Whether it is applying acrylic tips or mastering gel application, you get plenty of time practicing on live models and mannequin hands under my supervision. We ensure you feel the texture, learn the correct liquid-to-powder ratios, and handle the E-file drill confidently before you step out to service your first client. Learning extensions is a skill of patience and precision. At our Mumbai academies, we break down the process so it is not overwhelming. **What you will master:** - **Acrylic Extensions:** You will learn tip placement, sculpting, and the perfect bead consistency. We focus heavily on filing and shaping, from square to stiletto. - **Gel Extensions:** Get comfortable with builder gels and hard gel systems. You will learn to create natural-looking arches and durable enhancements. - **E-File Technique:** Safety is priority. You will learn how to use electric drills for cuticle prep and backfills without damaging the natural nail plate. - **Business Readiness:** Being a technician is also about client management. We cover salon hygiene, pricing strategies, and how to build your own portfolio. **Why our approach works:** We keep batch sizes small so every student gets personal attention. If you struggle with a specific shape or technique, we repeat the session until you get it right. By the end of your course, you receive a government-certified diploma that proves your skill to potential employers or clients. We have locations in Borivali, Goregaon, and Khar, and we are ready to help you turn this passion into a full-time profession. ## About The Nail Institute I am Ritika, and at The Nail Institute, I believe nail art is a career, not just a hobby.
