Gel/acrylics are NOT part of this course, this is a professional course to learn how to give a manicure. Acrylics can damage the nails and are a passing trend - by learning a traditional manicure you are caring for your clients nails and your clients will return on a regular basis to keep them looking nice.

Our certification is not brand specific. In some cases you insurance may be invalid if you train with a branded product detailed on your training certificate and you then change to another brand. This also allows us to offer our training courses at a lower cost allowing you to spend what is right for you on the necessary products rather than buying unnecessary and costly equipment.

Your tutor will advise you if a kit is available for your course, when confirming your booking. Some kits may require payment in advance and other may be available for purchase on the training day.
