Welcome to The Gel Studio where we can make all your nail dreams come true! I'm Louise. Founder, Owner and Nail Technician at The Gel Studio. I am 26 and a fully qualified nail technician in all things gel.

​

I started in the industry back in 2019 and put 100% of my time and effort into learning all about nails with the idea of helping myself grow my natural nails. I have always bitten my nails to an inch of their life, half anxiety and half habit, and I am proud to say I have now also helped many others kick their habit as well as my own.

.

I was a mobile technician for a few months before deciding to relocate to the beautiful seaside town of Lee-on-the-Solent in February 2020 with my family. This was a huge move and this meant that I had to start up my business from scratch again, unfortunately just as the pandemic was hitting us here in the UK. I officially opened the doors at my parents home to my little summerhouse studio in July 2020 after deciding I didn't want to be mobile anymore for many reasons and I very quickly was working full time with all my lovely clients returning to me over an over again. Fast forward to the end of 2022, I am now in my own studio and have a lovely group of self employed individuals working along side me. 

​

I decided very early on in my career that I wanted to teach as there is a lack of good education in the beauty industry with most courses having the minimum and anyone is able to pass. In late July 2023,  I finally launched my own courses which are ABT accredited and I am working with some amazing companies to provide the best tools and equipment. You can find more information on the Training Courses tab above.

​

Now in 2025, we are now expanding into our second studio, it is only next door so we are not moving far but it will be bigger and better!!

 

If you're reading this I hope to see you come through the doors of the studio at some point whether that be as a client or one of my students!
