I've been coming to Natalie for about 1 year now and she is absolutely fantastic at what she does. She's spot on every time and even lets me bring my own sketches for her to recreate. Over the year we've talked a lot about life etc and I recently decided to train with her in Gel and Builder Gel. I cannot express enough how much I learnt in just 2 days. She is incredibly thorough and hasn't missed a beat when it comes to her course manual. Natalie is so kind and caring and this shows throughout your time spent with her. She genuinely wants you to do well and succeed. I cannot recommend her enough for both product services and teaching. She's the best in the business. I'll be back for E-file training in the not too distant future xxx

Natalie is the most loveliest and professional nail tech in Bury. She has an extensive range of colours and the glitter selection is AMAZING! My nails are always beautiful and I get lots of compliments about them. I go with a colour/style in mind, which is always more amazing than I imagined. Not only is Natalie a true professional but now a friend. Highly recommend.

I haven't stopped talking about this course since I completed it. Natalie is such a wonderful teacher and was there every step of the way, no question was too small or silly to ask. I have come away with so much more confidence in myself and my application of my work. I wish I had started this journey sooner, I would remcomend training with Natalie to everyone who is considering starting their nail tech journey. You won't regret it ☺️

Natalie is just the best, nothing is too big or small for her and never too much trouble. She brings all ideas to life, and even knows what I want when I don't. She's creative, a perfectionist and has the steadiest hand, and that's just the nails. I love going to Natalie for a little pamper too and would recommend her to anyone! I always get compliments on my nails and lashes! From day 1 Natalie was professional and welcoming, she started as my nail tech and she is now my friend 😊

I recently completed the Gel and BIAB Nail Technician course with Natalie, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. From start to finish, the course was incredibly informative, hands-on, and tailored to meet the needs of every student. Natalie was professional, approachable, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain every technique thoroughly and patiently answered all of our questions. I loved how the lessons were broken down into easy-to-understand steps, which helped me build both my confidence and skills as a nail technician. The course content was comprehensive, covering everything from the basics of gel application to advanced BIAB techniques, and I feel much more prepared to offer these services to clients. The practical exercises were invaluable, giving me the opportunity to practice under guidance and receive constructive feedback. I also appreciated the personalized attention and the small class size, which ensured that I received one-on-one support throughout the course. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I felt encouraged every step of the way. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their nail technician skills. It's clear that Natalie is passionate about her work and genuinely cares about helping students succeed. Thank you for such a wonderful experience
