About
The Nail Pro
I've spent over 20 years perfecting nails - now I'm going to help you do the same.
Hi, I'm Mandy - nail technician, qualified educator, and firm believer that you should never have to sit through a bad nail appointment again.
My Story
My story doesn't start with nails. It starts with a redundancy notice.
​
After years working in IT in London, I found myself made redundant... not once, but twice.
The long commutes, the uncertainty, the feeling that my career was always at someone else's mercy, I was done with it.
​
I'd always done my own nails, so I decided to turn that into something. I trained, I qualified, and I opened my own nail bar. Nobody could make me redundant from that.
​
Then in 2007, my son arrived and everything changed again. I closed my nail bar and set up in my conservatory. Honestly...it was perfect.
Nails are one of those rare skills that fit around real life.
​
Over the years I kept pushing myself. I studied for my PTLLS Level 4 teaching qualification — and when I finished, my tutor wrote to tell me he felt I was underutilising my abilities. That letter stuck with me.
Why I'm Here Now
More recently, I ran a PMU clinic where I continued to see the occasional nail client, until nerve compression in my neck forced me to step back from doing nails on others. It was a blow, but it also gave me clarity.
​
I have two decades of tips, tricks, techniques and hard-won knowledge, and I want to pass every bit of it on.
Not to train the next generation of professionals (though I can help with that too - find out more about my mentoring). But to help you... someone who loves their nails, wants them to look amazing, and is tired of paying for disappointing results.
What I Believe
Doing your own nails shouldn't be complicated or intimidating.
With the right guidance, the right products, and someone in your corner who actually knows what they're talking about, you can absolutely master this at home.
​
My mission is to make that possible for you.
