Hi, I'm Charleigh! founder of Gratia Nail Academy and the person who will be with you every step of your training journey!

I personally deliver every single 1:1 session, so when you train with Gratia, you're getting me - not an assistant, not a stand in and not a random educator. Just dedicated, hands on support from someone who genuinely loves what she does.

I'm fully qualified in gel polish, builder gel, e-file, lash lift & tint, and waxing and I also hold an AET teaching qualification meaning I'm not only skilled in my craft, but trained in how to teach it properly. I spent over a year carefully developing and refining each course to make sure you receive the highest possible standard of education from day one as your success is my goal.

Teaching is honestly my favourite thing. I love sharing everything I've learned along the way; the techniques, the tips, the little tricks that make all the difference.

Watching students go from nervous beginners to confident, skilled technicians is something I will never get tired of. Seeing you succeed is genuinely the best part of my job.

Whether you're dreaming of becoming your own boss, building a flexible income around your family, or simply starting a new chapter you're excited about - I'm here for all of it.

Got a question? Please just ask. I'd love to hear from you!
