CREATE A SUCCESSFUL NAIL APPRENTICE PROGRAM (UTAH) Edition 2

An in-depth guide to create a profitable , professional, and successful nail apprentice program in Utah

REGISTRATION CLOSING AUG 31!

This course will no longer be available to purchase after August 31st.  Those who have purchased it by the deadline will still have lifetime access.
This course will be replaced with an individualized 12 week mentorship with me, available 3 times a year.

How to use this guide:

Edition 2 is set up like an e-book with fillable text worksheets.  You can complete the entire course by reading it from your phone, tablet, laptop or computer.  There is also audio/video for each step for more in-depth information if you need clarification on anything you read.

The digital worksheets are easiest to complete on a laptop/computer but you also have the option to print them out to fill in by hand if you prefer.

**This guide was set-up centered around the Utah State Board laws & requirements.  If you are in a different state and wish to purchase this guide you will need to do your part to adapt it to your states rules, regulations, requirements and apprenticeship hours.**

Edition 1 vs. Edition 2

Edition 2 has a LOT more information, resources, templates, and print ready materials.  I've also added answers to frequently asked questions and recommendations I received from edition 1.

WORKBOOK:  Edition 1 was split up into several workbooks for the relevant step, but they had to be printed to use.  Listening to the audio was also necessary to understand what to do.  With edition 2, I've made one workbook that can be completely digital, or printed if you prefer to work that way.  It's also accompanied by text explaining everything without having to listen to the audio if you don't want to.  Audio is still included for those who prefer to listen instead of read and for further explanation if needed.

RESOURCES & PRINT READY MATERIALS:  In edition 2 I've added curriculum notes you are able to use for yourself if you don't want to write your own.  There is a lot of other print-ready materials so you don't have to create your own.

TEMPLATES:  I provide 6 different themes to choose from that each have customizable templates.  Templates included apprentice notes, certificates, signs, menus, marketing, etc.  Keeping one theme throughout your program gives it another level of professionalism.

INFORMATION:  I go more in depth into every topic, added more info that wasn't included in the first edition, updated everything for the 2022 standards, and explain the steps in much clearer and detailed terms.

Template Theme Examples:

You are able to choose the theme that fits your style best to customize all your notes, marketing material, tests, certificates, and signs.
