4.9 stars from 100+ Students
I took the Master Course and loved every moment! The class sizes are small, so you're able to get really thorough instruction on an individual level. The academy has a super chill atmosphere and instructor Emily creates a very welcoming and creative environment which is great if you're somone on the more anxious side like me. Emily is a fabulous teacher and between her encouragement and expertise, your education is in excellent hands. 100% recommend Sunday Nail Academy to anyone looking to learn Gel, Acrylic, and Gel-X.
— Hayley [Master Certified]
Sunday Nails and Beauty taught me the art of nails. Like magic, I feel salon-ready at the end of the course. Emily has great instruction. The feeling among other students was professional and created a great atmosphere. My instructor didn't hover but encouraged me to ask many questions as many times as I needed and answered with patience and humour. I would recommend this course for anyone who is looking for an entry way into being a nail tech. I did the Gel Nail Course and am happy with the results.

I can't say enough good things about my experience at the Sunday Nail Academy. It is a super welcoming and comfortable space. I started off with no experience and the Master Course has taught me everything I needed to feel confident in my abilities, quality of work, and knowledge regarding everything nails!
— Solara [Master Certified]
I honestly couldn't ask for a better experience. Emily is such a wonderful teacher and makes learning so easy and fun. Sunday Nails is such a comfortable space and I would 100% Recommend it as a salon as well as an academy.
— Rosie [Gel + Gel-X Certified]
For me, the Master Course taught me literally everything. I came into the course barely knowing how to use gel polish and by the end I was salon ready! My favourite part about the course is the support you get from the person instructing you, and from everyone in the salon. It’s a super smooth transition from the course to a salon job because of all the business advice and interview tips (it was especially helpful for people like me who knew nothing about the beauty industry).
