We’ve helped hundreds of students begin or progress their nail careers, including complete beginners and technicians retraining after previous poor experiences.

Sarah has dedicated her career to helping students turn their passion for nails into real careers.

Her teaching focuses on perfection, attention to detail, and technique, not just product application. She believes confident nail technicians are created through proper understanding, practical experience, and supportive feedback.

When she’s not teaching, Sarah is:

✨ Working backstage at New York Fashion Week

✨ Creating nails for celebrities and editorial shoots

✨ Continuing to advance her own skills through ongoing education

This means you’re learning from someone actively working within the industry and bringing current techniques and real-world experience directly into the classroom.
