training · consulting · support
I help salon owners with what I know best: training the team, setting up the processes and standing beside the business — in Warsaw and wherever you invite me.

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.

Tell me where you are now and where you want to be. I answer personally — no managers, no scripts.

Frequently asked questions

Do you come to the salon?

Yes. Team training takes place in your salon or in Warsaw — whichever suits the team.

Do you work with individual technicians?

Yes. Besides team training I run courses for individual nail technicians.

How much does team training cost?

It depends on the number of technicians and the programme. Write to me and I will price it for your salon.

What does consulting cover?

People and processes: hiring, money and standards. How to find technicians, how to build a price list and how to keep quality consistent.

Do you help open a salon from scratch?

Yes. Salon launch is a separate service: from the premises and equipment to the team and the price list.

Can I invite you to speak or run a webinar?

Yes. I speak at events and run online formats.
