Absolutely recommend these guys to anyone. Very helpful in any query you have and delivery of goods within a few days.
I'm currently in the gel course. Generally its a really good course with a lot of information.
There are a few downsides...
They supply the information only on CDs. In this day and age, a lot of people don't have a CD or DVD player. Offering it on a memory stick on even as an MP4 on your confirmation email would have saved me 2 hours of converting them on my laptop.
The CDs are very informative but look like they are from the 80s! The videos need the same walkthroughs but need a newer trainer to show what gel is like in the 2010s. It's very dated.
You get all the supplies, again which is great. But it doesn't look like they offer you another course with the option to not buy the equipment. I'd have to buy the nail trainer and the lamp etc... It would be great to be able to talk to someone to see if they can offer separate things for different courses, levels of knowledge and ask me what I've already got.
Lastly, I've paid over £500 for this course just to look at the multiple choice exam for it to have lots of grammar mistakes, Styling errors, spelling mistakes and miss match of questions to sections in the book. Which makes it really difficult to understand if I'm ticking the correct box or even looking at the right page.
That being said I am learning a lot and look forward to becoming a trained gel technician.
I am delighted with the nail foil glue I purchased, it works brilliantly!!!!! Great value for money. My order arrived very quickly and well packaged. I highly recommend using Essential Nails.
I have just purchased Complete Nail Technician Course. It is really amazing! Fully equipped with tools, dvds and books to study at home, at your own pace. The staff is really helpful while buying on the phone.
I would really recommend Essential Nail to everyone :-)
Quick delivery. Only downside is the cost of delivery. It’s £5.50 (I think) for anything you order which is a bit steep. But my order did come quickly.
Lovely products and very quick delivery. Gelaze Gel polish is very hard wearing and has a great range of colours. I love my angel collection, it looks stunning over different colours.
I did a gel nail course and was passed and given a diploma.but the quality of nails that I produced was not up to standards.I should not have been passed
Good quality items. Fast and efficient service. Reasonable prices. Helpful when contacting them.
Essential nails products are beautiful & always give a fantastic end result, so many creations can be made. The staff are very helpful & supportive to students too
very excellent straight forward friendly helpful service and they deserve 5 stars from me for all there hard work i would highly recomend to others
I have been buying products from them for 7 years. Excellent products and service, always.
So I requested a longer payment plan for the Acrylic Course because the monthly payments over 4 months was a tad over budget for my own personal money situation. Very quickly received this in the post and sent back and with immediate effect the kit was sent out to me.
The staff are very quick to reply to emails and calls and everything is made very simple. I’ve had no urgency to complete and send back anything yet and I’m into my first month. This is great for me because I’m doing it alongside my full time job. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone that wants to start a new career or extend their passion for nails as it already has completely changed my life.
I love all of the products that essential nails sell this is now the only gel polish that I will buy. The customer service is so supportive with any question
Materials and tools are great & high quality. Easy to use and instructions are clear. The website I'd really easy to use and the products are easy to order. Delivery is so quick it's brilliant. Staff have been very helpful and friendly. It's been a pleasure all round.
Everything ok, quick delivery, good product.
Going to order again!
Very nice and cooperative firm. The CEO is very quick in replying your mails and answering your questions or following up the purchases order.
Product is perfect, unique and authentic produced with your own brand logo.
The order was placed over the phone and the representative was very polite and helpful. The order was received a few days later, which allowed me to continue my course. Great service all round.
Fast delivery, quality products. I would highly recommend and I will use again.
