Penny Lawler

Penny Lawler has combined her two passions - teaching and the beauty industry - into an extremely successful career. She began working in adult education in 2006 and qualified as a Nail Technician a year later. In 2011 she took the leap to make nails her full time job and it was a natural progression to include education within that role. Between 2011-2016 she built 4 successful businesses, all within the beauty industry - the very first of which was a nail salon that went from zero clients in a spare bedroom to 300 clients and several staff in 18 months. "With 9 years’ industry experience including 5 years running a school for Nail Technicians I see, on a daily basis, a steady stream of women who are drawn to our industry by passion BUT so many struggle after graduation, lacking the skills to turn their qualification into a viable business." Penny now shifts her focus to mentoring others in the industry and turning passion into profit.

This was a fantastic booster to the basic training I got from another provider. Having the knowledge of how and why and what my products are is fantastic! It's very well presented in the online format and the questionnaire and quizzes are great. I'd almost love to have a quiz at the end of each video and then another big one at the end, although aware this is part of a bigger programme.
