About Me

Hi, I’m Mik 

I’m a nail tech based in Australia and the creator behind Nails By Mik. I started my nail journey with no clue where to begin, spending hours trying to teach myself through scattered videos and trial and error. Over time, I built my skills, grew my confidence and turned nails into a successful business I truly love.

After working with clients for the past 2 years, I realised so many beginner nail techs struggle with the same things I did, such as retention, prep, shaping, confidence, pricing and knowing where to even start.

That’s why I created this course.

I wanted to make a beginner-friendly space that teaches not only how to create beautiful nails, but how to become a confident, professional nail tech. This course combines everything I’ve learned through experience, mistakes, practice and building my own business into one place.

Whether you’re completely new to nails or wanting to improve your skills, my goal is to help you feel confident, supported and excited throughout your journey 🤍

the face behind the scenes

Mik

I’m passionate about creating clean, long-lasting nails while helping beginner nail techs feel more confident in their skills and business. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a career I genuinely love, and over the past 2 years I’ve dedicated countless hours to improving my technique, growing my clientele and building a brand from the ground up.

When I First Started

I had no regulars, practicing on whoever would let me, struggling with bulky nails, lifting and wondering if I would ever be busy.
