The Beautiful Business Opportunity for Women



It’s a fact that women are investing more time and money than ever before on creating the perfect talons. This trend has sparked the massive growth of nail bars, nail services in hair and beauty salons, retail products for home use and people taking up nails and nail-art as a profession.



Whatever your interest in nails, Home Learn from Essential Nails is the perfect concept. Home Learn allows women to train and gain a recognised qualification with expert tuition from three times UK Nail Art Champion, Gina Wallace. Furthermore, you can learn at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home.



Home Learn – It’s Perfect For You!



Unlike college-based courses there are no time restrictions on completing the programme. With Home Learn, you have the flexibility and freedom to learn at your own pace, and if you don’t understand a particular aspect of the course you can simply keep going back over the video to try again until you have mastered it.



Business Opportunity, Social Opportunity Or Hobby?



Home Learn not only presents women with the opportunity learn a new hobby, it’s also perfect for women at home or with families who are looking for a flexible career opportunity, or secondary income. With nail services typically costing up to £50 for extensions, it’s a great way of turning a hobby into a serious money making opportunity! Additionally, as a qualified technician, Home Learn can also be a fantastic way to meet new people and expand your social interests.



The Business In A Box



There are a variety of courses available from Essential Nails, covering popular extension systems such as Acrylic, Gel, Fibreglass or even Airbrushing. The ‘Home Learn’ kit contains everything you need to become a qualified professional including a detailed instruction video, a reference manual, the unique Nail Trainer and a full range of products.



When successful, a certificate is issued recording the student’s achievement and qualification as a professional nail technician. It is then possible to gain employment in a salon, work on a freelance basis or merely practise a newfound hobby on family and friends.
