Kathmandu Nail Art Seminar
This seminar marked a major step in raising Nepal’s standards in nail art and beauty care.
Japanese Experts Lead Advanced Workshops
The seminar featured five renowned Japanese nail artists — Haru, Miyano, Kanako, Maiko, and Oki. Each expert brought years of international experience. They guided Nepali participants through technical sessions that focused on skill, hygiene, and design.
The sessions included lessons on:
Nail preparation and hygiene
Tool care and maintenance
Detailed design techniques
Creating handmade nail stickers
Participants learned the importance of clean practices and attention to detail. The sessions offered real-time demonstrations, allowing trainees to practice techniques directly with the artists.
Organized to Uplift Nepal’s Nail Industry
The seminar was presented by Pop Up Nepal Pvt. Ltd., with organizing support from Pretty Nails and The Nail Studio by Sirap. The goal was to bring global trends to local salons and empower Nepali nail artists with modern methods.
Nepal’s nail industry is growing. Yet, professionals often lack access to international training. This event helped bridge that gap.
According to the organizers, the seminar aimed to boost both skills and confidence. It allowed local artists to compare their work with international benchmarks.
Strong Focus on Practical Learning
Unlike traditional beauty workshops, this seminar stressed hands-on experience. Japanese artists led each session by demonstrating techniques step-by-step. Then, participants practiced the methods under expert guidance.
This structure helped learners gain clarity and confidence. They didn’t just watch; they created.
Trainees explored everything from basic brush techniques to complex layering. Many called the experience inspiring and eye-opening.
Cultural Exchange Alongside Learning
The event also promoted cultural exchange. Organizers Anu Amatya, Sirapa Tuladhar, and Kapil Upreti said the seminar was not just about nail art—it was also about building connections between Nepal and Japan.
Participants got to interact directly with the Japanese team. They discussed trends, styles, and customer preferences. The friendly atmosphere encouraged sharing of ideas and traditions.
This interaction added depth to the technical sessions and opened new doors for collaboration.
Local Partners Support the Movement
The seminar received support from several partners. Ayo provided transport services as the official ride partner. MoleTole served as the food partner, while Prettyclick offered special sponsorship.
These brands helped ensure smooth operations and added value to the overall experience. Their involvement showed a growing interest in Nepal’s evolving beauty sector.
A Boost for Nepali Nail Professionals
Participants came from across the country. Some were salon owners. Others were freelance nail artists or new learners. But they all shared a common goal — to improve their craft.
Many said the training gave them a new perspective. Some even plan to introduce Japanese-inspired services in their salons. Others expressed interest in attending more global seminars.
The event also introduced modern tools and products not commonly used in Nepal. This gave artists ideas for expanding their services.
Looking to the Future
The success of the seminar has sparked interest in more international programs. Organizers hinted at possible future events featuring artists from Korea, Thailand, or Europe. These could further raise the standard of Nepal’s beauty and nail sector.
Nepal is slowly becoming a destination for creative exchange in beauty. Events like this prove there is demand and talent, ready to grow.
Conclusion
The International Nail Seminar in Kathmandu set a new milestone for Nepal’s nail art industry. It connected passionate Nepali professionals with some of Japan’s best talent. The result was not just skill-building but also cultural understanding.
With global guidance, local artists now have the tools and vision to take their craft to the next level. As interest in modern nail design grows, so does Nepal’s potential to shine in the international beauty scene.
