All of our staff are inexperienced.
Even if you only have a Level 3 license, you can still apply while raising children.
We have staff members who have made their professional debut.
The instructor is also a nail artist who learned nail skills almost entirely on his own and runs his own salon which is full of repeat customers.
This is a school that can only be found at a salon that trains and employs staff with no prior experience.
We provide face-to-face instruction in small groups. We train nail technicians who can hit the ground running. You can also start your own business or work for us.
School Features
A small class school run by a nail salon
A curriculum that focuses on practical skills, rather than on certification, which is unlikely to lead directly to a professional debut.
The practical curriculum focuses on salon work, so you can acquire the skills you need.
With the help of your instructor, you can practice in a high-quality manner, so you can acquire practical skills in a short period of time.
We also provide thorough guidance on counseling and customer service skills.
Because we are a salon that trains and employs staff with no prior experience, we have a lot of know-how to help you make your professional debut in the shortest time possible.
The goal is to reach a level where you can work confidently in a salon.

Those who have experience doing their own nails but are struggling to improve their skills
Those who have attended school and passed the exam but are not confident enough to make their professional debut.
People who just love nails and are aiming to open a salon or start working in a salon
Those who want to balance their private life (childcare, work, etc.) with acquiring skills

Why are your classes shorter than those at other schools?
Most nail schools tend to spend a lot of time on obtaining certification from various nail associations. Since our school is run by a nail salon, we focus on acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to make your professional debut, eliminating unnecessary time and allowing you to acquire the necessary skills in the shortest possible time. Our school also wants to make it easy to balance your private life with schooling.
Q&A
What are the benefits of small class sizes?
Compared to schools with large classes, you can receive detailed technical instruction because you are closer to the instructor. It is also easy to ask questions, making it an ideal place for those who have had difficulty improving their skills at large schools to re-learn.
Is there any support for finding employment or opening a salon?
The school's distinctive feature is that it provides instruction that is directly linked to salon work debut and opening a salon. The instructors have a long history of running individual salons, so they will not only give you advice on opening a salon, but also advice on finding employment in a salon. Those who reach a certain level in the certification test will be able to work in our salons.
