How to Become a Celebrity Manicurist:
An Insider’s Guide with Julie Kandalec
Welcome!
I'm Julie Kandalec - celebrity manicurist in NYC. I've been doing nails my whole life, and I come from a family of educators. It wasn't long before I had to combine nails + education.
What started as teaching hands-on skills like nail art and structured manicures switched over to teaching entrepreneurial skills in 2021 - countless nail & beauty pros were asking me how to get paid to do NYFW, how much to charge an editorial client on set, how to get agency representation, and more.
So in 2022, I designed and launched (without the help of A.I.) my signature 8-week training, Nailpreneur. The full training is on a break, but lucky you... you finally have your chance to learn one of it's most highly sought-after modules: How to Become a Celebrity Manicurist. Condensed and pocked sized, just for attendees of UNE.
Who is Julie Kandalec? (@julieknailsnyc)
Julie's clients include Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Camila Cabello, Viola Davis, Anya Taylor Joy, Pink, and Selena Gomez. Her quotes are regularly featured in Allure, Cosmopolitan, Forbes, Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Vogue, and WWD and her "handiwork" has held SAG Awards, Golden Globes, Emmys, and more than one Oscar.
Julie is deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of beauty pros, helping them build successful, thriving careers for decades to come.
Are you in?
A big celebrity has sent you a DM:
"Hey! I'm in town and I need my nails done tomorrow. Are you available?"
Do you freeze and panic, not knowing what to do?
Or smile because you know how to respond confidently and ask the right questions to get her to confirm with you?
Working with big celebrities and VIP clients is not just about skill - that is only a tiny part of it really. It’s about strategy, connections, and knowing the real industry secrets that no one is sharing...
Until now.
This class isn't me talking about myself for 90 minutes, then spilling a whole 2.5 behind-the-scenes secrets in the last 10 minutes of class.
I can't stand that. This class is all about YOU, nail babe.
In this masterclass, I’m unclipping the velvet rope on how I built a career working with some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Emily Blunt, Anya Taylor Joy, Camila Cabello, Viola Davis, Selena Gomez, Joe Jonas, and more.
My work has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and Harper’s Bazaar and on the runway at over 80 major shows at New York Fashion Week.
I didn’t just get lucky - I cracked the code, and now, I’m handing you my playbook.
You’ll walk away with actionable steps and the confidence to start booking VIP jobs, connect with the right industry insiders, and handle high-profile clients like a pro - even if you don’t live in a major city!
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from me - I almost never teach this in person. If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to take action, this is it!
I have no idea when I’ll offer this class again, so don’t miss your chance to get the exact blueprint that helped me - and my Nailpreneur graduates - build thriving VIP beauty careers.
If you’re serious about breaking into the celebrity nail world, or just curious how to act, what questions to ask, and what to charge should a VIP slide into your DM's (it happens more than you think!) this class is your golden ticket.
Spots are limited - secure your seat to the future you - now.
