Hi, I'm Emily.
My full name is Emily-Robyn Horner and I have been in the Nail and Beauty Industry for over 10 years. I am a Self-Employed Nail Technician in Manchester who has come from a tiny town with no clients to a fully booked diary and a 3 month waiting list. I have worked with some of the best names in the industry, I have been trained in both UK standard nails and Russian Manicure. I constantly strive to be the best I can be at my job, and I understand how frustrating it is to want to be good at something SO much, but not being able to figure out how to do it. That is where my masterclass was born.
I specialise in both Gel and Acrylic and I offer all types of Nail Artistry. I am the definition of a Nail Artist. I love my job and I cant wait to continue growing and improving my skills even more - whilst teaching you what I learn along the way!
