LEARN WITH CICI
Nail technician training in Chicago.
One-to-one nail training with CiCi in Chicago. Learn sanitation, nail safety, product application, shaping and design technique from a working nail artist.
THE INSTRUCTOR
Taught by someone still at the table.
CiCi has taught for three years, alongside eight years working as a nail technician. She still takes her own clients, so what she teaches is what she is using that week.
Her focus is structure — nail anatomy, shaping and product application. The parts that decide whether a set lasts, rather than only how it looks on the day.
She reads human anatomy and physics away from the table, and links that directly to how she builds a set.

What you will cover.
Practical knowledge meant to outlast the classroom.
Sanitation

Nail safety
Working with the natural nail so a client’s own nails stay healthy underneath.
Application
Product applied step by step, in the right order, for a set that holds.
Shaping
Length, shape and structure — and why they decide how long a set lasts.
Design technique
Building pattern and detail with control, at the pace the work needs.
The business side
The part of the job that is not done at the table.
