Success Stories From Past Nail Campers

These testimonials and comments have been made by those who attended camp in the past.  We hope they will help you get excited about the next camp and the amazing experience you can have!

I’m not alone anymore.  For 30 of my 35 year career, I’d been the only nail tech at the salon. I still work alone, but I have resources now and I made lasting connections I would not have if it weren’t for camp.

This is my 3rd time going, nail Technician for 17 years. Never have I had such a big support system. I have met and made so many friends throughout the country.
How it helped/change my career is it made me more confident in making changes to my services and prices in ways that I want to offer and work. I am confident and secure in what I offer and quality. If i have any concerns or questions I have a whole network of nail techs who understand and can help.
And most of all nail camp allows me not only to meet amazing people but allows me to take classes all in one place that is affordable and interactive

t so many wonderful friends that are still very close friends to this day! It truly is the best experience! And you learn so much while you’re there that you won’t believe it didn’t cost more

Jay Arthur

Nail camp introduced me to the nail family I never thought could happen. It was such a dog eat dog world once but really we work so much better together! I have made friendships and relationships I’m so very thankful for. It’s a place where nail techs unite!

Camp completely changed my career!! Like IN EVERY WAY. The first year or 2 was mostly helping with my skills and making friends but then I started to make real connections with brand owners like Lauren Wireman. She ended up becoming my mentor and friend and we still work together to this day! She gave me opportunities I never thought were possible, and I met her and developed this relationship at camp!!

I think you’re going to get a lot of similar responses, but camp is what you make it. So it’s a different and personal experience for each person every time!
1. I have an expansive network for friends/connections that I can rely on when I need something.
2. I’ve had techs send clients to me when they’ve moved into my area.
3. I’ve learned new skills taking classes. Some I use in the salon regularly. Others I don’t, but knowledge is knowledge!
4. My clients get excited when I tell them I’m heading to camp. They know I come back with the swag bag AND new products to use in them.
5. I’ve had the opportunity to connect, take classes, make friends with some of the most talented (even award winning) nail techs in the industry, from around the world!
6. Made some friends that we now have a “camp tradition”
Mel Schumann

Love that I can share all of my skills, knowledge and techniques to a group of education hungry nail techs!!!
You get the opportunity to experience and share skills you can apply to your salon menu immediately!!
And…. Develop an exclusive nail networking platform!!

Changed my life it was absolutely amazing. You’ll learn more at nail camp than you’ll ever learn anywhere else. It’s up in personal with the trainers and the people who have come up with the product lines. It’s unbelievable plus you get to meet friends that you’ll never ever, lose in touch with if you ever need help they’re there for you. We’re all family and it’s amazing. 

Connie White

At Nail Camp, I’ve met so many Nail Techs from around the world that are now lifetime friends. They are always there for me, supporting my accomplishments and give me advise through hard times. It helped grow my confidence when I was an educator and now as a product owner. I’ve been in the industry 31 years and it’s the best event you can attend in the industry🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Becky Bunnell

Meeting the right people, can truly be life changing. And you’ll never know it, until you make an impact on them. And in return, they’ll make an impact on you. I’ve learned to dream beyond the table. 💖

Calvin Madison Jones

For me personally, it changed my life. I attended my first year and was SO shy. I went with Sandy Borges and had just became an educator for harmony and was also within 1 year of being a nail tech. I was so shy, nervous, and didn’t know anything! I became a sponge and took it all in. Throughout the many years of nail camps I have met so many amazing friends and mentors. Nail camp is now like my family reunion! If you have the opportunity to attend, it will not only change your career, but it will 100% change your life.

Tiffani Cordoza

After classes I definitely came back more confident and ready to try new products and techniques. Being around other techs and like minded individuals was exactly what I needed to grow more and move out of the slump I felt like I was starting to fall into.

Melinda Goulbourne

There is no other event that is all inclusive with some of the best educators in the industry. You will find “your” people who are like minded. They will help AND… YOU will help also. It is the most amazing networking, team building event I have ever attended and taught at. The help that’s there is beyond amazing.
Lisa Ann Bowles

It made me better connected to the community.
