Testimonials
Reviews from happy students who attended Top Talons Nail and Beauty Courses
Helloooooo :)
Thank you for emailing me, I wanted to let you know I had the best training day with the nicest of people from meeting your team and tutor plus the girls I was training along side.
By far the easiest booking system and so easy to contact before the training with any questions or advice I needed.
The gentleman who I spoke with most, he was so helpful every time I rang even when phoning up to make sure I had the correct address and and making sure I was okay finding the location as I was coming from the Wirral. I would highly recommend and already have done to many other beauty therapists in my area.
Top Talons, my new go to place for training, help or advice :)
Once again thanks you for making my training easy, friendly, relaxed and super helpful.
Much love Taylor xxx
TopTalons were recommended to me by a friend who used them 8 years ago.
I was a little unsure due to distance but I looked through their website to see which courses they provided and what would be better suited to me. The website had a great layout, easy to browse with lots of information provided. After weighing up my options. Even though it would be a 144 mile round trip for me to train there, I was certainly happy travelling to train there, especially after reading other reviews too.
I would certainly recommend Top Talons to anyone looking to do a course. They were very helpful when I booked my course and on the day. They are very friendly, made everyone feel very welcome and it was a great atmosphere to learn in. They provided all information you need and even gave us ideas and tips on profits and promoting business.
I will definitely use them again too and hope to be returning to Top Talons in the very near future to do another course.

I thought from the introduction of the Acrylic Nail course over the phone through to the presentation and practical aspects on the day were excellent and everything was as explained. I was very enthusiastic about learning this technique, and the fact that all the equipment and support offered to learn with couldn’t have been any better I couldn’t have asked for more. I was able to ask lots of questions and try out different techniques, and learn all at once it was fantastic. I was so proud of myself at the end of the day because when I had applied the acrylic to the dummy nails initially it was really thick and a bit uneven, then when I was urged to try on the real nails of my partner something amazing happened and I just seemed to apply it correctly with confidence without struggling like I thought I would.. I was a bag of nerves at first and all of it was made so clear through guidance and demonstration. It just made me want to keep going. I have had a really bad two years and I ended up having the best day I’ve had in ages which was heightened by Linda and her team who made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I had done something really special for myself. In fact all the ladies that helped me on the day were so lovely and I want to thanks all of them now because it’s only through their support and instruction I got the confidence to do my best. I am definitely coming back.

“I have never ever done anything in the beauty industry in my life. Like most girls I have always enjoyed doing my own makeup, having my eyelashes done & being pampered ready for my holidays. I decided to take the plunge and do something different with my life so I booked a group of courses with Top Talons which included Lash Extensions, Lash Lifting & Brow and Lash Tinting not really knowing what I was letting myself in for!
What a life changing decision I made, this was just the start in enabling me to start my own business and start to do something I really really had come to love!
I have since the end of April been on 5 different courses with Top Talons, each one being really in depth and informative. Lauren the trainer is so lovely, friendly & helpful and has years of experience, Howard and Linda are so kind and welcoming & Top Talons is just a great place to learn.
I can’t thank any of you enough!
Jess”
I would highly recommend top talons
I took my first course back in 2015. The staff and trainee was so welcoming, loving and caring. Always made sure that you left exactly knowing what you needed to do.
4 years on I am now qualified in individual, russian and hybrid lashes, plus the lash lift, spray tanning, brow tint and wax and hair weave extensions. I have recently just signed up for the 3 method hair extensions which I’m looking forward to. I have always done my courses with top talons and I also send alot of people to them. I would be lost without the help of Linda and Howard.
I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Top talons for all there help, and training they have given me .

Hi Linda & Howard
I would like to thank you for the all in one manicure & pedicure course it was great being able to do it together & at that great price as once again the course was excellent.
Im sure i’ll be back for more courses soon
Thanks again Julie x” Alison
I attended a manicure course on 12th November 2013. I had previously struggled to find a short course just focusing on natural nails. This course was just perfect. It was a great introduction to manicure and nail polish application in a small group of like minded students. The training environment was professional and friendly with good facilities.
The trainers were very approachable and very clear with their instruction focusing very much on the practical aspects of the manicure although they did go through the technical information and advised on further reading. I am looking forward to adding manicures as an additional service to my existing business. I am already considering their airbrush make up course but will have to save for that one!
I will also be recommending Top Talons to a colleague of mine! Thanks for looking after me on the day! LouiseLouise
