I live in stoke on trent and I want to become a nail technician and I woundered if anyone out there has any advise they could give me. I don't drive at the moment but am in the process of learning. I want to go into full time training whether it be college based or apprenteship.
Thanks

I started my education at a local technical school while I was in high school. Once you get enrolled and have a student ID, you can attend trade shows and classes. I went for my full cosmetology license, so I could do hair, skin, and nails. I highly reccomend that, because sitting at a desk doing nails and pedicures all day can be really boring. It's nice to move around.
Buy books on the subject first, before you take the class. You don't make a whole lot of money, and setting up a clientelle is hard at first. You do a whole lot of sitting. Also, check your area's licensure requirements to see how much time you'll have to invest in your education.

you can learn and pass all exams to become fully qualified at the carlton beauty institute in Windsor within 4 days, but need to return to do your NVQ at a later date.
It's a bit far, but you could spend 4 days in windsor and it's lovely, the beauty institute directly faces windsor castle.

i think you go to college and then get a job simple as that, or set up on your own, costs about 2k i think and you become fully qualified to what level i dont know! good luck, check with your local college!

Doesn't it just involve being accurate with a hammer?
