An intimate, intensive course on Lisburn Road

Most beginner nail courses run with four to six students per group. This one doesn’t. With a strict maximum of two students per class, every gel application, every brush stroke and every question is met with full attention.

Lisburn Road is one of Belfast’s most prestigious addresses — beautifully appointed, easy to reach and built for a professional learning atmosphere. You won’t find a calmer, more focused environment to begin your nail career.

Mentoring that doesn’t end on graduation day

You’re not just booking a course — you’re joining the CS Nails community. After qualification, you’ll continue to receive guidance as you build your confidence, your client base and your reputation. Your ABT accreditation is recognised across the entire 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 the course, while others rent a desk in an established salon or continue into advanced training in AcrylGel, Russian Manicure or e-file work.

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.
