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.
