Im chortip, live in Bangkok, Thailand.

In my hometown, nail care/ nail spa / nail salon/ everything about nails... are something new. My sister and I see this opportunity, therefore, we decided to get into "Nail" business.

Unfortunately, I always work in Automotive spare part business and my sister as a lawyer barely know something about Nail industry.

Here, i would like to ask for your advice...

As an Asian... we always follow Japanese techniques since it is seen as a leader. But the problem is Japanese only speaks Japanese. Until now, My sister and I can't get to any Japanese nail school that provide a course used English media

To go to UK, it's kind of costly...
To get training course in Thailand, frankly speaking, i dont believe it's worth to do so.

Do you have any advice for me?

Thank u in advice for all ur comments.

Sorry my world geography is not very good - if you go to a website of a company you may be interested in training with, see if they have training academies near to you:

Here is the link to the Creative Nail Design one: Find A Salon featuring Creative Nail Design products - Nail Care, Enhancements, and Spa Beauty Products

How about this link?

Nail Art Studio, Nail Art Academy and Distributor

Thank you natural nail and Cathie..
Cathie, the link you gave is very useful... it was in my trainer list and we have been in contact for a while. If you hv other useful links, please advice me

Hi there,

If you were both thinking of travelling to the UK for training, have you considered Australia as an option?
Closer-cheaper.

There are a few colleges here on the east coast that cater to overseas student training.

I think you would be needing the equivelant of our Australian Certificate IV in Nail Technology to be able to maintain the work back in your hometown.

The length of these course's vary & the option is also available to attend day or evening classes.

PM or email me if you would like more information - or go to APFA - The Australian Association for Professional Nail Practitioners
A list of college's throughout Australia is available on the site.
