Incredible Nail Tech Training

Kelly made the training exceptionally informative and easy to understand throughout. She took time and care to understand where it was we felt our challenges were and areas we struggled with she took time to explain and show us the intricacies of the techniques we were exploring. Kelly demonstrated her knowledge of the industry in a concise way and gave us so many tips and tricks to take with us into our qualified nail tech life.
I am so glad I chose to attend my nail tech courses with Kelly, and will indefinitely be attending future courses with her to improve and add to my skills 💅🏻☺️.

Thank you so much for your support throughout and since, Kelly !

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend!!!

I trained with Kelly on different occasions - gel polish, BIAB, e-file and an online course. Kelly is a great tutor and mentor and really supported me during each of the courses I attended with her. She gives lots of useful hints and tips and knows a lot about the nail industry - sharing her knowledge during the courses to help you get the best out of each course. She has also been available to contact after the courses for additional advice and support. I would highly recommend working with Kelly if you want the best for your learning/career. Thank you again Kelly.

I did training with Kelly for an e file in December and I was really nervous about making the change to this piece of equipment and coming out of my comfort zone! But Kelly made me feel so confident and she really boosted me along the day. She couldn’t be more friendly and approachable. I am now so pleased o made the jump and wish I had done this sooner to be honest. Thank you Kelly xx Sara

Kelly is Incredible!

I cannot recommend Kelly enough,if you are looking to start your nail career! She is so knowledgeable, professional and is super lovely! I have been lucky to do 3 courses with Kelly over the past 2 days, and she has provided me with an in-depth knowledge and understanding which has made me feel confident in beginning my nail career. She prioritises nail health and care and ensures you understand all the common nail contractions to make sure you’re working safely on your clients. She provides detailed demonstrations and is always there to support you when you’re carrying out your first service on each other, and provides you with great feedback. Thankyou so much Kelly, I have thoroughly enjoyed training with you and I look forward to attending more of your courses in the future x

Cannot recommend training with Kelly…

Cannot recommend training with Kelly enough! I did a gel nail course not long before Covid, didn’t get much chance to practice and found I’d forgotten most of it.
I booked a 1-1 refresher and the BIAB course and can honestly say I’ve never come away from a training day feeling so confident and excited to get stuck in! I’ve messaged Kelly a couple of times since and she’s been nothing but lovely and helpful.

First nail course

Kelly is absolutely the best trainer ever!! I have never done anything nail related in my life and decided to choose some course and went with Kelly. Her classes are small and intimate, she makes you feel so welcome and such a nice friendly atmosphere even so that I booked a 2nd course. She also makes the best cups of tea!! I can’t wait to do more training with you, thank you for being so patient and such an amazing teacher.

I recently had the pleasure of training with Kelly Ashby in gel manicure, BIAB natural nails, and full cover tips, and I cannot express how incredible the experience was from the very beginning. Kelly's welcoming demeanor set a positive tone, making the learning environment not only professional but also comfortable.

Throughout the training, Kelly demonstrated a remarkable level of thoroughness, ensuring that every aspect of the techniques was covered comprehensively. Her ability to convey complex information in a clear and understandable manner made the training process highly enjoyable.

Kelly's extensive knowledge in gel manicure, BIAB for natural nails, and full cover tips was evident, and she effortlessly shared practical insights that enhanced my understanding of the craft. I left the training feeling not only equipped with new skills but also inspired by Kelly's expertise and passion for the subject.

Overall, I highly recommend Kelly Ashby for anyone seeking a top-notch training experience in these nail techniques. Her professionalism, welcoming nature, and wealth of knowledge make her an outstanding educator in the field.

Best regards,
Rebecca Porter

Highly recommended

I attended Kelly’s full cover tips course. From the initial point of contact Kelly was very responsive to messages and professional in her replies, the supporting course info was very thorough.
The course itself was well paced and the number of attendees meant Kelly was very hands on. The setting ensured any questions raised could be heard by us all so I left feeling very well armed in respect of practical skills and knowledge.
Throughout the course Kelly was keen to share all she could in respect of her own knowledge and experience to the trainees.
I traveled a distance to attend and would definitely do so again for any future courses. I left feeling confident and happy to add this service to my treatment list.
I highly recommend the hands on, professional and thorough approach Kelly takes so if you’re thinking of booking- don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

I just recently completed a gel polish, e-file and biab course and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Kelly is such an amazing teacher! She makes you feel so relaxed whilst also understanding the importance of the anatomy of the nails to ensure they are always in good health!

I would 100% recommend Kelly!

Kelly's courses are fantastic!

I have done lots of different courses with Kelly- Gel Polish, BIAB, e-File and Nail Art. All have been absolutely amazing! Kelly offers a very professional and welcoming setting to learn. The quality of the courses and what I have taken away from each of them has been so valuable in helping me start my new career in nails! The environment is super inclusive, I've met some lovely people on their journeys on the courses and would definitely go back to Kelly for other upskill/courses in nails without hesitation. Kelly is really genuine and down to earth. You really get the impression that she wants to help you as much as possible so you can leave the course feeling confident. I'll be back!

Excellent course! I attended an Efile nail course with Kelly, it was excellent. Kelly was kind & friendly and very professional. She made the course enjoyable for me and gave lots of advice to take home. Kelly followed up by emailing me all the relevant information I asked for quickly and efficiently. Thank you so much!

Fun, Relaxing and Engaging

Such a lovely 3 days with Kelly during our training course. Such a lovely and relaxed environment to learn in while making the course content fun and engaging. She made sure we were all confident with every single step and I left feeling so much more confident in my skills. I have used all the things I learnt during the first few months of opening my nail business
