The Discovery
August 2023
Aaliyah found the Beginner Nail Tech Course through TikTok. She’d just left uni after one week and felt lost. After watching reviews, she enrolled the same day — determined to take control of her future.
Learning & Practicing
September 2023
She practiced every evening on friends and family. She set up a nail Instagram and posted each set. Her confidence grew with every post, and she began receiving DMs for bookings.
First Clients
October 2023
Over one weekend, Aaliyah did 10 paying clients and made €260. She started using booking forms and prepped nail art inspo like a pro. Her friends were amazed — and word-of-mouth took off.
Fully Booked
November 2023
She earned €1,150 that month and upgraded to the Combo Course. Her nail sets got more detailed, her time management improved, and she started building a visual brand — logo, content, and all.
Booked & Branded
Now
Aaliyah is 18, booked out most weekends, and has her own booking system. She’s designing custom packaging for her press-on nails and saving for a salon chair — all from her bedroom.
“This course gave me confidence I didn’t know I had. I’ve learned to believe in myself and I’m already making money while still in school.”
