Apply ultraviolet gel nail enhancement

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Gel nail application services are performed in response to client consultation and assessment, conducted and recorded on a treatment plan. They could be an individual treatment or form part of a series of regular treatments that have been designed to meet client requirements.

The unit applies to nail technicians and other beauty workers in nail salons and beauty salons, who interpret observations and information, and follow known routines in order to plan and perform gel nail services that meet client requirements.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to perform a range of artificial ultraviolet (UV) light gel-based products to enhance the appearance of fingernails or toenails.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
