If you have you ever wanted to take your nail skills to the next level with a certification class, I have news for you :)

I’m hosting an online Nail Thoughts and Kokoist Certification Class starting on 9/22!!!

A certification class is an amazing continued education opportunity for anyone looking to solidify their skills and improve or enhance them too. The specific classes I’m teaching this month are with two of my favorite Japanese gel brands ever: Kokoist & Nail Thoughts!

Both of these classes will take you through the respective product line so you can become a master at understanding how they work together, how they work on different nail types, and how to masterfully use each product.

After you complete the class lessons and deliver your portfolio (more on that later), you will be officially certified in Kokoist and/or Nail Thoughts. This is amazing for furthering your nail career and nail skills, and also feeling confident in executing highly sought after, luxury nail services.

The final day to sign up for a class is Friday 9/12!

Let’s do some FAQS!

Does this class include products?

No, but you will get an exclusive discount code to purchase all materials required for the class (plus you can use it to pick up anything else you want!). If you already have some of the products, you can use those and then purchase whatever else you need for the class! See the KOKOIST CLASS PRODUCTS and NAIL THOUGHTS PRODUCTS required here!

How is this different from your other courses?

My other courses on my site focus on more general technique/refinement, vs totally mastering a product line like these classes. These classes will leave you as an expert on Kokoist and/or Nail Thoughts. You will have a complete understanding of each product in the lines, how to use it, who it will work for, how to troubleshoot it, how to remove it, you name it, you will know how to answer it!

You also will receive a certification (hence the class name)! Which is a big deal!!! You’ll be able to provide an upgraded premium service to your clients and can be counted on as an expert in using Kokoist and Nail Thoughts products!

Also, these are much longer, more involved classes with assignments required to receive your certification.

Can anyone take this class?

Technically, yes! The benefit of taking these classes, in additional to the above reasons, is that they are an excellent source of continued education to build upon what you learned in nail school or have practiced in the field. If you are not licensed or not yet licensed, this class can help you gain additional skills that you can use in your personal life or in school/beyond.

Honestly, if I had these classes before I went to nail school, I think it would have made me even more excited to sign up for school & graduate so I could start performing services like these. The class content is exactly what I was drawn to and would have loved to have when I was starting out so I felt more confident that I could do services like this upon finishing school!

How are they different from each other?

The Kokoist Class is two in one! It goes over pretty much the entire system of Kokoist, so that you feel prepared to choose which ones are best for each client to perform the service that works best for their nails and goals. It goes over all of the different types of bases, structured overlays with different products, various types of nail extension techniques, removal techniques, and nail art.

The Nail Thoughts line of products is a bit smaller than Kokoist, and so there aren’t quite as many lessons but you will still leave feeling like an expert in all of the products. This class focuses more on nail prep, perfecting structured overlays, troubleshooting and combating lifting gel, and nail art!

How does the whole online class thing work?

Here’s the gist:

• Purchase your spot in class during 9/2-9/12

• Purchase your products with you exclusive discount code ASAP

• Participate in class during 9/22-10/6 for Nail Thoughts & 9/22-10/13 for Kokoist

• Deliver your portfolio of assignments by the due date

• Receive your official certificate!

• Classes are pre-recorded, you can watch & complete assignments on your own time!

• I have created a lesson plan that I’ll send to you that will literally guide you through the class. You’ll have textbook reading, a presentation, video demonstration and assignment for each lesson!

Can we take both classes at once?

Yes!! If you want to take both, you will get 3 weeks to finish so you have enough time to complete all of the assignments! Use code NTKOKO50 for $50 off if you want to sign up for both classes too :)

This time isn’t good for me, will you be offering these classes again?

I hope so!!! I’m thinking I’ll try to offer these certifications at least twice per year, so the next one would be early next year. If you’re ever interested in an in-person training, or 1-on-1, let me know too and we can discuss!

If you have any other questions for me, please send me an email at hello@karanailedit.com and I will help you out!
