Student Spotlight: Poli’s Journey to Nail Tech Success!
At B-Skill, we’re always inspired by the success stories of our amazing students. Recently, we caught up with Poli, one of our nail technology graduates, to see where her training has taken her. Spoiler alert: it’s a story of growth, confidence, and creativity.
What was your favourite part of the nail qualification, and what areas did you cover?
“I really enjoyed our practical sessions at the academy. Tracy showed us how and why products worked, acted, and reacted the way they did, which really helped me understand the products before trying to use them. I loved practicing the new techniques she taught me and would continue this at home in my spare time until I perfected the techniques.”
“I never thought I would be able to change my career at my age, but B-Skill and the team at the academy helped me do just that. Working in the salon, I was nervous at first, but once I had made it through the initial nerves, I couldn’t be happier. It really doesn’t feel like work when I’m there. Don’t get me wrong, there is hard work involved, such as advertising your services and acquiring new clients, but it’s all worth it.”
Ready to start your own success story?
Poli’s journey shows that it’s never too late to follow your passion and transform your career. At B-Skill, we’re here to provide the skills, support, and confidence you need to achieve your dreams in the beauty industry.

Amy Henderson, Recruitment Officer Runs 5k For Cancer Research UK
Taken From Amy’s Post:
“On Saturday I took part in Liverpool’s Pretty Muddy 5k in support of Cancer Research UK. Thank you for those who donated to my just giving page! It took 3 showers to get completely clean haha! 😂”
Pictured here with Amy’s friend Kim, Amy says she picked this charity because “I have had a few family members suffer with Cancer and also my partners’ family too, so it was for everyone who has ever been affected”.
Excellent achievement Amy and well done from all the team here at B-Skill.
If you’d like to support Amy’s achievement, please donate anything you can by visiting Amy’s Giving Page here.
Once again, well done Amy!
