Love & Sparkles with Katy P nail artist

The power of online education

In the fast-paced nail industry, it’s important to stay ahead of trends and refine techniques to ensure success. Online education has made learning more accessible, so whether you work in a salon or home-based space, you can elevate your skills without leaving your chair. But who are online learning experiences suited to, and why should you consider them?

ABOUT KATY

Katy Pottle, or ‘Katy P’, has over two decades of experience in the nail industry. From working on a mobile basis to owning a salon, her journey is a testament to her dedication and passion for the world of nails. She loves glitter and is on a mission to help nail techs worldwide shine, one intricate design at a time, with her online workshops and one-to-one masterclasses. In July 2023, following an intense competition process, Katy beat nail artists across the globe to be crowned the first World’s Star Nail Artist. She seeks to inspire and mentor fellow pros, and sprinkle her signature ‘love and sparkles’ across the industry.

Advantages

The flexibility of online education is a game-changer, especially for nail techs who juggle a number of responsibilities. There is no need to factor in travel times or squeeze learning into a rigid schedule, as you can tune into a workshop or masterclass whenever suits. This could be during a quiet salon moment, lunch break or in the evening with a cuppa.

Who benefits from online education?

Online workshops are great for nail techs who love learning, but appreciate the freedom to hit ‘pause’ and ‘rewind’ on their training when necessary. Pre-recorded sessions can focus on specific nail art techniques, feature step-by-step demonstrations and pro tips. Ideal for visual learners, they allow you to grasp techniques at your own pace.

Another bonus is that online workshops are affordable. Nail techs at any skill level can find value – from those at the beginning of their nail art journeys to pros seeking to fine-tune advanced techniques. Online workshops allow you to design your learning journey, to suit the nail looks you want to create.

The perks of a 1:1 masterclass

If you’re craving personalised feedback and tailored guidance, online 1:1 masterclasses are an ideal solution. These sessions are customised to your individual needs, such as perfecting a specific skill, or building confidence in your techniques.

For those who thrive on interaction, an online 1:1 class provides real-time feedback and focused attention from an educator. Plus, you can ask questions without the pressure of a large group setting. If you’re passionate about pushing your skills to the next level, this can be where it happens.

Are you looking for education & a community?

For nail techs who crave continuous education and a like-minded community, I’ve created the Sparkle Squad: a membership programme for learning, inspiration, growth and support. It includes three tiers, designed to aid nail artists at every stage of their careers.

The Shimmer tier is tailored to beginners, providing tutorials and a supportive community to kickstart skills. For those seeking to elevate their nail artistry, the Shine tier offers advanced tutorials, live workshops and access to all pre-recorded workshops. The Sparkle tier is the most advanced package, featuring benefits such as personalised mentorship, 1:1 masterclasses and WhatsApp support.

If you want to keep up with nail trends, develop new skills and connect with fellow professionals, the Sparkle Squad is your all-access pass to shimmer, shine, sparkle and succeed.

Keeping it real

While online education is great for enhancing existing skills, aspiring nail technicians should consider in-person classes for hands-on experience. When choosing an online course, ensure it’s accredited to meet industry standards and provides the proper foundation for your career.
