Testimonials
Reviews from happy students who attended Top Talons Nail and Beauty Courses
I came to Too Talons after not enjoying my current job very much. I always had an interest in nails & beauty and the reviews for Top Talons were so good I couldn’t resist looking into it.
I’ve learned so much and knowing I can go back there with any questions or if I need help really puts my mind at ease. It’s a really relaxed atmosphere because everyone who’s there wants to learn. I made friends who I share my work with now!
After I passed the course I am now working as a qualified nail tech in the area of Aston in Sheffield.
The team at Top Talons were absolutely amazing and you can bet I’ll be booking onto other courses soon!
Thank you!
