Cuticle removal, the processes and finding out about heated booties, paraffin wax etc was really useful and interesting.

  6. Gigi

    :

    I completed a Dry Manicure and Application of Gel Polish Course yesterday and I thought it was absolutely amazing. I have only wonderful things to say about our tutor Gigi, what an encouraging and a confidence boosting lady she was. At the moment there are lots of rules due to COVID however I felt very safe and Gigi was very accommodating. Just need to work out which course to do next and hopefully see Gigi again! Thanks so much, all the communication from start to finish from the Beauty Academy has been first class.

    So glad I took this course I see this as a self investment. Kerry at London Bridge really built me up to industry standard, she was so lovely, patient and has made me ever so confident. Whatever I needed to know Kerry was ready! Guys honestly, whether you want to do it to start your business or to do your own nails do it! One way you can make money the other you can save…promise you will not regret it!

    This is the second course I have completed at the beauty academy kings cross branch and it was another great one. I had Alexia as my trainer again and she was wonderful again. Very much enjoyed the course. We were given lots of time to practice and I even left with a nice manicure. I particularly found the course helpful to get those little tips and tricks that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to pick up alone. As well as wholesaler recommendations. Because we also practices with a few different brands of gel polish we were able to see which we liked and didn’t. If there’s anything else I want to get into I will certainly be back!!

However, mostly importantly for me was that I learnt so much and left feeling confident that I had all the necessary knowledge to start work again and if I need help the team are there to support you. Thank you to Kerri.

    :

    I had Lisa for this course and she was absolutely lovely, was prepared to support us by answering any questions we had and demo as much as we needed. Totally enjoyed the practical element where we got to choose colours and some glitter and it was nice to see the other examples in the room. Came home and tried out doing a gel manicure as soon as I got home and it’s still going strong a week later! Good mix of covering critical theory points and plenty of practical opportunities.

  80. A Stellar Gel Nail Polish Training Course with Trainer Katy (Birmingham)

    :

    Last week I completed an exceptional Gel Nail Polish training course instructed by the amazing trainer Katy.
    Katy left no stone unturned during the course, ensuring we gained a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. We began by delving into the important aspects of health and safety around nail treatments. Katy’s emphasis on maintaining a safe and hygienic environment was invaluable, ensuring both our clients’ and our own well-being.
    Next up was the intriguing exploration of the anatomy and physiology of the skin and nails. Katy’s expertise in this area was evident, and she effortlessly conveyed the knowledge to us in an engaging and approachable manner.
    One of the highlights of the course was the consultation procedure. Katy skillfully taught us how to conduct thorough consultations and effectively communicate with our clients. We gained insights into their preferences and expectations, ensuring we could deliver customised gel polish treatments tailored to their needs. We were also instructed on identifying crucial contra-indications specific to gel polish, enabling us to offer safe and suitable treatments at all times.
    The importance of preparing the natural nails for gel polish application was not overlooked. Katy adeptly guided us through the process of a dry manicure, equipping us with the skills to ensure a flawless and long-lasting result. Attention to detail was essential, and Katy provided valuable tips and techniques to achieve outstanding outcomes.
    I really enjoyed the application of block gel gel polish on both fingers and toes. Katy’s expertise shone through as she demonstrated the precise techniques, allowing us to practise and refine our skills. Katy even shared her knowledge on incorporating nail glitter and rhinestones, bringing that extra touch of glamour to our nail creations.
    Of course, proper removal techniques are just as important as application, and Katy made sure we were adept in handling the removal of gel polish. A gentle and careful approach was emphasised, ensuring our clients’ nails remain healthy and undamaged throughout the process.
    To sum it up, Katy’s Gel Nail Polish training course was nothing short of phenomenal. I left with an abundance of knowledge and practical skills that have elevated my nail treatments to new heights. If you’re looking to excel in the world of gel polish, I wholeheartedly recommend this course.

I really recommend this provider.

  • Gigi

    I completed a Dry Manicure and Application of Gel Polish Course yesterday and I thought it was absolutely amazing. I have only wonderful things to say about our tutor Gigi, what an encouraging and a confidence boosting lady she was. At the moment there are lots of rules due to COVID however I felt very safe and Gigi was very accommodating. Just need to work out which course to do next and hopefully see Gigi again! Thanks so much, all the communication from start to finish from the Beauty Academy has been first class.

  • Dry manicure and application of gel polish

    I really enjoy this class at reading. Lisa was lovely and she made things easy and simple to understand. If your struggling/ don’t understand something she’s really helpful in going over things again with you. This is the second class I’ve done there (as I’ve done acrylics too with Gigi who was also lovely) and I will definitely be going back for more course and highly recommend them 😊

    So glad I took this course I see this as a self investment. Kerry at London Bridge really built me up to industry standard, she was so lovely, patient and has made me ever so confident. Whatever I needed to know Kerry was ready! Guys honestly, whether you want to do it to start your business or to do your own nails do it! One way you can make money the other you can save…promise you will not regret it!

    By Sagal Goodsir
  • This is the second course I have completed at the beauty academy kings cross branch and it was another great one. I had Alexia as my trainer again and she was wonderful again. Very much enjoyed the course. We were given lots of time to practice and I even left with a nice manicure. I particularly found the course helpful to get those little tips and tricks that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to pick up alone. As well as wholesaler recommendations. Because we also practices with a few different brands of gel polish we were able to see which we liked and didn’t. If there’s anything else I want to get into I will certainly be back!!

    By Taija
  • Excellent.That was an amazing experience.many thanks

  • Money well spent

    I recently did a refresher Mani & Pedi and Gel polish course with Kerri at London Bridge, it was brilliant she was thorough, very encouraging as well as funny, which help us relax and learn and it also made the day go by really quickly. However, mostly importantly for me was that I learnt so much and left feeling confident that I had all the necessary knowledge to start work again and if I need help the team are there to support you. Thank you to Kerri.

    By Jen

  • Excellent

    I’ve now done 2 refresher courses at the Reading facility. The tutors are lovely and provide really great information while taking you through the practical side of things. As long as you have done the pre-theory work, you will have more time to do the practical work! I would definitely recommend this facility for your training!

    By Rita
  • If I could give ten stars I would.

    I completed Spa massage with Alexia and wow what a fantastic teacher. She is calm, polite, patient, extremely knowledgable and very approachable. I enjoyed the structure of the day and left feeling confident and relaxed from all the massaging. Thank you so much Alexia.

    By Kirsty Aiken
  • An absolute must for anyone wanting to do this

    I had Lisa for this course and she was absolutely lovely, was prepared to support us by answering any questions we had and demo as much as we needed. Totally enjoyed the practical element where we got to choose colours and some glitter and it was nice to see the other examples in the room. Came home and tried out doing a gel manicure as soon as I got home and it’s still going strong a week later! Good mix of covering critical theory points and plenty of practical opportunities.

  • A Stellar Gel Nail Polish Training Course with Trainer Katy (Birmingham)

    Last week I completed an exceptional Gel Nail Polish training course instructed by the amazing trainer Katy.
    Katy left no stone unturned during the course, ensuring we gained a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. We began by delving into the important aspects of health and safety around nail treatments. Katy’s emphasis on maintaining a safe and hygienic environment was invaluable, ensuring both our clients’ and our own well-being.
    Next up was the intriguing exploration of the anatomy and physiology of the skin and nails. Katy’s expertise in this area was evident, and she effortlessly conveyed the knowledge to us in an engaging and approachable manner.
    One of the highlights of the course was the consultation procedure. Katy skillfully taught us how to conduct thorough consultations and effectively communicate with our clients. We gained insights into their preferences and expectations, ensuring we could deliver customised gel polish treatments tailored to their needs. We were also instructed on identifying crucial contra-indications specific to gel polish, enabling us to offer safe and suitable treatments at all times.
    The importance of preparing the natural nails for gel polish application was not overlooked. Katy adeptly guided us through the process of a dry manicure, equipping us with the skills to ensure a flawless and long-lasting result. Attention to detail was essential, and Katy provided valuable tips and techniques to achieve outstanding outcomes.
    I really enjoyed the application of block gel gel polish on both fingers and toes. Katy’s expertise shone through as she demonstrated the precise techniques, allowing us to practise and refine our skills. Katy even shared her knowledge on incorporating nail glitter and rhinestones, bringing that extra touch of glamour to our nail creations.
    Of course, proper removal techniques are just as important as application, and Katy made sure we were adept in handling the removal of gel polish. A gentle and careful approach was emphasised, ensuring our clients’ nails remain healthy and undamaged throughout the process.
    To sum it up, Katy’s Gel Nail Polish training course was nothing short of phenomenal. I left with an abundance of knowledge and practical skills that have elevated my nail treatments to new heights. If you’re looking to excel in the world of gel polish, I wholeheartedly recommend this course.

    I did luxury manicure and pedicure, gel
    Polish, gel extensions and acrylic extensions, in that order. For anyone who is new to nails I would recommend that order as it helps with your understanding as you progress. I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed every part of the courses. There is a lot to learn but it’s been a really enjoyable experience.

    Again Rebekah was fantastic!!
    All round superstar. She trains well and we just have a great time, she doesn’t apply pressure, she helps when needed but can gage when you are doing and overlooks when needed and it’s not stood over your shoulder constantly. She is fun, and make the learning so much more enjoyable.

  • Great Course - Brilliant Instructor

    I’ve attended 3x nail related courses at the Beauty Academy and I was really impressed with the gel polish and builder gel in a bottle course I’ve been at for the last 2 days – Clare was a brilliant instructor: knowledgable, experienced, encouraging, approachable and really invested in our success. I really recommend this provider.
