What our students say
We’ve had the privilege of supporting new, returning, and advanced nail techs as they level up their skills, their confidence, and their careers.
Their words speak for themselves, here are just a few reviews that make us proud!
“Recently completed two training courses with Danielle and they were both amazing. The theory was informative and not overwhelming. The practical work felt like it was guided to our individual pace with lots of support from Danielle and the group I was training with. I was not planning on booking the second course but Danielle’s standard of nails and teaching style made it hard to not want to extend my skills and knowledge. Danielle was so welcoming and it felt like the group left feeling like friends! Thank you Danielle”
“I trained with Danielle in May, and have launched my own nail business! Danielle’s support during and after has been amazing. I am returning for a second training course with Danielle to improve my skillset and upgrade my services. Danielle catered to my learning needs during my first training and I have no doubt she will cater the training again for me to ensure I learn in the most efficient way!”
Today I passed a nail course at the nail room Lytham , i was taught by the owner Danielle and I had literally one of the best days of my life , I suffer really bad with adhd and anxiety so I was really nervous , even before I walked into the salon Danielle helped me with messages and made me feel so welcome before I even turned up , when I turned up the salon has just had a refurb and looks out of this world , it was such a calm , warm , lovely place to be Danielle taught me and 3 other girls and honestly I learnt more in a 1 day course than I would of done 2 years in college , she was so patient , kind and just a lovely teacher the stuff I’ve learnt I can’t wait to practice ; I have also booked two other courses which I can’t wait to go back too!!! This salon is THE best salon I have ever been to and if you have her as a nail tech , boss or friend your a lucky person because honestly she deserves recognition for all her hard work she puts into the salon and her courses”
