I started where you are.
Nine years ago I took a one-day nail course and left knowing almost nothing. I remember thinking: if I ever figure this out, I’m going to create the training that beginner me actually needed.
That’s what KNA is.
I’m Kelly Griffiths, founder of Kelly’s Nail Academy in Dublin. I’m ITEC, CIBTAC and CIDESCO qualified, I’ve built a 600+ client base, and I’ve trained 50+ students who are now working, earning, and building businesses of their own.
But credentials aren’t what makes KNA different.
I teach in small groups so every student gets real attention. I’m a neurodivergent educator, which means I’ve had to figure out how to explain things clearly and adapt on the spot and that makes me a better teacher. My students don’t just leave with a certificate. They leave confident enough to take clients immediately.
Most of them earn back their course investment within their first 10 to 15 clients.
I also support you after graduation through the KNA Mentorship Hub: weekly content, e-file training, nail art, and business guidance, all in one place.
Because a great nail technician isn’t built in a day. They’re built with the right education, the right support, and someone who actually cares about their success.
