Practice like it’s test day


A mock practical builds calm confidence.


1) Station format (example)

Station 1 (10 min): setup + sanitation + consult

Station 2 (15 min): prep + cuticle work

Station 3 (15 min): application/build

Station 4 (10 min): refine + finish

Station 5 (5 min): aftercare + rebook + reset


2) Scorecard (simple)

Safety: pass/fail

Prep: 1–5

Structure: 1–5

Finish: 1–5

Time: 1–5

Professionalism: 1–5


3) Luxury standard

Luxury under time = calm hands, clean station, clear steps.
