What were you doing before training?
Worked in customer service on the phones
What inspired you to be Nail Technician?
I was inspired to be a nail technician since I went to beauty college after finishing school. I loved getting my own nails done and watching the process and feeling so refreshed afterwards, but never thought it would be possible for me to get into and actually start myself. I loved the idea of working for yourself and being your own boss and not having to be stuck in the same 9-5 job all of my life.
What was holding you back from training?
The main thing holding me back was the fear of not knowing what to do, starting up social media, learning a new skill and just the overall fear of everything not working out.
Why did you chose to train with By Jessica Morris?
I chose to train with By Jessica Morris mainly because of how amazing her work is, I was looking for someone to train with for a while and everything was either an online course with just a video and it was really hard to find something that seemed like you would get the support to actually start a business and not just learn how to do a set of nails.
What was training like for you?
My training experience was perfect from start to finish, the By Jessica Morris course went into so much detail on not just how to create a set of nails but how to actually start a business from nothing. The kit Jess provided gave me everything I needed to go home and feel confident to set up a nail space and practice with full confidence that I was using the correct tools and equipment safely. The support provided after the course is amazing, you aren’t just left to go home, practice and hope for the best, you have ongoing support after the course, Jess always made time to answer questions and give advice even after I had trained.
Where you are now?
One year in and I’ve build my own home studio where I have a booked up Diary and am soon taking nails full time, I’m fully confident in my work and have learned so much on how to present my business and run my own social media to grow my platform and client base, it is genuinely the best thing I’ve ever done.
What have you achieved or are most proud of since qualifying?
Since qualifying I have been recognised for the awards of nail technician of the year 2025, HBA rising star award and best new talent 2025, this was such a proud moment in my nail career
What are your Plans for the future?
My plans for the future are to take on nails as my full time career and be fully booked and hopefully inspire people to do the same as it’s definitely the best thing I’ve ever done!

Maisie
I was already previously trained by someone else and came to Jess for a bit more knowledge and to help get more confident and quicker in my work. Jess is lovely and so full of knowledge. Helped me pick up my speed with doing infills and taught me tips and tricks I wasn’t taught in my original training. Definitely worth doing as an extra bit of training to get your confidence up 💖

Georgia
Training with Jess was by far the best decision I made and has set me up in such a good stead for my nail career. I chose the ultimate one day course and although it was a little more money, I got her undivided time and attention to allow me to really develop and learn everything that I needed to. No question was too big or too small for Jess. She made me feel so welcome and at ease and I left feeling ready to start 🫶🏻 Jess provided me with absolutely everything I needed in my kit, including a helpful guide which I still look back at now if I’m stuck! I was put into the graduates whastapp group and am able to ask Jess and the girls for any tips, tricks and advice whenever I need it. I couldn’t recommend Jess and her courses enough!

You're so lovely, friendly & offer a welcoming atmosphere. I really recommend taking Jess's training courses, you won't regret it! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Emily
I trained with Jessica back in August for gel polish and builder gel and it was the best decision I have ever made! The kit was perfect and had everything I needed to start out. Jessica is so so lovely and the way she teaches the course is perfect! The demonstrations really help with understanding the process. I honestly can’t thank Jess enough as just 5 months later, I am a full time self employed nail tech working in a busy recognised beauty salon!
