Testimonials
Reviews from happy students who attended Top Talons Nail and Beauty Courses
Thank you for all your training and support on my nail technicians course. I had a great day with all who attended. I also have to say what great value for the money. BRILLIANT!!!
Thanks again. I will be in contact with you shortly as need a little advise on colouring and I would like to purchase more goods from yourself. Thanks again Linda???
Could you also pass on my thanks to the lady who helped with the training, I’m really sorry I’ve forgot their names my memory at the minute is really really bad?? Shelley
Hi Linda/Howard
Just to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed the first part to the complete nail technician course of gel and acrylic and I have been practising lots and getting so much better now.
Everything was explained well and were very patient in a relaxed environment. I’m really looking forward to next weekend where ill continue by learning the manicure and pedicure with gel polish plus the silk and fibreglass.
I’m already scanning through the courses to see what I can do next. Mmmm waxing course I think. Thankyou Stephanie
Just letting you know how much I have enjoyed the 2 nail courses I have attended this year (Manicure and Gel Polish & Acylic & Gel).
Linda,Howard and all the other trainers are friendly and have a lot of patience,nothing is to much trouble.
If you need things explained or need to be shown again they will, as many times as you need.The atmosphere is relaxed which I feel helps with the learning process.Also knowing that if I need any more information or clarification on what they have taught me I can contact them is of great comfort.
For me once I have practised what I have learned I will certainly be looking to book another course. Thank you for an excellent experience. Susan
I did a gel and acrylics course at Top Talons on the same day and it was brilliant, I couldn’t fault them. Not only were they lovely people, they made me feel welcome and they talked the group everything we needed to know before starting and they did brilliant demonstrations.
After reading the reviews before booking the course I knew I wanted to learn at Top Talons but it meant I had to travel 2 hours to get there, but after going there and experiencing it for myself, I was very glad I did as it was well worth the travel. I bought the large kit and was very pleased with it, overall the course was amazing and I will definitely be back to do more.
What was nice of them is that they do also have Tea and Coffee you can help yourself too throughout the whole time there.
Thank you Top Talons! Kiera
Highly recommend. I’ve done the gel polish, acrylic and semi-permanent eyelash course. They are always very helpful and so friendly and welcoming. Look forward to the next courses.  Abbie
I’ve recently completed a gel nail and manicure course. Loved it! Informal and friendly. I was a little concerned as I’m a mature student but no need to worry .. age is no barrier! I’m booked for a waxing course next … cant wait. Rachael
Had a fab day training at Tops Talons, from a complete beginner, I’ve now just started up my own business. Will definitely be back soon for more training! Had patience and could ask anything you liked. Felt completely at ease – Natalie
“Fantastic, informative course with patient tutors (even for beginners like me). Well worth the travel from Birmingham! Thank you Top TalonsÂ
Lauren
Really recommend top talons .. so welcoming and all such lovely people. Will definitely be doing more courses here..thank you, Kirsty
Hi,
Thank you for a great course. I came from near Huddersfield for a one day manicure, pedicure and gel polish course and the trainer was really good and friendly. She was supportive but I didn’t feel like I was being watched!
Had no problems finding the place and would recommend you to other people and if I want to do any in the future.
Thanks again  Julie
Did my gel & acrylic course 26th March. Linda & Howard are so lovely.
I was very nervous at first but Howard made me feel at ease straight away I would highly recommend top talons and can’t wait to do more courses
thank you, Linda & Howard xxxxxxx  Sarajane
I came along and did the one day acrylic and gel course yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed my day. The course was very detailed and Linda, Howard and staff were very knowledgeable. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and everyone was encouraged to work at their own pace. I will definitely be returning to complete other courses here.. Dione
