Yes, we offer both group and private in-person Russian Pedicure training. If needed, we can also arrange a session-based class for your salon, team, or business.

A private one-on-one class offers the highest level of personalized training and mentor attention. It is a unique opportunity to progress faster through direct feedback, real-time correction, hands-on guidance, and focused support that is entirely centered on you. For students who want to strengthen technique, set their hands correctly, ask deeper questions, and learn with full mentor attention, private training can be incredibly valuable.

A 1:1 Personal Russian Manicure Class is a full-day 8+ hour immersive private training and the only personal format that fully guides you through the structure of Russian manicure, with possible practice on a model.

A Personal Focused Class is a shorter 4-hour private session focused on one selected topic or skill. Product kits and tools may differ, and students usually practice on themselves during short-term focused classes.

We recommend a minimum age of 16 for our Foundation / Beginner Training. This class is designed for students who want a clearer introduction to modern dry, e-file, and Russian manicure methods, including those who still have questions after cosmetology school.

For all other trainings, we recommend a minimum age of 17, as they are designed for a more advanced level of continuing beauty education.
