **Extension Application:** Achieving the perfect C-curve and apex for strength, whether you are using tips or sculpting forms. * **Material Control:** Learning the correct bead ratio for acrylics and the leveling properties of hard gel so you spend less time filing and more time creating. * **Machine Work:** Using an electric file safely to remove bulk without damaging the client's nail bed. ### The Just Nails Approach I believe in hands-on learning. Whether you are in our Kharghar studio for a foundation course or an advanced diploma, you aren't watching lectures—you are working on practice models and real clients under my supervision. This ensures that by the time you leave, you aren't just certified; you are confident in your skills. We also cover business basics like photography and pricing, giving you a realistic roadmap to starting your own career in the nail industry. ## About Just Nails Hi, I'm Mini.
