Nail courses – nails must be short and natural with no nail varnish.

If you are unable to meet these requirements you must notify us of this at least 7 working days before the course commencement date, as you will be required to bring your own model. If you fail to meet these requirements, a model may be provided at our discretion, and at an additional fee, for which you will be required to pay the full costs. Or you will be removed from the course and any payment made will be non-refundable.
