Testimonial
I went into this course not knowing anything about the application process of gel polish but I wanted to learn as I enjoy painting and anything artistic. I didn’t realise the importance of the preparation and maintenance of my clients nails until Ai thoroughly explained each step and the significance of them. Having a patient and kind teacher made me feel comfortable in making mistakes and asking many many questions which helped me get the most out of this course. Even though the course has finished, I’m still able to text Ai whenever I have a question about what product to buy or how to perfect a technique and she replies in great detail! I came out of the course confident in applying gel polish to clients as I got to test my knowledge and skills on a real client on the last day of the course. I was nervous but Ai gave me useful tips along the way and made me feel very comfortable. Although my intentions are not to work for a nail salon, Ai still taught me the professional way of doing each step. I’m very happy with what I’ve learnt and achieved during this 3 day course and I’m keen to come back to learn even more! Now, I have started a small gel polish business which is helping raise pocket money for when I start university this year (plus I know I’m not damaging any of my clients nails thanks to Ai). Thank you!! – Sue
Ai was extremely generous with sharing her expertise and experience. As someone who had zero experience in gel or any nail polish, I wasn’t really expecting to learn a lot, but Ai taught some of the practical tips and techniques that can be used right away. She is also very open with what I can expect to achieve in 3 lessons, which was far more than I expected. After the lessons, I am very much looking forward to continuing with this new, fun journey!
I recommend Ai, she is a very good teacher and we had a nice day.
I attended Ai’s Nail training for Gel Nail Polish at Atelier Hana Amsterdam.
It was a nice afternoon and I learned different techniques I.e: marble, glitter, French nails.
She explained all very clearly and detailed.
Lovely experience and highly recommended!
I had a great gel nail lesson. It was my first time to get a proper lesson although I’ve been doing self-nail sometimes myself. Ai explained step by step and she was always attentive to my questions! I liked how you can customize your lesson based on whatever you want to learn! Would highly recommend 🙂
Ai is an excellent teacher. She is patient and thoughtful, but still makes sure that you give the best service and produce the best work. She’s generous with the information and knowledge she shares, flexible enough to meet my needs, and provides a safe also supportive space for you to learn.
I definitely recommend her course to anyone who wants to be a nail stylist/learn to do your own nails.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to do gel nails myself, and I finally found an atelier offering lessons with a professional instructor. I started as a complete beginner, and after just three courses (9 hours total), I learned how to do proper nail care, apply gel polish, create simple nail art, and even remove it safely.
In the final session, I got to bring a friend and give her a full gel nail service—she was very happy with the results! Hana customized the lessons to fit my pace and goals. There was actually quite a lot to learn and remember, but if you just follow her guidance, you’ll reach a level where you can confidently do a full basic gel nail.
I’m planning to take the next-level lessons too, so I can expand my nail art options and techniques. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in doing gel nails—whether just for fun or with a goal of going professional. It’s a meaningful and comfortable way to start!
I’m so glad I chose the Business Nail Start-Up course with Ai instead of a 1–2 day nails course from other places. Here, I’ve learned everything I need to become a nail technician and also how to start my own home based nail business. Ai is incredibly detailed, highly professional, and always helpful even beyond the training sessions.
Now my dream has come true… I’ve opened my own studio in Museumplein! 🎉
