Mentoring for Nail Techs

Mentoring with me is a calm, supportive space for new and growing nail techs who want help with the real-life side of nails — from theory and application to clients, policies, and business. Together, we’ll look at where you’re at, what’s feeling hard or confusing, and what you want your career to actually look like.

This is for you if you’re ready for honest feedback, practical guidance, and someone in your corner while you figure things out — not just more random tips on the internet.

What We Can Work On Together

Every tech is different, so no two mentoring plans look exactly the same. Here are some of the areas we can focus on:

  • Foundations & Theory

    • Nail anatomy and disorders

    • Sanitation and safe practices

    • Product understanding and choosing what to invest in

  • Application & Technique

    • Prep and structured gel application

    • Working with different nail types and lengths

    • Troubleshooting lifting, chipping, or shape issues

  • Client Experience

    • Consultations and setting expectations

    • Boundaries, policies, and tricky conversations

    • Building trust and long-term client relationships

  • Business & Confidence

    • Pricing and raising your rates

    • Setting up or refining your systems

    • Mindset, confidence, and feeling like a “real” nail tech

If you’re not sure exactly what you need yet, that’s okay — we can figure it out together.

You can book a single session for something specific, or choose a bundle if you know you’d like ongoing support.

  • Single Mentoring Session (60 minutes) – $120
    Perfect for focused help with one or two main areas — like prep and structure, pricing, policies, or a specific client situation you want to unpack.

  • Focused Foundations – 2-Session Bundle – $220
    Great if you want to tighten up a few key areas with time to practice in between. We’ll decide together what to focus on and build from there.

  • Glow-Up Mentoring – 3-Session Bundle – $320
    Ideal if you want support across both technique and business, with each call building on the last and room to check in on your progress.

  • Business & Technique Deep Dive – 5-Session Bundle – $520
    For techs who are ready to treat this like a true mentorship container and refine everything from application and client experience to policies, pricing, and business basics.

Mentoring can be done online (video call) or in person in Kelowna, depending on availability and what you’re looking for.

  1. You reach out
    You tell me a bit about your experience level, what you’re struggling with, and what you’d like support with.

  2. We choose the right option
    Based on what you share, I’ll recommend either a single session or a bundle, and whether online or in-person makes the most sense.

  3. We book your sessions
    We’ll find times that work for both of us and I’ll send you a quick outline of what we’ll focus on in each call.

  4. We meet and work through things together
    Sessions are a mix of teaching, discussion, and practical guidance — with space for your questions and real-life examples.

  5. You get follow-up notes or homework (as needed)
    Sometimes I’ll give you things to try, reflect on, or adjust between sessions so you can see real changes in your work and business.

I want mentoring to feel clear and low-pressure, not intimidating. Here’s what the process looks like:

Mentoring FAQ

  • No. Mentoring is for new and growing nail techs at all stages — from “I’m just starting and feel lost” to “I’ve been doing this a while but feel stuck.” You don’t have to be at a specific level before reaching out.

  • Absolutely. That’s actually when mentoring can help the most. You don’t need to have everything figured out or be “good enough” first — we can work through the uncertainty, questions, and messy middle together.

  • You don’t have to decide that on your own. In your inquiry, share what you’re struggling with and what you’d like support with, and I’ll recommend what I think makes the most sense — whether that’s one focused session or a few calls together.

  • Yes — if you’re local to Kelowna, in-person mentoring may be an option depending on availability and what you’d like to work on. In your inquiry, just let me know if you prefer online, in-person, or either.

  • Filling out the form doesn’t lock you into anything. It simply starts a conversation. I’ll share what I recommend, and you can decide from there if it feels like the right next step for you.
