Before you start

Do I have to start at Phase 1?

No. You start in the phase that fits your sets and your sales today, and the free 30 minute call with Chloe or the five minute placement quiz tells you which phase that is.

How do I know which phase is right for me?

Book the free 30 minute call with Chloe: she reads your questionnaire before you talk and tells you which phase makes sense for your skill level and your business right now. If you would rather work it out by yourself, the placement quiz takes about five minutes.

Is the free call a sales pitch?

The 30 minutes are about your sets, your sales and which phase fits you, and Chloe reads your questionnaire before the call. If a paid phase fits, she tells you what it costs and how to join with no pressure to buy, and sometimes her honest answer is not yet.

What if I already sell press on nails?

Many artists who already sell press on nails join The Press On CEO Method to clean up their pricing, workflow, systems and marketing. The free call tells you which phase fits you.

Is The Press On CEO Method for beginners or advanced artists?

Both. Beginners learn the craft properly from day one in Phase 1, and artists who are further along use Phase 2 and Phase 3 to run what they already do as a real business.

How is The Press On CEO Method different from other nail education?

The Press On CEO Method teaches the business of press on nails alongside the craft: pricing, workflow, branding, marketing, systems and long term growth. Chloe is in the member portal every day, on top of the live calls.

How much does The Press On CEO Method cost?

Phase 1 is $397 USD and Phase 2 is $1,497 USD, and buyers in the US can split either one into payments at checkout. Phase 3 is $999 a year, $599 for six months or $120 a month, and the call and the quiz are free.

How long does each phase take?

Most people finish Phase 1 in about four weeks, and Phase 2 runs at least 8 weeks, with most artists launching in 12 to 16 weeks. Phase 3 is a membership you pay by the year, six months or month, and you keep it for as long as it helps you.

What if I'm overwhelmed or short on time?

You can fit it around a busy life: Phase 1 runs at your pace, Phase 2 opens one step a week, and your access to Phase 1 and Phase 2 never expires.

Can I get a refund?

Phase 1 and Phase 2 sales are final, because your access starts the moment you pay. Phase 3 has a 5 day money back guarantee: email [email protected] or reply to your welcome email within 5 days of paying, and we start your full refund within 24 hours.

Is everything online and taught in English?

Yes. Every phase of The Press On CEO Method is online and taught in English, the live calls are on Zoom, and the Method has trained 1,500 artists across 40+ countries.

Phase 1 | Mastering Luxury Press On Nails

What is Phase 1, and who should start there?

Phase 1, Mastering Luxury Press On Nails, is the craft course that teaches you to make press ons that look and last like a salon service, starting from zero. If your sets already look and last the way you want, Phase 2 is the better place to start.

What's included in Phase 1?

Phase 1 includes nine modules that all open the day you enroll, two live calls a month with Chloe, and Chloe's feedback on your work as you go.

The nine modules: Becoming a Press On Artist, Building Your Workspace, Luxury Press On Tips, Understanding Gel, Prepping Your Tips, Building Structure, Gel Application and Design, The Final Touch, and Preparing for Business.

  • A buying list that tells you what to get first and which brands are worth it
  • $200 off Julie Ventura's hand painted nail art course
  • A graduate gift on Phase 2 when you finish
How much is Phase 1, and is there a payment plan?

Phase 1 is $397 USD, and buyers in the US can choose a payment plan on the payment step at checkout. Outside the US it is one payment in US dollars for now, and your bank does the conversion.

How long does Phase 1 take?

Most people finish Phase 1 in about four weeks. All nine modules open on day one, so you go at your pace, and your access never expires.

Will anyone check my Phase 1 work?

Yes. Every module ends with a Take Action step you post in the Phase 1 community, Chloe gives you feedback on your work as you go, and she reviews your final set herself before you start selling.

Is Phase 1 live or recorded?

The Phase 1 lessons are recorded, so you watch them whenever it suits you. The two live calls a month are on Zoom on Sundays at 4pm EST, and the replay goes up the next morning.

Do I need to buy products before Phase 1?

No. The Phase 1 buying list tells you what to get first and which brands are worth it, and you can ask Chloe before you order anything.

What happens when I pay for Phase 1?

Your login lands in your inbox within a few minutes and Phase 1 opens straight away, so you start Module 1 and order your products from the buying list while you work through the first lessons. Your first live call is the next Kick Off on the first Sunday of the month or the Recap on the fourth Sunday.

Will I get a certificate for Phase 1?

Phase 1 has no paper certificate. You get a badge in the portal when you graduate, and you can say you trained with The Press On CEO Method.

Phase 2 | Launch Your Luxury Press On Business

Do I have to take Phase 1 before Phase 2?

No. If your sets already look and last the way you want, you can start with Phase 2, and if they still lift or don't fit right, Phase 1 is the place to start.

What's included in Phase 2?

Phase 2, Launch Your Luxury Press On Business, includes eight steps of lessons in order, the templates and frameworks you fill in for your business, and four live calls a month with Chloe.

  • Two of the four calls are with the whole community and two are just for Phase 2, where Chloe reviews your work and gives feedback
  • Community support and accountability
  • Lifetime access to every lesson and future update
  • A certificate of excellency when you finish
What's not included in Phase 2?

Phase 2 teaches you to build everything yourself, so the team does not design your brand, build your shop, write your posts or send your emails for you. You run all of it after launch.

What if I've already launched but didn't get results?

Phase 2 still fits: you go through the steps in order, fix the parts that were not set up properly and relaunch with Chloe and the community behind you.

How long will Phase 2 take?

Phase 2 runs for at least 8 weeks, because a new step opens each week, and most artists launch in 12 to 16 weeks. You can work through it around a job or kids and still make progress every week.

How much time will Phase 2 take each week?

The time each week depends on the step, and Steps 3 and 4 take the longest. If a step runs long, you move your launch date with the Launch Timeline instead of skipping the work.

What kind of support do I get in Phase 2?

Phase 2 students get four live Zoom calls a month with Chloe, and Chloe and the team are in the Phase 2 chats in your portal every day.

How much is Phase 2, and what if I can't pay it all at once?

Phase 2 is $1,497 USD, and buyers in the US can choose a payment plan at checkout with the same access from the day they join. Outside the US it is one payment in US dollars for now.

How long do I have access to Phase 2?

Phase 2 access is for life: you keep every lesson, update and community space, even when the price goes up in the future.

What happens after I finish Phase 2?

You get your certificate of excellency, and your first Phase 3 subscription is 50% off if you want to keep growing with live sessions and new lessons.

Phase 3 | The Press On Academy

What is The Press On Academy?

The Press On Academy is Phase 3 of The Press On CEO Method, an advanced business membership for press on artists whose business is already busy, with regulars and sales well over $1,000 a month. It's built to be used every day. It opened in July 2022 and is open all year, with no application or waiting list.

Phase 3 helps solo artists grow their business themselves, through their artistry, and it can help you hire support like a VA or a social media manager. It doesn't help you outsource your nail work to overseas teams or wholesale your sets.

Who should join Phase 3?

Phase 3 is for press on artists whose business is already busy, with regulars who keep coming back and sales well over $1,000 a month.

  • You're a self starter, and you'll use the membership every week without anyone chasing you.
  • You're growing your business yourself, through your artistry, even if you hire help like a VA.
  • You want Chloe and her team working on your business with you, in the live audits and the Monday Lock In.
When is Phase 3 not the right fit?

Phase 3 isn't the right fit yet for total beginners, who start in Phase 1, or for artists whose orders still come mostly from friends and family or in bursts after a good post, who set their business up in Phase 2 and come back to Phase 3 once your orders are steady.

It doesn't help anyone outsource their nail work to overseas teams or wholesale their sets, and it isn't for quick fixes instead of long term business growth.

What's included in a Phase 3 membership?

A Phase 3 membership includes live business audits and strategy sessions, every past and new lesson, new content every week, the member community, and downloadable templates, checklists and guides.

  • Nail art tutorials, business strategy sessions, guest expert classes and Q&A sessions
  • Fitness and nutrition guides by our certified expert
  • Life coaching sessions by our business and life coach
How much does the Phase 3 membership cost?

Phase 3 costs $999 USD a year (about $83 a month), $599 for six months or $120 a month, with the same access on every plan. Phase 2 graduates get 50% off their first Phase 3 subscription.

Is there a free trial of Phase 3?

No. Phase 3 has a 5 day money back guarantee instead: email [email protected] or reply to your welcome email within 5 days of paying, and we start your full refund within 24 hours.

Is there a payment plan for Phase 3?

No, because Phase 3 already runs as a membership: you choose a year at $999, six months at $599 or monthly at $120.

Do you offer refunds on Phase 3?

Yes, within 5 days of joining: reply to your welcome email and your refund is processed within 24 hours, no questions asked. After the 5 days all sales are final, and cancelling in the portal stops future billing without refunding your current term.

Can I cancel my Phase 3 membership any time?

Yes. Every plan renews automatically at the same price until you cancel, and you can cancel or pause any time in your portal account settings, and your access stays active until the end of your current billing cycle.

If I cancel Phase 3, can I rejoin later?

Yes, and we would love to have you back. You rejoin at the current price, not your previous one.

How do I join Phase 3?

Sign up on the Phase 3 page, open your welcome email and create your login. Every lesson and community space opens straight away.

How much time do I get with Chloe in Phase 3?

Chloe leads the Kick Off, the Recap and the Monday Lock In, teaches lessons, runs live business audits and answers questions in the portal. One to one coaching is a paid extra.

How often is new content added to Phase 3?

New lessons, tutorials and business lessons are added to Phase 3 every week.

Will I have access to past Phase 3 lessons?

Yes. A Phase 3 membership includes every past lesson, guest class and business training session.

Can I watch the lessons on my phone, and do I need any software?

Yes: the member portal works on any phone, tablet or computer, and you don't need any other software. The members app, GoKollab, uses the same login as the portal, and your phases appear inside it.

How do I connect with other members?

Phase 3 members connect in the member community chats and in member activities: showcases, personal business audits, live Q&As, giveaways, member led nail art classes and group challenges.

What kind of support do I get in Phase 3?

Phase 3 members get support by email at [email protected], and from Chloe, the educators and other members in the community chats in the portal.

Can I collaborate with other members?

Yes. Many members of The Press On Academy have partnered on collaborations, content and business opportunities, and anyone interested in a leadership role can email Chloe at [email protected].

What happens after I sign up for Phase 3?

Your welcome email brings your login details, and a quick start guide helps you find your way around the Academy. Then you introduce yourself in the community so you meet other members straight away.

I still have a question. How do I reach the team?

Email [email protected], and the team gets back to you within 24 to 48 hours.
