For an A**** trainer look no further that Kelly Ashby

I have had the pleasure of Kelly teaching me a few courses and I can honestly say she has the unique ability to be able to convey detailed techniques in laymen's terms so the information is easier to absorb and retain.
Kelly has such a positive, nurturing aura it makes you feel at ease almost instantly and she always supports you with any question that you might have and never makes you feel like it's a silly question.
Kelly's support also extends months/years after you've finished your course she truly cares about your continued learning.
I've learnt so so much from Kelly and she is my go-to trainer who I cannot recommend enough. You get knowledge, support, and piece of mind knowing that Kelly will always be there with you whilst you're on your nail journey.

I cannot recommend Kelly enough!

I cannot recommend Kelly enough! Her training, attention to detail, and priority of nail health education is outstanding. Kelly provides detailed demonstrations of each learned technique with easy to follow instruction, providing one to one feedback throughout. Not only that but she has been a trusted source of support throughout my journey as a nail technician. At 34 and after being a teacher for 10 years, I was nervous to change career paths, but Kelly was so welcoming and reassuring and ignited a passion in me for all things nails! Kelly’s patient and encouraging approach to education is outstanding and if you are on the fence about taking the leap into a new career I can promise you you won’t be disappointed! Forever grateful x

I have done so many of Kelly’s courses and they have all been so informative and fun. I have learnt so much from Kelly which has enabled me to set up my own business and given me confidence to believe in myself. The continued support that is there if needed is invaluable, it’s great to know that Kelly is there if I need help or advice. I would recommend Kelly in a heartbeat to anyone thinking about doing any of her courses, such a calm trainer and nothing is too much trouble.

A+++ training every time!

The training I did with Kelly was absolutely second to none. She is so knowledgeable and wants to pass on as much of this as she can to her students. I have done a number of her courses now and each one was delivered with the same professionalism as the first. Kelly herself is so friendly and encouraging and always there to support her students well after the training ends, I still message her for guidance now, 3 years later! She really did make the start of my nail tech journey the best it could have been. I would highly recommend her academy to anyone looking to start their career in nails or develop their skills further!

Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming

When starting up with my nail training I did all my courses with Kelly. She was a knowledgeable and friendly trainer who was able to put me at ease when I felt nervous.
A lovely studio, and a nice group of us doing the training. I would always go to Kelly in the future for any more training on new products.
