Allow the classroom to come to you. An experienced educator, Julie has taught hundreds of colleagues and cosmetology students at top salons for over a decade. She thinks of it as a way to pass on her 20 years of experiences with A-list celebrities, supermodels and the most particular clients to other nail and salon professionals. A stellar spa experience creates loyal guests, higher retention rates, and elevated income for the hotel and beauty spaces as a whole, and not to mention: happy and loyal employees!
That's where 20-year veteran and NYC celebrity manicurist, Julie Kandalec comes in.
Your guests pay a premium for what they expect will be an exceptional spa service. But what if it's not? Or what if they request a service you don't offer for a big event - like their wedding? Telling them ‘no’ isn’t an option. Sending your technicians away to a class is costly and learning online is not sufficient. More importantly, allowing the perception of inferior nail services and/or lost revenue opportunities.
Hands-on masterclass workshops can be 2 hours to 5 days long and tailored to your brand’s needs and hours of availability. Non-product specific, classes are designed not only for nail technicians, but offer invaluable skills to other members of the staff, like handling customer complaints and important time management practices.
