Kelly Ashby Nail Academy
Experienced Nail Educator, specialising in the training & development of Accredited Nail Technicians
A little introduction for anyone new here… 👋🏼
I’m Kelly, founder and educator at Kelly Ashby Nail Academy. I’ve worked within the nail industry for over 27 years and have been teaching for the past 10 years.
My aim has always been to create friendly, relaxed training where nobody feels intimidated or afraid to ask questions. My classes are kept small, with a maximum of four students, so everyone receives plenty of individual guidance and practical support. I also offer private 1-to-1 training for anyone who would prefer completely focused tuition.
Whether you’re taking your very first step into the nail industry or adding new skills to an established business, I want you to leave feeling confident, supported and excited to put everything you’ve learned into practice. 💅🏼
And can we take a moment for my gorgeous new uniform from EMRY? 💖 It looks smart and professional but is so comfortable and flattering to wear - which is exactly what I need for busy days teaching in the academy!
A little behind-the-scenes look at today’s Gel Polish training 💅✨ Learning the correct preparation, application and techniques for beautiful, long-lasting results.
Well done, ladies! 💖
I love keeping my classes small, cosy and relaxed 🤍✨
With a maximum of just 4 students, everyone gets plenty of individual attention, time to practise and the freedom to ask as many questions as they like 💅🏼
No pressure, no huge groups - just a friendly, relaxed learning environment where you can feel comfortable and confident. 🥰

Today I had the pleasure of training Kayleigh in Gel Polish, E-File, and Builder Gel, and I couldn't be prouder of how well she did!
Kayleigh showed real natural talent from the very beginning. She worked with such care, patience, and attention to detail, and her perfectionist approach is exactly what I love to see in my students. She took her time to ensure every step was completed to a high standard, and it really showed in her work.
It was an absolute pleasure to teach someone so dedicated and eager to learn. I can't wait to see how her nail journey continue, she has a very bright future ahead of her. Well done, Kayleigh from all of us here at The Kelly Ashby Nail Academy.

Hi everyone
Here at The Kelly Ashby Nail Academy, we know the nail industry has felt a little overwhelming lately. With all the recent changes, like the TPO ban, brands reformulating products, and a lot of negativity online, it’s easy to feel confused or unsure about what to do next.
That’s exactly why we offer 1-to-1 personalised sessions for qualified nail techs.
If you’re struggling with product choices, application techniques, or things like lifting, we’re here to help guide you through it all with clear, honest advice.
This industry moves fast, and sometimes we all need a bit of extra support and reassurance.
If you’d like some help or just want to feel more confident again, get in touch. We’ve got you.
