Searching for a beauty parlour course in Nepal usually turns up a list of names, a phone number and no fees. That is deliberate, and it makes comparing anything impossible. This guide publishes our full 2026 course fees, explains exactly what the two-month Combo Course covers, and sets out what “kit included” should mean before you pay a rupee to anyone.

What the two-month Combo Course actually covers
The Combo Course at NPR 3,10,000 is our flagship programme, and it exists because a beauty professional with one skill has one income stream. Over two months it combines three complete disciplines:
- Nails — acrylic and gel extensions, dry manicure, pedicure, gel polish and nail art. The full content of the 45-day Professional Nail Course.
- Lashes — classic, volume and hybrid extension techniques plus lash lift and tint.
- Brows and PMU — microblading, microshading and nano machine training, brow mapping, symmetry and colour theory.
It comes with all three professional kits, multiple live model sessions across every discipline, full certification and a guaranteed internship. Bought separately, the nail, lash and brow programmes together come to more than the combo fee — which is the point.
Is the combo right for you?
Take it if you are starting a career from scratch, planning to open your own parlour, or currently offering one service and losing clients to salons that offer everything. Do not take it if you already work in nails and only want to add brows — in that case the one-week microblading course at NPR 95,000 or the 14-day masterclass at NPR 1,65,000 is the sharper spend.
“Kit included” — what to check before you pay
This phrase does more work in beauty course marketing than any other, and it hides an enormous range. Ask these four questions of any academy in Kathmandu, including us:
- Is the kit a starter kit or a professional kit? A student kit that runs out in three weeks is not a business asset. Our brow masterclass includes a master kit box worth NPR 75,000 — ask any academy to put a rupee value on theirs.
- Which brands? Named brands can be re-ordered, verified and priced. Unbranded pigment and unlabelled adhesive cannot. We are the authorized Goochie distributor for Nepal, so students train on the same professional machines, pigments and cartridges they will buy afterwards — and know what refills cost.
- Do you keep the machine? For PMU courses this is the big one. A course that lends you a machine for the week leaves you unable to work on the Monday after graduation.
- What does a month of consumables cost afterwards? If nobody can answer, they have not thought about your business, only your enrolment.
Live models: the part that decides whether you can work
You cannot learn to place a lash fan, carve an acrylic apex or hold consistent needle depth on a piece of practice skin. Latex does not bleed, does not flinch and does not have a different skin type from the person in your chair tomorrow.
Ask precisely how many live models you will work on, and whether they are supplied or whether you are expected to bring your own. Ask whether a trainer is beside you correcting your hand in real time or watching from across the room. And ask what the student-to-trainer ratio is — a class of fifteen with one trainer is a lecture, not training.
Certificate, internship and what happens after graduation
A certificate is worth exactly what the institution behind it is worth to clients and employers. What matters more is what follows it. Internship support means supervised time with real clients, which is where speed comes from — the difference between a graduate who takes three hours for a full set and a professional who takes ninety minutes is simply repetitions.
Before you enrol, ask to speak to a former student who graduated more than six months ago, and ask where they are working now. Any academy confident in its outcomes will make that call happen.
What you can realistically earn
Straight numbers, using our own service menu as the reference point. A manicure with gel polish is NPR 2,500 and takes 30 to 60 minutes. Classic lash extensions start at NPR 3,500. Microblading is NPR 15,000 per client and nano brows NPR 32,500.
A nail technician doing three clients a day is generating meaningful daily revenue from a kit that fits in a bag. A PMU artist doing four microblading clients a month is at NPR 60,000 in treatment revenue before touch-ups. Those numbers are gross, not profit — you still have rent or commission, consumables and marketing — but they explain why the combo fee is recoverable within the first year for most graduates who actually work.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a beauty parlour course cost in Nepal?
At Artistry Academy fees range from NPR 55,000 for the 14-day Professional Lash Course to NPR 3,10,000 for the two-month Combo Course covering nails, lashes and brows or PMU. The 45-day Professional Nail Course is NPR 1,50,000 and the one-week microblading course is NPR 95,000.
What does the two-month Combo Course include?
Nail, lash and brow or PMU training combined, including microblading and nano machine work, all three professional kits, multiple live model sessions, full certification and a guaranteed internship. It costs NPR 3,10,000 and runs over two months.
Do I need any experience to join?
No. The nail, lash, microblading and combo courses all start at beginner level and progress to advanced. Only the 14-day Ultimate Brows Masterclass assumes some prior brow or PMU experience.
Is the kit really included in the fee?
Yes — every course includes its professional kit, and the Ultimate Brows Masterclass includes a master kit box worth NPR 75,000. Students train on genuine Goochie equipment, which is the same kit they can restock from us afterwards as the authorized distributor for Nepal.
Will I get a certificate and a job?
Every course ends with a certificate of completion, and all of them include internship support — the combo course includes a guaranteed internship. Supervised work with real clients after graduation is what builds the speed employers and clients are paying for.
Which course should I take first if my budget is limited?
The 14-day Professional Lash Course at NPR 55,000 is the lowest entry point and the fastest to start earning from, since a lash set takes under two hours and clients rebook every two to three weeks. Many students take lashes first, then add nails or brows once they are working.
