Your Teacher, Jess
From Uni Student to Double Business Owner in 5 Years
I started doing my own nails at uni because I genuinely loved it (and okay, salon appointments every few weeks added up). Got qualified & built my client base.
Most courses give you the certificate but leave out the actual business stuff. Like how to fill your books consistently, price without guilt, handle tricky clients, or show up on social media without it feeling forced. You're technically qualified but still figuring it all out alone.
That's why I created The Mani Edit 🤍
It's the training I wish I'd had. Real education that covers both the craft and the confident business owner part. Just honest, practical guidance that actually helps you build something sustainable (and enjoy the process).
I've learned the lessons, made the mistakes, and now I get to help you skip straight over them 🫶🏼
See you inside,

I did my training in July 2025 with Jess and it was a day I will remember forever. Her professionalism and skill is a force to be reckoned with. I took away so much information to practise and build my own business, one I would be proud off🫶🏼

Excellent course, full of handy tips, attention to detail was second to none & the fact support is ongoing is amazing! Couldn't recommend the Mani Edit courses enough. I'm sure the in person are just as amazing!

I started my BIAB nail tech journey in October 2025, The Mani Edit & Jess really stood out to me online when I was look for a course to complete. I could not recommend it more! The Graduates Group Chat is supportive & welcoming too!
