For Salons
I know this business from both sides of the table
My name is Alina Symonenko. Over 18 years in the nail industry I went from master to owner of a studio I built from scratch, made profitable and sold. I’m an 8-time Ukrainian champion, a trainer at the Ukrainian SPU Championship and an Akzentz Certified Educator — and I’ve audited enough salons to recognise most problems before you finish describing them.

How we work together
1. You write to me — a few lines about your salon and the task. 2. We talk: a free introductory call where I ask the questions and you get my honest view of where to start. 3. I send a proposal — format, scope, schedule and budget, no small print. 4. We work, with concrete results rather than a nice conversation.
On-site training conditions. Groups of 3–8 masters. The salon provides workstations, consumables and models (I send a detailed checklist in advance); each master brings their own cutting instruments. Teaching language is Ukrainian; Polish or English with an interpreter, paid separately. Settlement in euro or złoty.
