I've been getting my nails done by Chelsea for nearly 2 year now, and I couldn't be happier! She's not only incredibly talented but also such a kind and lovely person to be around. The attention to detail and quality of her work is consistently amazing - my nails always look flawless and last for weeks! Whether I want something simple or a more intricate design, she delivers every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch nail tech who truly cares about her clients.

Can't recommend The Nail School enough! The studio has such a great atmosphere, and all the girls are absolutely lovely. I've been going for 6 years now, and Chelsea is amazing-so kind, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable about everything nails! She tailors the products to suit what's best for you, which makes such a difference. Chelsea is a true creative nail artist and always open to trying something new if you're up for it, but also brilliant at recreating any designs or ideas you bring her.

Super friendly nail tech & educator. I came to Chelsea for some masterclasses and mentoring sessions a few months after completing a 3.5-day course at another academy. Chelsea is super easy to talk to and very approachable. She's also very clued up with product safety and allergens and likes to explore various brands of nail products and encourages her students to do the same.

I did a Gel nail course and loved every second of it. Chelsea made me feel relaxed and comfortable and was so patient with me throughout each step. I used tools I have never used before and learned new techniques and Chelsea gave me constant reassurance I was doing everything correct, which helped me with my confidence. The ongoing support after I have passed has also been amazing. I cannot wait for my next step, I could not recommend The Nail School enough, I will 100% be back to learn more techniques in my journey to becoming a nail artist!

Have been getting my nails done for almost 2 years with Chelsea and couldnt imagine going anywhere else to get my nails done! Chelsea is super helpful in helping me decide the best colours and designs (otherwise i'd always go for a pink!!!). I always get the loveliest compliments when I have my nails done, so much so that now my sister and cousin now go to Chelsea as well for their nails. Chelsea is really lovely, always great to have a catch up and shows great attention to detail. 💓💓

I recently completed the master nail course at the nail school with the amazingly talented Chelsea. I have learned so much in just one week and have now qualified in mani/pedi, gel, BIAB and acrylic. The confidence I have gained already is all down to how this course was taught, Chelsea is thorough and patient with so much experience and i'd recommend to anyone who is thinking of starting up a career in nails, I am a complete beginner yet still feel so ready to start my journey! Thank you so much 🙏

I completed a gel & builder gel training course with Chelsea and cannot recommend The Nail School enough! Really informative trainers with lots of industry experience, calm and comfortable environment to train in, lots of opportunities to practice and ask questions and it doesn't stop there with lots of support afterwards too. If you're thinking about doing a nail course - go for it, and use the nail school as your provider! Couldn't have asked for a better experience ☺️

About The Nail School

The Nail School is a nail salon and training academy based in Manchester, holding a strong customer rating. The consistent score across a range of clients and students reflects a steady pattern of positive experiences rather than a single outlier result. Returning clients mention the calm, welcoming atmosphere and note that nail results regularly draw compliments. A recurring theme across reviews is the level of product knowledge on offer, particularly around ingredient safety and allergen awareness, which clients find reassuring. The salon is also noted for helping clients choose colours and designs suited to their preferences. On the training side, customers who have completed courses describe a structured, patient teaching approach covering gel, builder gel in a bottle, acrylic, and manicure and pedicure techniques. Those who have attended both initial courses and follow-up mentoring sessions highlight the approachable, thorough style of instruction and the practical opportunities to ask questions and build confidence. Services appear to span both nail treatments for regular clients and professional training courses, including masterclasses and mentoring. The salon is open Tuesday through Saturday, with extended evening hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Saturday hours are limited to the morning. Booking ahead is advisable given the dual salon and academy offer.
