THE BESPOKE KIT

"I really enjoyed the Gel Manicure + Pedicure course because it was a very calm and professional environment. Learning from professional nail techs felt genuine because I could tell they loved what they were doing, and enjoyed giving us their own little tips and tricks to make the treatments run smoothly. I’ve wanted to be a nail tech forever and this felt like a very good way to get into the industry without any stress."

Emma

“Having the opportunity to go from front of house to nail tech was absolutely seamless thanks to the academy! It’s a super fun 4 weeks that left me with more knowledge and experience than I could have ever imagined. It’s not only a place to discover your passion, but also to make friends and be creative.”

Tai

“I think the best thing Shoreditch Nails Academy gives you is the chance to train within a salon environment with educators who also work in the industry. In this course you get to train with Tina our founder who will tell you about how she started the business, and the best part is you get to interview with Shoreditch Nails”

Maddy

“The Academy was so much fun, the course runs every Sunday for a month so it was great for me to do it alongside Uni.”

Maddy

“I completed the Academy course in only 4 days across out of the month, and I’m now working as a senior nail technician. This course really helped me to unlock my creativity and guide my career as a nail artist in London. I’d recommend anyone looking to get qualified should check this workshop out!”
