Free Acrylic Nail Course + Starter Kit | Learn Acrylics in Houston, TX

115.00 USD

This is where it starts.

If you've wanted to learn acrylics but never knew where to begin — this is it. One kit, one course, one expert showing you exactly how it's done. In person, in Houston.

What's included: a free 1–1.5 hour hands-on acrylic course

Taught by fully booked, working nail techs right here in Houston — the kind who do this every day, on real clients. No experience required. Just show up ready to learn.

You'll leave knowing how to do a complete acrylic set, start to finish. We don't say that lightly.

What your course covers

  • Chemical safety — what you're working with, and how to protect yourself
  • Product knowledge — every tool and product in your kit, and what it's for
  • Acrylic application — the hardest skill to learn on your own, broken down step by step
  • Beginner mistakes — the ones everyone makes, and how to skip them from day one

What's inside your kit

  • 4 fl oz Advance Plus Monomer
  • Ultrabond
  • Dehydrator
  • XXL or XL Square Nail Tips — box of 504
  • File, 100/100 or 150/150
  • 3 heart buffers
  • 1 oz Acrylic Cover Powder
  • Full nail tip set
  • 2 nail glue sticks
  • #12 Magic Kolinsky acrylic brush
  • Dappen dish
  • Nail tip cutter (pink or black)

Everything you touch in the course goes home with you — so the morning after, you can sit down and run a full set on your own. This is the kit your first real set gets built on.

How it works

How to book + grab your kit

  1. Pick your location and class time right here on this page — your kit and your seat get added together automatically.
  2. At checkout, choose Pickup — not shipping. You're coming in for the class, so your kit is waiting for you when you arrive. (Choosing shipping sends the kit to your door and you'll miss the in-person class.)
  3. Show up to your booked time ready to learn. It's all hands-on, and the full kit goes home with you.

Heads-up: classes are small and seats go fast — when a time's gone, it's gone. Grab the one you want while it's open.

Who This Is For

Complete beginners, DIY nail lovers, and aspiring nail techs in the Houston area who want to learn the right way — with real products, real instruction, and zero guesswork.

Important Notice

This course includes a Certificate of Completion — but it is not a cosmetology or nail technician license.

In the state of Texas, a license is required to perform nail services for compensation. This course is intended for personal use only and does not qualify you to offer paid nail services to clients.

If you're interested in becoming a licensed nail tech in Texas, ask us in class — we'll share the schools we personally recommend in the Houston area.

Need to reschedule?

Just call the store and we'll move you to another time. Give us at least 48 hours' notice whenever you can. Life happens, so if you miss your class, we'll grant a one-time reschedule to get you back in.
