Who we are

Welcome to Nina Lewis Beauty Academy, a highly rated professional beauty training centre in West London specialising in Nail Technology and Make-Up education.

Founded by award-winning nail artist and media lecturer Nina Lewis, the Academy grew from Nina’s passion for the beauty industry and her desire to pass on the professional skills, knowledge and experience she has gained throughout her career.

With decades of industry experience, Nina has worked in prestigious environments including Harrods and Charles Worthington, as well as across television, media and editorial campaigns. Bringing this real-world experience into the classroom means our students learn much more than techniques — they gain an understanding of the standards, confidence and professionalism required to work successfully within the beauty industry.

Professional Training with a Personal Approach

At Nina Lewis Beauty Academy, we believe beauty education should be practical, inspiring and supportive.

Whether you are completely new to the industry, returning to education, developing your existing skills or dreaming of starting your own beauty business, we want you to leave your training feeling confident in what you can do and excited about where your new skills could take you.

The Academy offers professionally accredited and insurance-approved training through VTCT and ABT, including VTCT Level 2 and Level 3 Nail Technology qualifications.

Our nail courses cover a wide range of professional skills, including basic and advanced manicure and pedicure techniques, acrylic and hard gel nail extensions and creative nail art.

We also offer professional and media make-up training and masterclasses, giving students the opportunity to develop their creativity while learning techniques informed by genuine industry experience.

Learn. Practise. Grow.

We know that everybody learns differently, which is why we aim to create a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, practising their techniques and developing at their own pace.

For us, one of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching a student walk through the door feeling unsure and seeing their confidence grow as they realise what they are capable of.

Our aim isn't simply to help you complete a course. We want to help you develop real practical skills, professional knowledge and the confidence to take your next step — whether that's gaining your first qualification, working professionally within the beauty industry, expanding your existing services or creating a business of your own.

More Than an Academy

Alongside professional training, Nina Lewis Beauty Academy also welcomes clients for manicure and pedicure treatments.

Our treatment services reflect the same standards we teach our students: professionalism, attention to detail, excellent technique and genuine care for every client.

Whether you're joining us to begin a new career, advance your existing skills, discover your creativity or simply enjoy a professional treatment, you'll receive a warm welcome at Nina Lewis Beauty Academy.

Professional training. Real industry experience. Skills for your future.
