2-Day Hands-On Dual Forms Nail Extension Course
Intensive hands-on training for nail techs who want to master Dual Forms with Builder Gel, improve structure and form fit, and confidently create Almond, Square, and French extensions.
About this class
Stop guessing with Dual Forms. Learn how to understand the structure behind the technique. This intensive 2-day hands-on course is designed for nail technicians who want to confidently create Dual Form extensions using Builder Gel. You will learn how to evaluate the natural nail, choose the correct Dual Form, customize it when necessary, control the amount and placement of Builder Gel, and create balanced nail architecture. The goal is not simply to learn how to fill a form and press it onto the nail. You will learn why the form fits, how much product is needed, where the apex and stress area should be, how much pressure to use, and how to adapt the technique when every client's nails are different. You will practice two essential salon shapes: DAY 1 — ALMOND DAY 2 — SQUARE + FRENCH You will also work with creative Dual Form techniques including gradient, bubble, texture, and other embedded effects. This is a hands-on course, not demonstration-only training. You will practice under educator supervision and receive guidance and corrections throughout the class.
