"If you appreciate beautiful nails, you have probably seen the soft gel nail extensions all over social media lately. Although gel nails have been around for a while, these services have been growing in popularity recently due to a shift towards a healthier approach to artificial nails. We are excited to announce the addition of Après Gel-X extension system to our Manicuring Program curriculum. Each Manicuring student will receive an Après Gel-X kit with their books and supplies. Students will receive training in the Gel-X system and upon graduation, will also earn their Gel-X certification. Après Gel-X Nails is a revolutionary system that provides an innovative way of achieving beautiful long-lasting nails. This system provides a more natural alternative to the traditional acrylic or hard gel nail extensions as it has minimal dust, no odor, and little to no damage to the natural nails. Call or text us to book an appointment to tour our school and check out the Gel-X Kit and the Manicuring Program.
