Salon staff training
Whats inside Skill in a Box?
What does the staff training course cover?
The course covers operating the X12.5, design selection, prep, application, topcoat, customer-facing pricing, and how to position the service inside a salon menu. Self-paced video modules with downloadable cheat sheets.
Do my techs need prior nail-art skill?
No. Thats the point. The X12.5 prints art-grade designs your existing techs run on day one. The training course covers the operating workflow, not painting technique.
How long does it take?
The operating module is under 2 hours. Most techs print their first paid nail the same day. The full course (including pricing, marketing, and launch) takes about 4 hours total.
Whats included with the X12.5 salon bundle?
Machine, starter cartridge pack, the staff training course, the salon launch toolkit, three onboarding calls over 90 days, and the extended warranty.
Can I buy the course separately?
Yes — contact us for a la carte course pricing. The course is included free with every X12.5 salon-bundle order.
