TRAIN WITH NEATEN®
Where Foot Care Standards, Structure, and Professional Responsibility Meet
The NEATEN® Method is not a pedicure technique. It is a structured foot care system designed for licensed professionals who recognize that many persistent nail and skin issues stem from improper technique and unstructured decision-making.
NEATEN® education is built around assessment, restraint, and disciplined execution to equip professionals to deliver higher-standard foot care while protecting tissue integrity, scope, and long-term outcomes.
Whether you are refining your practice, addressing recurring client issues, or seeking standards-based education, NEATEN® training is designed to elevate how foot care is delivered and understood in professional settings.
WHO IT’S FOR
Licensed nail professionals seeking standards-based specialization
Salon owners training teams to deliver consistent, responsible care
Medical or private practices seeking safer foot care protocols
