ODA PRONAIL ACADEMY
To teach! To pass on not only techniques but also a piece of soul to each student. We strive for quality and meaningful values, because in my opinion, that is where true success lies.
I’m happy that my approach attracts talented artists not only from Latvia but from all over the world. My students don’t just become so-called “top masters” (that phrase makes my eye twitch), but true professionals with a deep understanding of their craft.
For me, it’s important to create not just a lesson, but a learning experience that changes lives. When the process is filled with trust, care, warmth, and smiles — when we feel comfortable even when it’s scary. My world is where quality and humanity are the key elements leading to true success and fulfillment. I believe every artist should create their own unique path.
Perhaps when looking at the works of the basic manicure course students, your eyes instinctively search for flaws. However, before judging, let’s take an honest look at their world — a world where every step on the path to perfection holds great significance.
The students of the basic manicure course are beginners at the very start of their journey. Their work is not a collection of services or competitions — it’s their first attempts. During this stage, they learn not only how to apply polish neatly or shape the perfect nail, but also how to sit correctly, hold tools and devices properly, and work safely without causing harm to clients. This requires not only technical skills, but also the development of fine motor control, attention to detail, and an understanding of hand anatomy.
It’s important to realize that every mistake and every imperfection in one’s work is a valuable experience. Mistakes are what give us the opportunity to learn and grow. What truly matters is not how many times you’ve fallen, but how many times you’ve been able to get back up and keep moving forward.
It’s also worth noting that not every experienced master can boast that their first works were flawless. We all started somewhere, and everyone faced their own challenges and setbacks along the way. Sometimes, students of basic courses show remarkable creativity and precision worthy of professionals — all thanks to their strong desire to learn and grow.
Therefore, before criticizing the work of beginner artists, remember the importance of support and understanding. They are at the very beginning of their journey, where every compliment and piece of constructive feedback can play a crucial role in their growth.
