  My daughter went on a confidence nails workshop where she was apart of a small group of children around the same age. This course wasnt just designed for girls to paint nails but it was to learn professionalism and standards, to grow in confidence and independence alongside great mentorship and from a business owner who is passionate about the future of our children within the community. Honestly only if the course was over 5 days my daughter enjoyed it so much. The spark in her eyes was just lovely to see. I think the workshop has a wonderful benefit and learning real skills and standards, seeing that it can be done, with confidence knowing that you can do it too! Really really great workshop and can't thank hayley enough for doing this out of her own time and resources.

  My daughter has recently finished a confidence building course and she really enjoyed it. My daughter came away more confident in her abilities and came away really happy. I am so grateful she got the chance to join the course.

  I've just recently completed my beginners nail course with Hayley and I can honestly say it was the best experience. (I'd do it all over again) It was exactly what I was expecting: a very practical and focused learning experience with great content, detailed french techniques and full kit provided. The professionalism and guidance given to me by Hayley throughout the course and after has been incredible! If you're looking to start a journey within the nail industry or even wanting to gain more advanced knowledge for nails, I would highly recommend Hayley Shepley's Education. It will be worth every penny!! Thank you for giving me the best experience 🥰

  Excellent nail technician and a pleasure to sit with. Hayley is a total professional, any design done free hand, can match an outfit to your nails, can advise a different design for any occasion, her ideas are mind blowing.... even 'holiday' nails too! I have never seen my design on anyone else, even on a cruise of over 3 thousand people, yet i'm always asked who has done them. To say a single mum, with a busy workload & trains others can make your appointment a pleasure is nothing short of an achievement, long may she reign! And thank you for every time, design and the laughs we have. ❤️
