Most common questions before starting a PLEXIGEL™ education
Our classes are available throughout Denmark. All the details about transport options, parking, and local amenities (including lunch spots) can be found when you book your class on our education platform.
Outside of Denmark, the academy's salon or address of rented location is listed in the class description with as much information as possible, but you can always contact the academy if you are missing more details.
Not at all. Whether you’re a beginner or already working in the industry, our education is designed to meet you at your level.
If you are new to the industry, our PLEXIGEL™ education is a comprehensive education that certifies you as a nail tech, allowing you access to professional gel brands, and employment in the industry, whether you decide to start at a salon or establish your own business.
If you already have experience in gel, then we have attractive offers in starter kits with all you need to use the PLEXIGEL™ brush in a bottle system. Find them here.
Then we highly recommend for you to attend the product certification, so you are faster at getting all the benefits of the innovative system.
Our training is flexible to fit your schedule. Online modules are available on-demand, and physical education days are regularly hosted at our training locations. Most learners complete the program in just a few weeks. Then the length of your education would only depend whether you have gel experience or not.
If you are already educated in gel or have a salon business, you can start your onboarding with SHELLAC™ right away. Read about it in more detail here.
If you are undertaking a nail tech education with PLEXIGEL™, you can begin your SHELLAC™ certification while you are under education, as long as you have taken the hands-on training as a stage.
