TGB Academy

I attended the gel polish conversion course in Brighton and had such a fun morning, it’s great going over some of the basics again and renewing my skills - also to learn the TGB way of applying gel polish. Warning : you WILL want to buy everything - the colours are addictive and we also covered how to use the cat eye gels and blooming gel - such great products. The girls (Helena & Helena!) are helpful, approachable and knowledgable. We got our certificates there and then and I left feeling very excited to continue with this brand, all the training videos are available for you to watch again if needed and you’re also added to an academy Facebook group which is also really helpful! Thanks girls I’ll be back soon!

I have recently completed the 3 day full gel bottle course. Throughly enjoyed it and it has built my confidence no end. Beckie was a great educator with immense knowledge to tap into. There were lots of videos with detailed explanations and Beckie on hand to help correct technique as we used the practice hand. She also did a live demonisation for one of the processes which was helpful to see 1st hand. Preen the salon is lovely clean and bright, it was a really pleasant environment to learn. I will definitely return to develop my skills further.

Ewa trained me for beginner gel polish, BIAB and hard gel extensions. She was very thorough, gave us top tips to help create the perfect build and always showed really descriptive drawings to help understand. Knowing the reasons behind why products need to be applied in certain ways was an eye opener and Ewa was really good at teaching this! She is lovely, relaxed and brings an enjoyable time to the classroom! I’m excited to come back for my e-file training asap! Thank you Ewa for a lovely experience and teaching us your incredible knowledge! Katie x

I’ve just completed the Full GelBottle Course with Hannah in Milton Keynes. I thoroughly enjoyed all three days of learning with Hannah. She answered all my questions and gave us lots of tips. My book is full of notes and I will be looking through them. I came in a little bit nervous but I’ve left the course feeling excited for my new venture. Hannah has been keep in contact if we have any questions. She has filled me up with confidence and understanding about the nail industry. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to do the e-file course with you soon.

I Did my training with Sue for the BIAB natural nail course, it was such a great day! I was made to feel welcome straight away by Sue. I loved that there was only a couple of students on the course too, as it made it feel more like a 1-1 training day. Sue has so much knowledge and is so passionate about nails, her work is incredible. I left the course feeling confident and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to start using BIAB. Thank you so much Sue, I will definitely be booking future courses x

I had the pleasure of attending Nat's 3 day TGB course back in Nov/Dec last year. I left with the confidence to practice on friends & family whilst building up my portfolio. I really appreciated all the guidance Nat gave us. The course covered much more than I expected like tips and tricks on how to take photos and also advice on your social media/ branding. I returned to her in the new year for e-file training (what a life saver that is!)

I recently completed a BIAB nail course with Hayley and I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! Hayley is such a knowledgeable, patient, and passionate educator who truly wants her students to succeed. The course was so well-structured. What really stood out was how hands-on the training was. Hayley made sure everyone got individual attention and left feeling confident. She explains everything clearly, shares insider tips, and gives honest, constructive feedback that really helps you improve. The resources provided were fantastic too — clear, detailed, and super helpful for referring back to after the class. I left feeling not only more skilled, but also inspired and excited to take my nail career to the next level.
