French Tips: A Timeless Classic

What are French Tips and why are they so popular? The style of the French Tip dates back to the 1930s and gained their iconic name in Hollywood in the 1970s by Jeff Pink, the creator of the French Manicure. The French Manicure was created to help screen actors speed up the process of wardrobe changes. The French Tip is a simple yet elegant style of nail, suitable for everyday wear and special occasions, making it a very practical yet fashionable choice!

A French Tip is traditionally a nude nail with a white tip. Today, the French Manicure has been modernised with the addition of colour and glitter! Due to its popularity, this is an essential treatment in any spa or salon. Nail technicians will be able to charge between £25-£50 for this treatment. These nails are durable, long-lasting and practical, and remain incredibly stylish today!

    Brilliant course. Tutor Leanne was so helpful and friendly and made me feel totally at ease. I was nervous as I have never done any beauty training before and she put me at ease straight away. Brilliant service and I will one hundred percent be using again. Thank you very much!!

    I have done a few courses at the Cambridge and London venues and loved all of them. Staff is very friendly and professional at the same time which makes it easy to learn the theory and also the techniques. Teachers pay attention to each student and gives honest advises and support. I highly recommend The Beauty Academy for everyone.

    I made a last minute decision to attend the ‘dry manicure and gel polish’ course and so glad I did! The tutor (Donnamarie) was so passionate and inspiring that she gave me the confidence I needed. Everything was well explained and the group was small enough get the best out of the day.
