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 an amazing experience at Why Not Nail! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The entire team was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They offered me coffee and tea, made sure I was comfortable, and created such a warm and relaxing atmosphere. A special thank you to Nadya (Nadezhda) and Gia for their outstanding work. They were professional, patient, and paid great attention to every detail. I came in with a reference photo, and honestly, the final result turned out even better than I expected. The shape, design, and overall execution were flawless. The salon is clean, stylish, and very welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and take pride in their work. I’m absolutely in love with my nails and have already received so many compliments!

Yevva is 10/10, I was in the neighborhood and needed a mani/pedi. I came in as a walk in at 5:15 on a Friday! Yevva took her time, like a scientist, LOVED. It looks super clean and my feet feel super soft :) I bought a new pumice to maintain until I go back. Next time, I will book an appointment for the AM.
