I am proud to have been an educator at La Perfecta Nail Academy for the past 10 years, with over 20 years of experience as a professional Nail Designer. Originally from Poland, I’ve been living in Ireland for more than 16 years, where I’ve shared my passion for nail styling with students from all walks of life. Nail art has always been my favourite aspect of this profession, but I adore salon shapes and deeply love avant-garde and extreme designs. My teaching philosophy is simple: deliver knowledge professionally but always keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable. Education should be practical and fun, so I go out of my way to make sure my students feel comfortable during in-person and online training. Stiff, overly formal courses are not my style—laughter and positivity are always welcome in my classroom. As someone who believes we should never stop learning, I continually invest in my education by attending workshops and training sessions led by world-class educators. At least once a year, I invite renowned international trainers to Ireland so nail stylists here can benefit from their expertise, too. Over the years, I’ve had the honour of winning several awards in international nail competitions. However, I value building a community of supportive nail technicians the most. In our industry, we should see each other not as competitors but as colleagues who can inspire, learn from, and uplift one another. Thank you for joining me on this journey—I’m excited to help you grow as a nail professional!
