Hi I'm Paula the face behind York Beauty Academy, having just rebranded.

Ive been in the Industry for 26 years and teaching others to perfect their skills for 16 years. All my courses are accredited through ABT Insurance.

Ive taken a different approach this year and decided all courses will either be on a 1-2-1 basis or no larger than 2 students per course.
The reason behind this is to be able to focus on one person at a time and to give them my full attention.

I still work in the industry and own my own very successful salon, which is why I believe i am still current in today's nail business, I believe any Educator should still be behind the desk doing what she loves whilst still enabling others to succeed in today's industry.

With me you will always have onward support whilst trying to get your business of the ground, I even allow students to come in and watch me work.

My phone is always on silent, I only look at it on lunch breaks, my full attention is always on my students to ensure I deliver the best face to face course possible.

My inbox is always open if youd like to enquire about any of my course.

Much love P xx😍
