I love my appointments with Steph! She does an amazing job, is knowledgable with lots of hints and tips to keep my nails healthy and is happy for me to throw all sorts of designs at her which she always brings to life.

100% would recommend doing a course at King’s. Learnt more in a day than 2 years in college really well taught tutor and the staff are really welcoming. I’ve not been in the beauty industry for 10 years and the course has been full of updated information. Couldn’t thank the staff enough for the support before the course during and after!
