To work as a nail designer, you do not necessarily need a federal professional certificate, which you receive after passing a Federal Professional Examination. A comprehensive and professional nail design course may well be sufficient for a job in nail cosmetics.

The nail design profession is increasingly being recognized as an independent specialist field. Solid and practice-oriented training with a recognized qualification is just as necessary for a good start as continuing education, further training. Find out more about the nail design course and its benefits from the providers.

Not every training course in nail design is suitable for starting your own business straight afterwards. If you have this wish, you should make sure that you attend a comprehensive course that prepares you fully for this task, gives you routine and therefore also lasts for a longer period of time. One-day nail designer seminars are not recommended as preparation for self-employment.

• Aesthetic appearance
• Enjoy dealing with people

• Implementing personal responsibility for your own business
• Interest nail problems, trends, care...
• Stamina to practice the profession seriously
• You value a serious education. The nail design profession is a service in the healthcare sector.
• A nail designer must be able to set herself apart and take a step back.
