What Our Fantastic Students Say

My name is Kylea Wherry and I decided I wanted to start a career in nails after the birth of my first son, My job as a mental health worker at the time couldn't offer me the flexibility I needed as a new Mum, so I decided I needed to take a different career path and chose Essential Nails.

Deciding to become a nail technician was the best I've ever made, the flexibily of self employment means my first job will always be Mum, which is what I wanted.

I found Essential Nails and took a plunge and enrolled for the Complete Nail Technician Course, which I have since finished, I then did my Maintenance Course and just finished my Acrylic Course. Next courses on the to-do list are the Nail Art Courses. Essential Nails have helped me through it all and given me a new lease of life doing nails, which I find so enjoyable and relaxing which in turn makes my clients enjoy their experience.

I enrolled in the complete course and started with Gel extensions in January 2018. I had never worked on any nails before prior to doing these courses so I didn't know how difficult it would be or how long it would take me.I submitted my work only 8 weeks after starting the course and passed with distinction 38/40. That was the confidence boost I needed and I realised that for the first time ever, I had found something which, not only did I love doing but I was actually good at!

I can't thank Essential Nails enough for this incredible journey!
