THE MANI EDIT

Your Teacher, Jess

From Uni Student to Double Business Owner in 5 Years
‍
‍I started doing my own nails at uni because I genuinely loved it (and okay, salon appointments every few weeks added up). Got qualified & built my client base.
‍
Most courses give you the certificate but leave out the actual business stuff. Like how to fill your books consistently, price without guilt, handle tricky clients, or show up on social media without it feeling forced. You're technically qualified but still figuring it all out alone.
‍
That's why I created The Mani Edit 🤍
‍
It's the training I wish I'd had. Real education that covers both the craft and the confident business owner part. Just honest, practical guidance that actually helps you build something sustainable (and enjoy the process).
‍
I've learned the lessons, made the mistakes, and now I get to help you skip straight over them 🫶🏼
‍
See you inside,
Jess x

A Day I Will Remember For Ever

I did my training in July 2025 with Jess and it was a day I will remember forever. Her professionalism and skill is a force to be reckoned with. I took away so much information to practise and build my own business, one I would be proud off🫶🏼

Benefit From My Journey

From University Student to Multiple Businsesses in 5 years.

Uni Student

What started as a hobby during lockdown quickly turned into a passion and a side hustle. While studying at university, I taught myself nails, practiced every day and fell in love with the creativity and confidence the industry gave me.

Nail Tech

After qualifying and building my own client base, I experienced first hand the highs and lows of being a working nail tech. Everything I teach comes from real salon experience, not just textbooks.
