Midwest techs need advanced nail education, but it doesn’t often come to that area. That’s why event coordinator Jill Wright has organized several companies for two days of hands-on workshops at the French Lick Resort in Indiana on April 26-27. There will be 12 different classes, including acrylic nails, gel enhancements, electric file pedicures, toenail reconstruction, modern French ombre nails, and a nail artist workshop.
The Smokies Nail Show, being held July 10-13 in Gatlinburg, Tenn., will feature 30 optional hands-on workshops ranging in price from free to $150+.
