Program Overview

Learn professional nail art in Seoul, South Korea, through this four-week training course designed for beginners and aspiring nail artists. Whether you are exploring a new interest or hoping to develop skills for a future career, this course gives you the chance to learn Korean nail techniques through guided lessons and hands-on practice.

Classes are limited to four students, allowing you to receive personal guidance, ask questions, and practice at your own pace. You will learn a variety of techniques, including basic nail care, gel application, nail extensions, ombré designs, marble art, magnetic gel, and seasonal nail art. Most nail art terms are used in English, making it easier to follow the lessons even if you do not speak Korean fluently.

One of the highlights is the five practical sessions with real models. These sessions give you the opportunity to work on different nail procedures, apply the techniques you have learned, and receive feedback from your instructor. Practicing on real models also helps you become more familiar with the process of providing nail services in a salon-like setting.

Throughout the course, you can build your skills step by step and discover which techniques interest you most. Whether you want to explore nail art as a personal interest or take your first steps toward professional training, you will gain practical experience to build on after the program. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate from the academy.

Guesthouse-style accommodation in Seoul is included in the program, allowing you to stay in the city while focusing on your training. We recommend applying at least two months in advance so there is enough time to arrange your course and accommodation.
