Small groups, four Sundays, real practice time

We keep every class to a maximum of six students, so each application, each brush stroke and each question gets individual attention and close supervision — the safe, unhurried learning environment a complete beginner actually needs.

Spreading the training across four Sundays is a deliberate choice. Between sessions you practise what you've just learned, come back with real questions, and correct your technique while it's still forming — instead of cramming everything into one exhausting block and forgetting half of it by the following week.

What you will learn

By the end of the course you will confidently complete a full gel set to salon standard, with the underlying theory and aftercare knowledge to match.

Mentoring that doesn’t end on graduation day

Unlike many beginner nail courses, ours includes continued guidance after qualification. You’re not just booking four Sundays — you’re joining the CS Nails community, and we stay committed to supporting you as you grow your confidence, your skills and your business. Your accreditation is recognised across the United Kingdom, so wherever you choose to work — at home, in a salon or as a mobile technician — your qualification travels with you. Many graduates begin taking paying clients from home within weeks of finishing, while others rent a desk in an established salon or continue into advanced training.

Online study & private salon training

If Sundays in Omagh don’t suit you, the same curriculum is available as a structured online course you can work through at your own pace. And for salon owners who want to bring their whole team up to the same standard, we offer private on-site training — just get in touch and we’ll build it around your salon.

Personal contact, every time

After your booking we’ll personally contact you with full course details — joining instructions, what to bring on day one, and how to prepare. We believe in clear communication and personal support from the very first step.
