Mel went above and beyond to provide me with extensive feedback for my online hard gel course. I was apprehensive to do an online course but I was so impressed with the online material and feedback. I recommend Melanie Lewendon Academy to anyone!!

Highly recommend, the knowledge this woman holds amazes me. Not only is she passionate about the industry, but she takes pride in seeing you succeed. I’ve done several courses with Mel now and will continue to do so. 100% recommend.

I recently completed the Builder Gel Online Course with Melanie, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From start to finish her training was clear, detailed, and so informative. Melanie not only covers everything there is to know about builder gel, but also covers so many other crucial topics you need to know to succeed in the nail industry (vital things that many other educators don't even touch on!).
Even though it was online, my training felt really personal and interactive and the 1-1 feedback is so supportive and constructive. I would highly recommend Melanie's courses to anyone thinking about getting into the nail industry or looking to up-skill. She’s not only an amazing nail tech herself but also a genuine, lovely person and a fantastic educator who really knows her stuff. You can tell she really cares about her student's success.
Thank you so much for such a fabulous learning experience! 💅

I have recently purchased and completed one of Mel's beginner courses, as an already trained nail tech, to brush up on my skills and build my confidence. She has absolutely blown me away! Not only is she a fantastic and well knowledgeable educator, she is a kind and supportive presence whose criticism is very in depth and constructive. I will never go elsewhere for my training after such a wonderful supportive experience! Thank you so much Mel, I cannot wait to learn more with you!

What a tutor....explains well, instructions are clear, answers all questions expertly. I would rate Mel the best of the best in the business. If you want to learn from the expert to improve your business get on her courses

I did my nails courses with Mel and she made me so comfortable, listened watched and guided me in the right direction, honestly the work and effort she puts into everything she does is absolutely incredible ❤️

Absolutely amazing!! So so helpful, any questions whether it’s course related or general nail knowledge she always gives the best advice! Doing my course with Melanie has been the best decision ever, I feel so confident! She gives the most detailed feedback and makes everything so easy to understand! Just perfect !

Couple years ago , I wanted to do something different it’s so hard to find the right trainer.
I came across Mel did my gel nail training and honestly I wouldn’t go anywhere else , she’s helpful easy to train with and she’s genuine
And her work is out of this world. I think there’s so many nail techs that are just here for the money but not our Mel she’s the best of the best her awards and work prove that x

If you are starting out in your nail career or looking to refresh or do a course .
Please go to Melanie she is the best trainer I’ve ever had she made things seem so easy I was petrified of the efile before I went in but left feeling confident and with plenty of knowledge!! Thanks Melanie your amazing I’m just looking what else to book ❤️

Choosing the right nail educator can be overwhelming, which is why I’m so glad I found Mel. With 17 years of experience in the industry, her expertise is incredible.

From the moment I signed up for her 3-day in-person course, I knew I’d made the right choice. Even before the first day, the level of detail she provided through the online learning hub—covering nail theory and all aspects of the industry—was amazing. It’s easy to see why she was awarded Scratch Nail Educator of the Year (2025)!

Throughout our sessions, I always felt encouraged and supported, which as a complete beginner meant so much. Mel’s genuine passion for her work shines through in the way she teaches and interacts with her students. Every day left me feeling inspired, motivated, and excited to build on what I had learned.

Even now that my in-person sessions are over, I feel confident knowing Mel’s guidance is still there whenever I need it. This course has been so much more than just learning a skill—it’s given me a foundation for a career and a mentor I can turn to for ongoing support!

Thank you for everything Mel ☺️💗

10/10 knowledge from Melanie! She is supportive, professional and truly passionate about what she does. She always wants the best for her learners and goes above and beyond to provide guidance and encouragement.

I honestly couldn’t recommend anyone better to support and teach you through your nail journey. Thank you, Melanie!

Amazing lady with exceptional knowledge. Loved my e file course this week with her and would highly recommend.

Had an amazing character nail art training day with Mel, she is an amazing artist and trainer as well as a down to earth person. You won’t feel silly or inadequate there’s no judgement, just pure love for what she does. We had such fun on our training day and my confidence went through the roof. Truly an amazing artist and person! Thanks Mel.

Melanie is a true inspiration. She leads from the front but makes it so easy to follow.
Not just as a tech or an educator but as a person, as a supporter.

Amazingly talented lady. Not only is she good at what she does she very friendly and makes you feel very welcome

Mel is great educator I wouldn't go anywhere else for professional training. Her in depth understanding of professional knowledge of the nail industry is just incredible.
If I'm ever struggling she is always on hand to give advice.
Being able to Training with her one to one was amazing really felt like I got a proper education especially coming straight from beauty college it was clear how much mel had to offer compared to college.
Can't fault her teaching techniques. Her standards and passion are an incredible and its lovely to know she really loves teaching.
Her knowledge and skills should be a national standard for all professional techs to learn from.

Learning from her is a true pleasure

I cannot recommend Melanie enough-personable, experienced, world-class education in any format you choose. I have completed BIAB online, Gel online and e-file in person and all have been super-informative and confidence giving. There is so much to learn but Mel breaks it down and is on hand for support and guidance. I will be doing many more courses with Mel!

Melanie is an outstanding educator,we have referred several of our student customers to her accademy,all of whom have been extremely happy,loved her humour,gentle encouragement and a depth of knowledge accross all mediums, thats a quality that few educators have,she's also an amazing support to them once they are qualified,again that's a rare quality,it's that future support and the availability to return and learn more skills that truly makes her stand out! She's also not product biased and simply recommends products that she trusts.
