Professional nail technician training courses
Whether you are a beginner, starting a new career journey as a nail technician or want to build and develop your existing skills I can help you achieve your potential.
My private nail studio is the perfect place to learn, offering a relaxed, friendly environment, access to a range of products from high end brands and either 1-1 or 2-1 training giving much greater guidance and support than larger classroom style learning environments. It is also easily accessible from Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee.
I work hard to ensure that all courses are high quality, up-to-date and presented in an interesting and enjoyable way. I am also happy to share my personal experience of working in salons and being a self employed nail technician and able to offer continuing support.
Paintbrush Nails Education is a guild accredited nail training centre meaning that you will be able to work professionally as a nail technician and obtain the necessary insurance once you have completed and passed your qualifications with me.
Please note, you must be a member of the guild of beauty therapists to register for these courses. It is simple to become a member though, just visit the website: Beauty Guild Website
