It is a Beautiful thing

when a career and a passion come together!

Here's what our students have to say...

When I decided I wanted to pursue a career as a gel nail technician, I asked my nail tech for advice. Being a tech who uses the Amore product and having the Amore courses as well, she pointed me in the direction of A Nail Above The Rest. I went home and immediately looked them up online. I was interested but thought that maybe I wanted a course that was quicker. After looking around at other places and seeing ads claiming "$500 One day course, have your certificate by the end of the day" I realized that in the end you get what you pay for. I signed up with ANAR and didn't look back. I was so happy with the course and how I learned with practice over the 4 months. I loved how Corrine was always available to answer questions about techniques and product. She was a very busy lady but always took the time to answer a text or an email. And she still is! And Becky is so great for that as well and is always so helpful. I love the Amore product as do my clients. It's been almost 4 years since I started my course. I also did 2 art courses and a workshop with ANAR. I love that I'm able to work from home as I've always been a stay at home mom. It gives me the flexibility to work around my family. Nails have turned into such a passion of mine and I'm so happy that it all started with A Nail Above The Rest - Colleen Allaby of CK Nails
