Questions and answers
Nail designs: What does a nail designer do?
A nail designer carries out the following activities in a nail studio, hairdressing salon or in her own business:
- Nail designs e.g. gel nail design or acrylic nail designs
- Performing professional beauty treatments on nails and hands
- Perform even demanding treatments thanks to specialist knowledge
- Checking the health of hands and fingernails
- Depending on the position: planning, purchasing goods, dealing with marketing, managing employees and training interns
Why do schools interested in education enquire about the "Nail Designer (Cert.)" course?
A survey of prospective students revealed that 76% of respondents sent school inquiries to nail design schools after reading an online review. In contrast, 18% did so after a recommendation. 6% knew the school/s that were contacted for detailed information about this training. The online presence of schools is also becoming increasingly important, as shown by optional answers from survey participants: "Internet", "Google" and "because of the online course". This is why many schools are improving their online visibility by being listed on the education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Someone else was looking for "more choice". Or for the right location "geographically", "close to my home", "near me" and "location". Another reason could also be: "was the only option".
What nail design accessories and nail salon accessories are needed after the nail design course to be able to offer the activity independently?
After the nail design course, most people want to start their own business and open their own nail salon. In addition to good training, this requires the right nail design accessories and nail salon equipment:
- Files
- Brush
- Milling cutter
- Gloves and masks
- Manicure care products (cuticle remover, file, polisher, scrub)
- Plastic for nail modeling (primer, bonding agent, bonding gel, build-up gel, French gel, sealing gel, color gel, color display, glitter gel, stickers)
- Modeling templates
- Nail tip and glue
- Disinfectant, nail cleaner, dust brush
- Nail oil, hand cream
- Nail dryer
Pay attention to the quality and good handling of your work materials. Cheap products only seem to save money, as customers quickly notice the poor quality of the material and word gets around.
Do I have to sit and study regularly in a school for a nail designer course?
A nail designer course cannot be compared with an apprenticeship or a mainly theoretical further training course. To be able to work as a nail designer, you mainly need to learn and practise the techniques, although theory is of course also taught. However, in a nail design school, you spend less time with frontal teaching, where you sit still and listen, and more time with practical exercises.
