The Resource speaker of this workshop was Ms. Sehajman Kaur, an alumnus of the college, who is a luxury press on nail artist and educator and is the owner of ‘The Nail Therapy’ studio in Jalandhar.
Addressing the students, Ms. Sehajman Kaur spoke about the techniques, tools, essential products that are used and the latest trends that are popularly in demand amongst the clients these days. She also made students aware about the disorders and diseases of nails. Along with this she shared how to attend clients while running their own salon and provide them satisfactory services.
During the workshop, the resource person also highlighted, “It’s important to focus on grooming and hygiene of nails and keep in check the kind of products you are using. This helps one to keep the nails in healthy condition.” Ms. Kaur also emphasised that an individual’s lifestyle and diet also play a vital role in this.
On the importance and relevance of this workshop, Dr. Neerja Dhingra, Principal of ACFA, opined that practical exposure in college courses is essential for bridging the gap between theory and real-world application for it enhances understanding, develops critical skills, boosts employability, and fosters innovation. Moreover, hands-on experience builds confidence, improves retention, and facilitates a smoother transition from academia to industry and by integrating practical learning through such workshops, students gain valuable problem-solving abilities and real-life insights, making them better prepared for professional challenges.
Dr. Dhingra further emphasised that keeping this in mind here at Apeejay, it is ensured that the students get maximum exposure when it comes to learning through practical work.
