UV Hard Gel Nails Extensions Course
The UV Hard Gel Extensions Course in Leeds at Beauty-licious Academy is a beginner-friendly, ABT accredited training course designed to teach you how to create strong, durable, and professional nail extensions.
This treatment is highly in demand, as many clients struggle to grow their natural nails and look for a long-lasting solution to achieve beautiful, extended nails. UV hard gel provides an effective way to create length while maintaining a more flexible and natural-looking finish compared to traditional acrylic systems.
UV hard gel is a thick, durable product containing polymers that is cured under a UV or LED lamp. It is known for its strength, flexibility, and glossy finish, making it a popular choice for both nail extensions and strengthening natural nails.
During this course, you will learn how to build nail extensions using UV hard gel, allowing you to create customised shapes and lengths tailored to your client’s preferences. This treatment is ideal for occasions such as proms, events, and special occasions, as well as everyday wear.
Clients typically return every 2–3 weeks for infills, making this a great treatment for building a loyal client base and generating consistent income.
UV hard gel can be used for:
Creating nail extensions
Strengthening natural nails
Enhancing the overall appearance of the nails
