About Linda J Hill

"I believe that nobody knows it all and so I continually strive to
improve my knowledge on products, skills, techniques and trends."

I'm passionate about the nail industry and educating. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to students and helping them to achieve their goals. I love nail art but am a structure junkie at heart. I combine training and creativity to develop beautiful nails for clients and quality education for students.

​

I started competing in 2014 and have a number of awards and competition wins under my belt, although not naturally competitive I feel I've achieved a lot in a small space of time. I am now also a trusted  nail competition judge.

 

I offer training classes in a number techniques, that include art, structure and competition training.

 

My  work has been featured in popular fashion and nail industry magazines and I am proud of the standard I have set for myself and continue to achieve.

 

I believe that nobody knows it all and so I continually strive to  improve my knowledge on products, skills, techniques and trends. I pride myself on my own personal development, travelling hundreds of miles to achieve my goals, meaning that my clients have the latest trend on their nails and students are learning the newest techniques and skills.

 

I am pleased to have been one of Gemma Lambert's hand picked educators for 'The Nail Team' for the past two years.

 

I am now proud to say I am an independent educator.
