Founder of WHY NOT NAILS Training Center & Studio | Lead Instructor

WHY NOT NAILS is where a working nail studio meets a training academy, and both operate at the highest level. Elizaveta brings years of business consulting experience to every on-site intensive, not just technical instruction. 

Our training is built on the real-world experience of opening and scaling salons across various US states. Elizaveta Kolodiy personally brings this expertise to your doorstep, helping you bridge the gap between technical skills and business profitability.

The Gap in the US Nail Industry

Today, the biggest challenge in the US nail market is a critical shortage of consistent, high-level quality, not just a lack of technicians.
As a salon owner, you face a shortage of professional on-site training options and struggle with:

  • Inconsistency: Every technician has a different style, making it impossible to guarantee a “house standard.”
  • Slow Adaptation: New hires take too long to meet your salon’s specific requirements.
  • Technical Flaws: Many skilled artists lack the specific high-end techniques (like the Russian Manicure) that premium clients demand.

Why On-Site Training Solves It

We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Sometimes, you don’t need to send one tech to a course; you need the entire team to adopt a unified approach through in-salon nail training. Our on-site nail technician training offers: 

  • Real-World Environment: We train your team in their actual workspace, using your equipment.
  • Team Synchronization: Instruction is available in English, Russian, and Spanish to ensure total clarity.
  • Multilingual Support: We teach in English, Russian, and Spanish — so every member of your team understands the material, not just the lead technician.

Students Come to Us From All Across America

While our flagship studio is based in Brooklyn, NY, our mission is nationwide. Whether you are looking for personal nail training in New York or in-salon nail technician courses in your home state, we’ve got you covered. 

  • The Tri-State Area: New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania.
  • Across the US: Florida, Texas, California, Illinois, Georgia, and beyond.

Can’t come to New York? We’ll come to you. Whether you are a boutique studio or a large-scale salon, we offer in-salon nail technician courses and on-site intensives available for most major locations across the country.

I had a Russian manicure with deep powder at Why Not Nails, and I’m absolutely in love with the results. The cuticle work was extremely precise and clean, giving my nails a flawless and polished look. The deep powder application is smooth, lightweight, and very durable. My nails look elegant, natural, and well-groomed, and the manicure lasts beautifully without chipping. The attention to detail and professionalism at Why Not Nails really stand out. Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for high-quality Russian manicure and long-lasting results

Amazing place! I’ve been working a lot and was on my feet 10-12 hrs a day so I needed my pedicure done badly. Uliana was my master and she’s so nice and did such great job! Highly recommend

This is the best nail salon in Brooklyn. I've been coming here since 2019. The service is excellent, and the girls are true professionals. They always offer coffee or tea, and the administrators are very friendly.????

I came to the WHY NOT NAILS salon as a model. They did a wonderful job on my nails, including extensions and careful cuticle removal without any cuts. They took all my color preferences into account. The atmosphere in the salon was lovely and I left in a great mood. Thank you so much!

I’ve been going to WhyNot Nails for around 4 years now. I really love the atmosphere here, and the service is just excellent. The quality is outstanding. I come here both as a client and as a hand model, and they do a fantastic job. I’ve uploaded photos of my gel Russian manicure: some pictures are from this year, and some are from previous years. Lisa is absolutely amazing. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I hope the salon continues to grow in the future. Thank you!
