MEET YOUR EDUCATOR

 

​Salma Semaan —

a passion for the craft

I have been certified since I was 17 years old. Never did I think I was going to be where I am. I continued my Education in Community Service work and surprisingly enough EDUCATION. I spent years doing nails on and off while having a family. However, I found it easier to find gel courses and workshops than acrylic. The struggle was real. I traveled for 20 years and I am now in Melbourne. I spent time in the Middle East and in Canada. My time in Canada was the peak of my evolvement. I took courses and classes on a monthly basis and attended a number of beauty shows. I did not attend these as a customer but as a representative. I worked with Adrienn from The Nail Art studio. She is Hungarian and has a heavy knowledge in European skills and techniques. After having my own studio for 5 years it was time to move again. My passion for my work was only growing and I was limited with access in Halifax. Australia was always home and the heart of the acrylic world to me. This is now what I am expanding. Still acrylic courses and skill upgrade workshops are limited. Until now… Why learn with me? 21 years experience has skills that are stunning and consistant. However, learning from myself delivers so much more. I am an entrepreneur with strong business resume because this is not my only business. Teaching more than the technique is what I help you understand. I have created a system that you not only follow step by step but understand the why and how behind it. Understanding Acrylic is something I have mastered but I can also do this with Gel. I have spent years integrating between each other. “Yes” you can apply gel on acrylic and vice versa. I have done this for years.! I am current in the industry with up-to-date education, so now let me teach you. I have an education background and I know how to deliver.
