*I know very well, the pain and time it takes to stuff your studio in a luggage. I also know the pain of buying a product kit of items you already have or won’t use much.
This is why I am happy to let you know that I will provide all materials for you to train with, including a variety of gels from my favorite brands (Kokoist, Vetro, Leafgel).
After the day of class, now that you’ve gotten to experience different products, you get to build your own product kit, with items that you know how to use and will use 🙂 Up to $200 worth of products; amount can be less but not exceed. (Please see FAQ below, to see what else you can/should bring.)Â
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-What materials should I bring?
Literally just your brushes. I will provide all of the materials and equipment to help you with application.
Bring your nails AS IS. You do not have to take your gel nails off for this event, but also do not do them for this event! Grown-out nails, or no product on them is what we need.
This is not a brand specific training. I will have multiple options from the Japanese gel brands I use for you to use during class time.
It is also ok if you have moved away from any of the brands that I like and recommend and if you want to bring the particular gels you’re currently using for application.
Please remember that my focus is around premium soft gels only, and therefore I cannot help you with any other nail system. (i.e. hard gel, acrylic, etc…). I can help you with potted and bottled soft gel systems.
-When should I arrive and leave?
Class time starts at 9am ET, and ends at 5pm ET. (Subject to change).
We recommend you arrive a the day before, and leave the day after.
However, we understand that there are different variables at play, so please do what you have to do to make things feasible for you attending and getting the max out of this event.
-What airport do I fly in to?
Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is the closest airport to the event. Approximately 20 mins away.

-What meals are included with my registration?
Beverages, snacks, lunch, and dinner. (Note: Dinner is only included if you can stay. There is no credit or adjustment if you have to leave before dinner time.)
-What to wear?
Be you! What ever makes you feel comfortable.
Heels aren’t my thing, and I last taught in Vans… but I may do platforms this time. Who knows!
Feel free to bring your fancy clothes for an evening dinner.
-Should I rent a car?
If you love independence and are not driving-in in your own vehicle, or you’re staying beyond Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe?
Otherwise, during event hours including dinner outings, transportation is covered by me.
You can use a ride-sharing service like Lyft to get to and from the airport and hotel.
