This morning I had the most amazing 1-1 mentoring session with Gem and I honestly can't recommend her enough! We covered everything from nail prep and builder gel application to rebalancing, and every single part of the session was so informative. Gem is incredibly knowledgeable and explains everything in such a clear, detailed way - she made sure I understood not just the techniques, but the reasons behind them too. What really stood out to me was how inspiring she is. You can feel her passion for the industry in everything she says and does. She was so patient, encouraging, and supportive throughout the whole session, giving me constructive feedback and little tips that made such a difference. I came away feeling so motivated, confident, and genuinely excited to keep learning and improving. Gem is such a talented educator and a true inspiration - if you're a nail tech thinking about mentoring, this is your sign to book in with her!

I have been a client of Gemma's for many years and can thoroughly recommend her. Her studio is warm, welcoming and spotless. I have plexigel (BIAB) nails, long lasting and really hard wearing plus gentle on the natural nail

I have been going to Gemma for a few years now and can honestly say there is nothing this lady does not know about nails. She is a master of her trade, she will magic a beautiful set of nails whatever canvass she is working off be it short nails, uneven nails, etc. Gemma has a solution. If you want to have a great set of nails, done professionally with the best products (ie. no nasties) then Gemma is the person to go to.

I've been going to Gem for my nails since March 2023. As a qualified beauty therapist myself, I'm rather picky when it comes to letting someone else do my nails but Gem does a fantastic job, is a super person and very professional. I highly recommend her.🤩

I attended a 1-1 course today. Gemma is a wonderful teacher, I was put at ease straight away and she was very supportive. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to expand their skill set. The CND products are amazing, lovely to work with and there are so many beautiful colour choices. Thank you Gemma for an enjoyable and knowledgeable day.

I have been getting my nails done by Gemma for 12 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else! She is a complete professional, super friendly and you can see how passionate she is about what she does. I have recommended Gemma to friends and they are always really pleased with her work too. 5 stars isn't enough!
