Abbie Redburne
Hi, I’m Abbie – your ADHD chatterbox. What makes me a unique trainer is that I truly get it. Being ADHD myself, I understand how overwhelming new challenges can feel, while still valuing professionalism and embracing your personality. I’ve built a client base that matches my energy (and a bit of chaos!), and I want to help others do the same. For me, the nail industry is about more than beauty - it’s creativity, confidence, and a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves.
Amy Bearman
Hi, I’m Amy and I have over 10 years’ experience as a nail technician and I have had a passion for nail art since I was a child. I specialise in sculpted acrylic extensions and gel polish manicures, and last year I trained in builder gel with Michelle Thompson – the training manager at Pure Nails. I am focused on safely creating long lasting enhancements while maintaining natural nail health, and this is at the forefront of my teaching.
