EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

TONi offers the most thorough training available in the nail enhancement field.  All classes were created by Ellen Flood, who is an Award Winning Nail Technician, Competition Nail Judge & Director, International Educator, AEFM Educator, and guest speaker.

EDUCATION FOCUS

Is on knowledge and skills that surpass basic product application classes and this training is exceptional since we limit all classes to 4–8 students. Therefore we encourage early registration.

OUR MISSION

Is to raise the nail technician’s standard through education, product and services.  This demands constant development of the most up-to-date and informative classes and these are delivered in professional classrooms at our new location. Classes will consist of classroom lectures including in-depth theory, demonstrations for services and products, and hands on practical training, and in some cases guest educators will be invited to share their knowledge and skills.  TONi’s classes are designed to ensure your success. TONi is the ideal place to start your training or, in many cases, a source for fine-tuning your skills and learning new techniques. We can help with your “everyday” questions as well as provide in-depth practical training. It’s about taking time with every Technician and that, essentially, is the TONi difference.
