I found this course to be quite tricky initially, however with not only one way of creating extensions and with plenty of time to put both into practice throughout the day, I did manage to create multiple styles and shapes using the Gel Extension techniques. I think this is such an important skill to gain as a nail tech, as Nat quite rightly told us, that even if we don’t want to do extensions all the time, if a bride were to approach me wanting her nails done but closer to her day, a nail breaks, being able to repair that broken nail with an extension so they all match will be an excellent service to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed this course.

Cecile was extremely articulate when teaching and very informative and patient with all of my questions. She was so lovely/welcoming and even made one of the beginners feel very confident in her work, she’s very inspiring to look up to as someone quite established in the nail industry. If you are wanting to get started with TGB and train in NZ this is your educator, she is incredible. Thank you Cecile for being so awesome. Can’t wait to come back to the showroom at some point for some products.

I completed the Full Course with Hannah in January & oh my goodness where do I start... She gave me so much knowledge, tips, guidance, support & helped me leave being confident in becoming a nail tech, that I’ve only been dreaming of for years. Hannah is a fantastic at what she does & is a supportive, knowledgeable educator that makes you feel at ease & comfortable & I cannot thank her enough for everything she has taught me. Wish I had done it years ago! Thank you so much Hannah, you have changed my life. Do not hesitate to get booked on, it'll be the best decision of your life & Hannah is the girl for you!!!

I have just completed a one day gel extension course. I joined the course on the last day of the full 3 day course and Sharon integrated me into the group seamlessly, which made me feel comfortable. I have been a nail tech for many years and changed over to the Gel Bottle around 18months ago. I knew I could benefit from the conversion day, which I did, Sharon was able to point out where I could improve my apex shape without making me feel deflated, she was very encouraging and I have come away feeling more confident and knowledgeable. Sharon is friendly, and welcoming, easy to talk to and ask questions, and shared her time equally, a great educator. Thank you so much Sharon x

Just spent a wonderful morning with Hannah completing the Natural Nail BIAB Course, Lovely workspace, social distanced and beautifully clean, felt totally safe even with the cover restrictions. I've been using BIAB for a while using just as a base but this course has taught me how to build the apex with hardly any refining needed, this is a most do course if using BIAB to its best potential. Hannah is a great teacher with very clear instructions in a great environment, I feel so confident now, can't wait to get back to work!!

Natalie was so welcoming and very thorough. The course was delivered professionally but made fun, with a solid playlist! Would 100% return to TGB and Natalie for any future courses

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.
