Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a full range of nail and beauty courses, including nail technician training, gel and acrylic extensions, nail art, manicure and pedicure, and beauty therapy. Courses are available in person at our London academy and online, plus short workshops for those looking to quickly learn specific skills.

Yes — Majestic Beauty & Nail Academy is fully accredited by ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists), one of the UK's leading professional bodies for beauty therapy. This means your qualification is nationally recognised and allows you to obtain professional insurance to practise as a nail technician or beauty therapist.

Absolutely. Many of our students start with no prior experience. Our beginner courses are designed to take you from the basics nail preparation, structure, and hygiene all the way to a job-ready standard. No prior knowledge or qualifications are required to enrol.

No previous experience is needed for our beginner courses. We teach everything from scratch — nail anatomy, hygiene and safety, product knowledge, and hands-on application techniques. Many of our students have never touched a nail file before their first class, and they leave fully certified and confident.

Our in-person courses are held at our London academy and include hands-on practical training with live models, direct feedback from your tutor, and full use of our professional salon equipment. Online courses are self-paced and include video tutorials, written materials, and tutor support — ideal if you cannot travel to London or need a flexible schedule. Both formats lead to the same ABT-accredited qualification.

Yes. Our short workshops are typically one or two days and focus on a specific skill, such as nail art, gel extensions, or a particular technique. They are perfect if you are already a qualified nail technician looking to upskill, or if you want to explore a topic before committing to a full course.

We keep our classes small — 4 to 6 students maximum. This means you get genuine one-to-one attention from your tutor throughout the entire course. Your technique is watched, corrected, and refined in real time, not overlooked in a crowded classroom.

Course fees vary by course and include tuition, a full professional student kit, a training manual, and an ABT-accredited certificate upon completion. In-person courses also include the use of all professional equipment during training. Please check the individual course pages or contact us for a full breakdown of what is included.

BIAB stands for Builder in a Bottle — a flexible, strong builder gel that has become one of the most popular nail systems in the UK. We offer a dedicated BIAB course using Astonishing Nails BIAB products, teaching you the correct prep, application, and removal techniques. The course is suitable for beginners and qualified techs looking to add BIAB to their services.

Gel is a light, flexible product cured under a UV or LED lamp — great for natural-looking nails. Acrylic is created by mixing liquid monomer with powder — it is strong, durable, and ideal for extensions and sculpting. BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) sits somewhere between the two — it is a builder gel applied from a bottle that provides strength and flexibility with a more natural finish. We offer courses in all three systems so you can decide which suits your career goals.

Course prices vary depending on the system and length of training. All course fees include your tuition, full professional kit, training manual, and ABT-accredited certification. Please visit our courses page for current pricing or DM us on Instagram for more information. We occasionally run promotions and early-bird offers for upcoming course dates.

Please contact us directly to discuss payment options. We want training to be accessible and are happy to discuss flexible arrangements where possible.

Yes — and this is something we are really proud of. Every student receives ongoing support through WhatsApp and email after their course. Whether you have a question three weeks or three months later, we are here to help. We also offer business startup guidance and marketing advice to help you build a successful nail career, not just pass a course.
