Meet Your Trainers

Claire Taylor (founder of Taylored For You)

Taylored For You started almost 11 years ago as I felt there was a gap in the market for professional beauty training carried out on a one-to-one basis or smaller groups, tailored to the individual’s abilities and requirements. 

Since then, the business has grown and I have helped numerous therapists set up their own successful businesses. Some of my students have even gone on become tutors themselves and opened up their own training businesses.

I regularly get asked to teach beauty tutors in college to help them update their skills and am proud to say that many college lecturers attend courses with myself, at the Academy, to gain further qualifications for their CPD.

I have worked in the Beauty industry for over 30 years, and have worked in both Salons and Spas, as well as my own mobile and home-based salon business. For the last 18 years I have been training in nails and beauty. I offer my wealth of knowledge to prepare you for your new career or new addition to your business.

I have always loved being an independent trainer. I have met like-minded people who share the same drive and enthusiasm for the Beauty industry, hence the wonderful team of highly experienced trainers that have joined my team. You can be assured that you will receive the highest level of training with back up and support for as long as you need it after your course has been completed.

I love sharing my experience in the industry with girls and women that have the same passion for it as me

Lisa Evans 

I have been part of the innovative, fast moving industry of Nails and Beauty for the past 8 years.  My ultimate passion is Nails. With every new skill acquired I have practiced at every given chance to enhance my skills. In 2013 I started entering competitions picking up guidance and even more skills along the way and in 2014 placing 2nd within the Permanent Polish Category at Beauty UK, giving me the urge to continue travelling around the country competing nationally, in which I will continue to do so.

From a previous position of 7 years gaining teaching experience under supervision, I decided that I eventually wanted to teach my passion to others who wanted to enter this industry. In September 2014 I passed my PTLLS Level 4 enabling me to start the next chapter of my profession.

I am very excited to be working with and alongside Claire Taylor at Taylored For You. I first met Claire after completing my Level 3 Nail Qualification as I was looking to train using Gel Polish. I can only say it started there and Claire has continually fed my passion over the years with her continued professionalism answering any questions I had even after hours, a true informative professional and very much looking forward to meeting new passionate individuals and sharing our knowledge

The celebrity connection didn’t end there as she went on to work as a retail artist at MAC on the Kings Road, Chelsea. Michelle is really passionate about the inspiration, the creativity and imagination that make up can give, and it’s great fun too.
