Practice
Hands-on, the way the treatment actually runs
One full day at HBC on Bridge Street: demonstration, then a full set of builder gel overlays on a live model, tutor-led through every step — nail prep, building and shaping the apex, capping the free edge, and curing under UV/LED. You leave able to perform the full treatment, not just describe it.

Insight
Built to earn from, not just to know
Beyond technique: contra-indication screening (nail and skin conditions, product allergies) and safe application practice, pricing and promoting the service, and building repeat custom through regular infills. Your post-course case study gives you photographic evidence to hand to insurers and use in your own marketing.

Frequently asked questions
Entry requirements
We assess every applicant on their potential, not just their paperwork. A Level 2 nail or beauty qualification is preferable but not essential — equivalent industry experience or a working portfolio can be just as valuable. Applicants should be aged 18+ on the first day of the course. Get in touch for a friendly chat about your background.
How long is the course?
