A BARROW business has grown from strength to strength and is providing high quality training in the beauty industry.  

Polished Nail and Beauty Training, located at Unit 36 Trinity Enterprise Business Centre, is owned, and operated by Rachel Barrow who has brought a variety of courses and training classes to aspiring beauticians, salons, and beginners in the industry.

The business has been in operation for eleven years and is backed by 17 years of teaching experience by Rachel.

Polished Nail and Beauty Training has also been the winners of the LUXlife Health Beauty & Wellness Awards 2020, 2021 and 2022 in the 'Best Beauty Training Provider' category.

She said: “I have had the business for the past eleven years.

“It’s my business and it’s been going very well in the area.

“We offer a variety of training and courses, and we’ve also moved into bigger premises since we first started which has been good.

“There are three of us working here at the moment but we get everything done.

“We offer more courses now, private full cost courses, and we run courses in beauty, holistic and nails from level two to four.

“We’ve got clients who come from all over Cumbria, and wider afield. There are a lot of beginners we take on who want to move into the industry and change their careers.

“Some people want to get a new job which is more based around their children, or with the intent to start a family.

“I’ve come from a background of teaching but eventually I thought why not set up something myself. Before I was teaching larger classes, but here I can have more one-on-one attention with people which means a higher quality of learning for them.

“I used to teach in a college so I’ve always had a good understanding of what was out there in the industry and I put on training around that.

“I’ve got seven courses on today and usually hold private classes between four and six.

“I have a website with all our different information on there at polishnailandbeautytraining.com.”
