Book NowMeet the Founder
Hi, I’m Gemma.
A few years ago, I moved to a brand-new city where I didn’t know a single person.
I’d never done nails before. I had no business experience, no social media following, no clients, and absolutely no idea what I was doing. But I had a goal—to build something people couldn’t ignore.
Fast forward to today…
I’ve become one of the most fully booked nail techs in Essex, won two national nail awards, built my own salon, grown an audience of over 40,000 people on TikTok, created fully accredited training courses, launched Blackburn Beauty, and somehow earned the title of “the cuntiest nail tech in Essex”—a nickname proudly given to me by my clients.
Everything I’ve built started with absolutely nothing.
No shortcuts. No lucky break. Just consistency, learning from mistakes, showing up every single day, and refusing to quit.
That’s exactly why Blackburn Beauty exists.
Whether you’re here to train with me, grow your business, or shop my products, my goal is simple—to help you build a business that gives you confidence, freedom, and a life you genuinely love.
If I could build all of this from scratch, you absolutely can too.
Welcome to Blackburn Beauty. Let’s build something incredible together.
