our story
Hello Team! I’m Fiona Fox, founder of Nail Your Career™, where I help nail and beauty professionals build the businesses they've always dreamed of. I launched Nail Your Career™ in 2024 after building my own career and realizing there was a real need for clear, affordable, and accessible training in the beauty industry.
In 2018, I was an HR Advisor at a housing association, feeling stuck in pretty miserable cycle. One day, a second-hand nail lamp sparked my interest in nails, and although I thought a career in beauty was out of reach, I kept dreaming. By 2019, I knew a 9-5 job wasn’t working for me or my family. After a long and frustrating search, I finally discovered that I could actually get qualified in nails and beauty affordably and quickly, without going back to college.
I completed my manicure and pedicure training, started working from home, and added other treatments to my skillset while working. Along the way, I realized there was a need for clearer, more accessible training. That’s why I created Nail Your Career™—to offer practical, accredited courses for people who want to build their careers on their own terms.
Since then, I’ve built one of the top three nail salons in the UK, become a writer for Scratch Magazine, the world’s leading nail resource, earned qualifications as an educator, mental health first aider, and counsellor, and guided countless nail and beauty professionals toward success.
