Nail training · East Cork

Nail courses in Cork & Midleton

Learn nails properly, in a working studio rather than a hotel function space. Our Midleton training space is fifteen minutes from Carrigtwohill, half an hour from Cork city and easy to reach from Youghal, Cobh and Fermoy — so you can train close to home and start taking clients locally.

Start with manicure and pedicure foundations, or come in at gel polish, BIAB overlays, extensions, e-file or nail art if you already work behind a desk. Courses are taught hands-on with models, and the accreditation route is shown course by course, subject to current approval. Academy-use supplies and consumables are supplied for your training; kits are priced separately.
