WHY GET CERTIFIED?


  • You feel like you're doing everything right but your clients' nails just seem to chip and peel no matter what

  • You want to take your services to the next level but don't know where to start

  • You want to get the most out of your products that you're using

  • You're unsatisfied with the quality of your current products

  • You don't feel like you stand out from the crowd enough


There are so many nail products on the market these days and it can get confusing on what to use, when to use, and how to use it all. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned nail technician, you only want to provide the best to your clients.


Gel nail systems are quickly becoming the most in-demand salon service for clients today. Popularized in the 1980s, the soft potted gel system is the predominant way to do nails in Japan.


KOKOIST was created in 2010 by CEO Koko Kashiwagi. Meeting the demand for gel products that were not available at the time, KOKOIST is the first semi-hard gel of its kind. This high-quality professional-grade gel is 9-free, long-lasting for 4+ weeks, and highly pigmented to satisfy the needs of all clients.


In short, Better knowledge = Better products for your clients = Better services = Happier clients = More regular clients = Booked Success!


So if you are someone who:

  • Feels products are confusing or don't work as well as you want them to

  • Keeps running into application problems and hasn't found that AHA moment

  • Is having a hard time getting and keeping clients

  • Wants to charge higher prices but aren't confident in your current skills

  • Wants to incorporate more gel products into their services and/or wants to specialize in gel services only

  • Loves and uses KOKOIST already and wants to receive an accredited certification

  • Feels isolated in the nail industry and wants to join a community of nail artists like yourself


Getting a KOKOIST certification may be the right step in REsetting and REinvesting in your business and your clients!
