Not at all! The Complete Course is suitable for those with absolutely no experience. You just need a passion for nails and a motivation to succeed.

Yes! My 1-1 mentoring is perfect for experienced, certified techs. We focus on whatever techniques you want to learn or level up in, from French manicures to nail art to shaping. When you enquire, leave a note describing what you're looking for, and I'll build a day that's perfect for you.

Gel and Builder Gel courses are limited to just four students per class. Sometimes there are one or two more students in the e-file course. If you prefer 1-1 teaching, I also offer private courses.

Absolutely! I offer loads of 1-1 support, even in group courses. It's still a small class, so you have the opportunity to ask for help and as many questions as you like.

Yes. Ensuring you leave feeling confident to work on paying clients is a priority. All my courses are fully accredited, so you will leave certified. Many students set up their own studio, and becoming successful nail techs running their own businesses soon after training with me. Check out my Google reviews and read about some recent student journeys to see for yourself!

This varies per course - further details can be found on each course page. Gel and builder gel courses include a kit. If you're joining the e-file course, you will need your own e-file and drill bits. I provide links to everything I recommend, as well as a discount code for Lucy Pastorelli when you book.

I only use premium, high-quality products that I would use on myself and my clients. I am also an educator for The Gel Bottle, and swear by their products!

I can be more flexible with dates if you book a private course. Just complete the form, letting me know your availability, and we'll secure a date that works for you. If you definitely want to do a group course, be the first to hear about new course dates by signing up to my newsletter here. I usually release course dates up to 3 months in advance.

There is on-street parking on a few roads near the studio. Details will be provided when you book.

Training in person is definitely most effective - I have had students travel from far and wide and stay in a local hotel or seafront Airbnb for the night. If you need recommendations for accommodation, message me on Instagram. Currently, the only online courses I run are live workshops on Instagram - keep an eye on my page to hear about these. I will be releasing another online course soon, details will be announced soon. If you want to be the first to know AND receive a special offer, join my waitlist here.
