At Laloo Cosmetics, we’re committed to elevating the skills and artistry of South Africa’s nail technicians, and our recent Sculpting Mastery Workshop was a testament to that mission. Designed to offer both foundational and advanced techniques, this workshop focused on professional nail sculpting and shaping, teaching attendees how to customize each nail form to suit individual clients. 

With expert guidance, our participants explored the full range of sculpting systems – Acrylic, Champion gel, and our innovative Acrygel – while also enjoying a hands-on experience with our premium Laloo products.

Precision Shaping and Cutting for Individual Clients

Creating a perfectly sculpted nail begins with understanding each client’s unique nail shape. At Sculpting Mastery, our educators demonstrated the nuances of cutting and shaping nail forms to suit a variety of natural nail structures. Participants learned the importance of selecting and customizing forms for the best fit, enhancing comfort and durability for clients. This essential skill elevates the quality of a nail service, setting a technician apart as a true professional. 

Sculpting Systems: Acrylic, Gel, and Acrygel

With the fundamentals in place, we moved on to the art of sculpting with each of Laloo’s major systems:

• Acrylic: Known for its strength, acrylic is a popular choice, and we covered advanced techniques for building flawless extensions that last.
• Gel: Ideal for natural, flexible finishes, the gel sculpting demonstration emphasized application tips for creating a light, seamless look that clients love.
• Acrygel: A workshop favorite, Acrygel impressed attendees with its unique blend of acrylic strength and gel flexibility, offering smooth application without sticky residue.

Participants especially appreciated the ease and versatility of Acrygel, with many discovering new ways to incorporate it into their service offerings.

Bonus Technique: Extending with Champion Gel and Dual Tips

As a special addition, our educator, Onica, presented a unique approach to nail extension using Champion Gel with dual tips. This innovative technique offers another efficient way to create beautiful extensions, adding a powerful tool to each technician’s repertoire. Onica’s demonstration inspired attendees to explore new methods for delivering flawless results with the highest quality and durability.

Hands-On Learning with Laloo Products

Our Sculpting Mastery Workshop didn’t stop at demos; participants were given the chance to work directly with Laloo products. With support from our educators, attendees practiced sculpting and shaping techniques, gaining confidence in their abilities and insights into how each product works best. The hands-on aspect of the workshop allowed technicians to refine their skills and experience the ease and quality of our products firsthand.
