About me...

I began my journey back in 2000 where I studied and completed my NVQ Level 2 Beauty Therapy Qualification. I knew instantly nails were my passion, and I've never looked back! 

​

Eager and excited to start my new career, I was lucky enough to get a junior nail tech position at my local nail salon. It was there I was introduced to CND, an award winning nail care brand and global leader in the nail industry. and the brand I continue to use today.

 

I went on and did all my training with CND and achieved my CND Masters Qualification back in 2002. I've also trained with other big brands such as Fake Bake and Nouveau Lashes, but nails are my passion and my main focus.

 

Just before my 21st birthday, I became the proud owner of the salon I worked in. It was a very proud moment in my life, and a huge learning curve for me. As time went on, we won 'Best Nail Salon' in my local area, which was voted for by the general public, and something I was extremely honoured to have received. 

 

After almost 20 years of industry experience, I decided it was the time to pass on my skills and knowledge so in 2021 I studied and achieved my Level 3 Award in Education Qualification. Since then I've had the pleasure of teaching and helping many students start a career in the nail industry. My aim is to build your confidence and give you all the skills and knowledge to take to you to the top of your nail game!

 

Earlier this year (2024) I had the privilege and honour to train with some of the most elite in our industry at CND Bootcamp here in the UK. It was there I gained my CND Educator Ambassador title and fulfilled one of my long term career goals, which was to work alongside and represent CND.

 

My role as a CND Educator Ambassador is to set you on the right path to becoming a successful nail professional by giving you the skills, knowledge and confidence to get you started in this amazing industry.

STUDENT REVIEWS

_edited.jpg
"I studied the gel manicure course with Gemma, she was very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. I learned so much and the fact it was 1:1 was really helpful and something that isn’t normally offered. I could not have wished for anything more from an educator, would definitely recommend doing a course with Gemma and look forward to more training in the future."
