MY STORY
My journey in the nail industry began over nine years ago, driven by a genuine passion for nail artistry and the transformative power it holds. After years of perfecting my craft as a professional nail technician, I discovered something equally fulfilling—teaching others.
In 2019, I founded Nails Academy by Mariola Kozuszek in Luton, transforming my vision of accessible nail education into reality. What started as a small venture has grown into an internationally recognised academy, welcoming students from across the globe.
Each graduate's success story reinforces why I chose this path. Watching students evolve from beginners to confident professionals, seeing them launch their own careers, and knowing I've played a part in their journey—That’s what keeps me going.
