About Gillian
Gillian is a professional Master Nail technician and private trainer to aspiring nail techs. She has been in the nail industry for over 10 years, with 8 of those dedicated to training others – and she still loves every moment of it!
Her training academy runs in Essex, where she supports and teaches students who are beginning or developing their nail careers.
She first became a nail technician because of the creativity (which you can see throughout her work), the people, and the flexible hours that suited family life. A sociable and passionate person, Gillian loves meeting new people, training the next generation of nail technicians, and creating beautiful nails in the process.
Her passion for nails and teaching and ensuring her skill level remains current and relevant is what sets her apart from other educators. She holds various nail qualifications as well as a Level 4 NVQ in Training & Education, which allows her to deliver well-structured, engaging, and supportive classes for her students.
The reason she decided to take up teaching goes back to her own college tutor (thanks, Charlotte!) who recognised her talent and encouraged her to gain her teaching qualification in 2017.
Since then, Gillian hasn’t looked back – enjoying teaching just as much as creating stunning nail designs.
She looks forward to expanding her classes in Essex, with 1-to-1s, groups, online and in-person training, inspiring the next wave of nail professionals.
