The Studio Education

Home to high standard nail courses designed for COMPLETE beginners. From two passionate salon owners & educators, who love what they do. Let's see if we're the right fit below.

Welcome to you,

Being a nail technician, salon owner and educator is something we are so passionate about. The Studio, salon & academy, is a family run business founded by Kat & Nyah-Anais Mother & Daughter which was born with so much love, passion & happiness. The opportunities it has bought us makes us feel so fulfilled to be able to share this with others. We are so excited about what could come for you if you take that step.

It's scary doing something new, we have felt this so many times but the saying 'good things happen outside of your comfort zone' is so true. That's why we feel so privileged to help people to go after what they want and do it with confidence. We aren't just your educators but we are your biggest fan and your support system. We've ploughed all our knowledge, experience and skills to ensure these courses are going to set you up for success. Literally blood, sweat and tears which is paying off week in, week out through our student success'.

If you've found yourself here, we truly believe it's for a reason and we look forward to potentially welcoming you in. Let's see what the art of the possible is together.

Ultimate Nail Tech Qualification

Thinking about becoming a nail tech?

Everything you need to become a nail technician

We know starting something new can feel daunting and a big decision.

Maybe you've been doing your own nails for years. Maybe you've never picked up a nail file. Maybe you've been thinking “I'd love to do this” for ages but haven't quite had the confidence to take that first step.

That's exactly why we created this course.

Our Ultimate Nail Tech Qualification in Derby is designed for complete beginners who want to learn properly, build their confidence and feel ready to start taking clients.

It's not just about teaching you how to do nails. We want to give you the skills, knowledge and support to actually start your journey as a nail technician.

You'll learn gel polish, builder gel and e-file across our 3 day structured training programme, with the guidance and support of experienced salon owners and educators.

No previous experience needed. Just come ready to learn.
