*Please note: During the course you will give and receive treatments. It is essential that nail extensions and any gel polish are removed from your nails prior to this training day. Some aspects of the luxury treatments will be taught as a tutor demonstration.

This course is structured over one day and runs from 10am – 4pm. We ask students to arrive at 9.45am to ensure a prompt start. You will learn the theory of the treatment firstly, and spend the majority of the day practising your practical skills, with a short break for lunch.

We do not include any kits within our training courses, however we provide all products and tools required to complete the practical training on the day, at the training centre for you to use. We took this approach following student feedback so that students are not tied into specific kits or brands of products as part of their course fee, before they are trained and able to make an informed choice. Our training courses teach the generic treatment techniques and processes, they are not brand specific.

We recommend attending training where you will gain advice about different brands and suppliers to enable you to purchase products from your chosen supplier directly following your training. We do offer selected starter kits available to purchase through our website & supplied directly from the supplier to you by courier.

Manicures are an essential skill for any therapist; all of us want attractive hands but don’t always have the time to maintain them. Manicure is a popular manicure treatment all-year round, especially for brides, before holidays or special occasions. Similarly, pedicures are a great way to provide basic foot care for those on their feet all day, focusing on the skin condition and nail care. 

With a focus on relaxation and working on the condition of skin with massage techniques, luxury services will enhance the treatments that you currently offer and therefore earning you additional money on each treatment you carry out on your clients. As luxury manicure and pedicures are hydrating, nourishing and encourage circulation in the hands and feet, they are especially popular with more mature clients, but these are idyllic treatments for any client that takes pride in the health of their hands and feet.

The treatments are relaxing for clients and offer essential services that are fundamental for all nail technicians working from home or mobile. There is a minimal start-up cost to begin offering treatments and clients return on a monthly basis to maintain the appearance of their hands and feet. It is also a great opportunity to sell retail products to your clients as most clients will want to purchase the products you have used on them.

Our diploma courses are suitable for complete beginners and do not require any prior learning to be able to train with us; many of our students are not yet beauty trained and are looking to start up a business in the industry. We welcome students of all abilities, whether you are looking to learn a new skill from scratch or currently working as a therapist and looking to refresh your knowledge of particular treatments.

You will give and receive treatments as part of this course and so must remove any nail extensions, polish and/or gel polish from finger and toe nails before attending the course. Some aspects of the luxury treatments will be taught as tutor demonstration. No models are required. All products and tools are provided for the training day at the centre when you attend. No kit is required to complete the training day, nor included in the course fee.

On the training day, you only need to bring a hand and bath towel for your personal use, completed enrolment form and cold food for your lunch (e.g. sandwich/salad). Tea & coffee are provided on the day.
