OUR STORY

West Midlands Nail and Beauty Academy are one of the United Kingdom’s leading providers of beauty therapy courses. Based from our specialist training facility in the heart of Birmingham, we’ve developed an international reputation for world-class teaching. As a result, we’ve received recognition from some of the industry’s leading organisations, competing for prestigious awards at both regional and national level.

Since our inception in 2015, we have dedicated our time to develop an authentic, friendly environment providing the best possible learning conditions for our students. Having originally launched with our founder, Lyndsey Tidmarsh, as our only tutor, we’ve since built a team of industry experts. Each member of our staff is a highly-experienced beauty therapist, professionally trained across a range of treatments. 

Our learners are at the heart of our success. We’re proud to have trained no less than 16 award-winning students who excelled in national competitions including Worldskills UK and UK Nail Tech. Two have even achieved gold medals, earning them the right to be called the very best in the UK at nail technology! It is this pedigree that sets us apart from the rest – no other beauty academy in Birmingham, or indeed the West Midlands, can claim this level of success.
