About Us

In 1997 the Nail Trainer® Practice Hand was born. The brainchild of founding directors John Grace and Dave Simmons, this unique product has been patented worldwide and has revolutionised the way Nail Technicians are trained.

With the Nail Trainer® Hand providing the means to practice, we created unique DVD based training courses that provided an effective alternative to the classroom by providing convenience, unlimited practice and achievement. Now over 4000 people a year learn nails, at home, with Essential Nails.

We’ve listened to the thousands of graduates we’ve trained. They told us they need a wide range of high quality nail products that look good and to work perfectly. They have to be at the right price and they would like to get them from a company they trust – the company that trained them.

Sincerely John and Dave.
