SEPTEMBER AT THE ACADEMY: RETENTION RESCUE π
Why do nails lift?
It's one of the most common questions we hear from nail technicians β and the answer isn't always simply βyour prep.β
That's why we're kicking off our very first month inside The Nail Academy Club with:
RETENTION RESCUE β Why Nails Lift & How to Make Them Last
Throughout September, we'll be taking members through the different factors that can affect retention and showing you how to troubleshoot the cause rather than guess at the solution.
We'll be looking at:
π Nail preparation
π
Product choice & compatibility
ποΈ Application technique
π‘ Correct curing
πββοΈ Client & lifestyle factors
π What the location of the lifting can tell you
π§ͺ How retention differs across nail systems
Plus, inside the Academy we'll have Retention Detective cases, practical troubleshooting resources, member discussions and opportunities to bring your own retention questions to our Academy Educators.
Because when you understand why lifting is happening, you can make informed changes instead of changing everything at once and hoping something works.
π This is what The Nail Academy Club is all about.
Practical education. Real troubleshooting. Ongoing support.
Founding Membership is now open for $10 NZD/month.
Join us and be part of our very first Academy month. π
