“Your course has met and exceeded my expectations, and although here in the UK any training we undertake has to be accredited by the professional bodies (we don't have state boards here), I was able to complete it and get insured by already having a pedicure certificate and using yours as continued professional development. I now have 23 new clients booked...and I can't wait to get them feeling comfortable and rebooked! Thank you for giving my business a serious lift!”

“Thank you so much for this wonderful course. I have learned so many new techniques and time saving tips. There was more information in this course regarding pedicures than anything I was taught while going to school for my nail license. Thank you Lori!”

“I found you while going to Cosmetology School 5 years ago. I am amazed with all the training videos. My school only touched on the basics and your videos have added so much knowledge. The course exceeds my expectations. Our clientele is older and your course is spot on for their issues. I have to tell you that so far, (going on 71 in a few days) my favorite module was The Ergonomics Module.”
