The Martin Academy of Gel Nails has launched in Galway to meet the growing demand for nail technicians in the West of Ireland.  The Martin Academy of Gel Nails has launched in Galway to meet the growing demand for nail technicians in the West of Ireland. The business is the brainchild of beautician/business owner Naoise Martin who has set up the academy because she was having difficulty finding suitably qualified staff for her own salon.

The demand for beautiful nails is bigger than ever. “Gel nail popularity has grown over the years, so much so that a set of gel nails / 2-3 week manicure has become a must have fashion accessory”, due to this the nail business is booming.

Naoise is well qualified to train others as she has more than 16 years' experience working as
a nail technician. "I am focused on attention to detail and passionate about perfection. I will
be providing advice on all aspects of gel nail application and also the right products to use
to get started in the nail business. It is essential to use the correct products to ensure that
customers get the best and most long lasting result."

The course will run over four Sundays and there will be a practical exam at the end of the
term. The added value is the central “West of Ireland” location on the hub of Galway City
allowing people the opportunity to train in a location that is convenient to them, and not
have   the   hassle   of   travelling   to   Dublin   and   dealing   with   the   unnecessary   travel   and accommodation costs.

Naoise   Martin   says   the   nail   business   is   certainly   a   growing industry.   "There   are   great opportunities   for   people   to   make   some   extra   money,   or   make   a   career   out   of   nails.

Something that suits a lot of people is the fact you can work from home. If someone has a
flair for nails, they could make a great income because the demand is there. Something
that must be emphasised is that you do not need to be a qualified beautician to become a
nail technician, it is completely separate to other beauty treatments."

Spaces   are   limited.   Contact   the   Martin   academy   on  091-510425  or themartinaceademy@gmail.com
