I studied here for my 12 week nail technician course and Laura was such a good teacher, she taught me so much to help me with my own nail business and necessary skills needed for the industry. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Isabelle Harte
Before her move to Tenerife, I had been going to Laura since my confirmation and I haven’t trusted anyone with my nails as much as her since she left. Her service is top quality and every time I’ve gotten my nails done they have always stayed strong and lasted long. Laura herself is so friendly and welcoming and I couldn’t recommend anyone else.
Anne McKenna
I've just had the most wonderful pedicure with Laura. My feet feel wonderful. Her attention to detail is fantastic. The adjustable seat was great. So relaxing. Absolutely gorgeous location and spotless too. There is even some local parking. I'm so impressed that I've made another appointment for next month. Thanks Laura I loved it.
Marina Fuentes Corridan
I recently visited Elite Aesthetics for microneedling, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how easy it was to find parking, which is such a bonus. The clinic itself is spacious, immaculately clean, and everything feels brand new and welcoming.
Laura Gavin is absolutely fantastic. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to explain the entire process and making sure I felt comfortable throughout. This was my first time trying microneedling, and I’m thrilled with the results—it exceeded my expectations!
I’ve already booked to return this Saturday to get my nails done because I was so impressed with the service and environment. If you’re considering any treatments, I highly recommend Elite Aesthetics and Laura Gavin. You won’t be disappointed!
Rachael Conlon
What can I say about Laura and her talent, I went to her every 2 weeks for my nails until she ventured over seas, she is absolutely amazing in everything she does, a friendly face, I miss her here in Ireland. she helped me tremendously, I had bells palsy and with a few sessions of micro needling my face came back to itself. People of Tenerife you are very lucky to have her over there. Good luck on you new adventure.
Amy O
I’ve been going to Laura for my nails for 6 years now, she is extremely talented at what she does. No nail tech I’ve been to has skills and a high level of expertise like hers. Laura is a total professional and perfectionist in her work, I absolutely cannot recommended her services enough!
Lynn Townend
Been going to Laura for the last few weeks for treatments. What a lovely lady. Makes you feel very welcome and is extremely knowledgeable regarding the treatments she offers. Laura is new to the Island but will definitely do well. Please support her by booking for your beauty needs. You will not be disappointed.
Sandra O Flynn
I have just had the Anti Aging facial with Laura Gavin at her new Salon in las adelfas 2 Golf del sur. Laura is very talented and her knowledge of the skin along with her various treatments she has on offer is second to none. Only using top quality products. My skin feels amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back for more facials in the near future. Thank you Laura
Veronika Elfmark

I am a visual learner though, so the visuals were perfect and the speed at which things were shown in real time was great. Instructors voice was easy to listen to, and she seemed to really enjoy what she was doing and she was good at it! I'd definitely purchase this course again.

I enjoyed seeing how the instructor constructed her freestyle modern art designs on the different nail tips. Her artistic approach was unique to what I’ve seen in the nail art world. Her designs were very modernistic and outside of the box. Great viewing!

Cerene Esdaille
I learned alot from this course. It was very interesting and informative. The videos was quite hard to see in the beginning because they were blurry at times and not aligned properly to see the nails, but eventually got clearer. Additionally, the explanations were clear and thorough. I would recommend this course to anyone especially beginners. This is the best course on nails I've seen so far.

She was very thorough in her explanations. At times you couldn’t see the nail, but since she did the whole hand you could see it in another nail. I feel like I would not need to watch over and over to get it right.
Sinead Coleman
Very informative and thorough with explaining proper procedures. However camera work was poor in places and it was difficult to see what was being carried out as the lens was out of focus on a few occasions. Otherwise I have learned a lot from this course, thank you.

Great details on the actual application and execution of each service described in the introductory. The only problem I saw was not cleaning underneath the client's nail, near the hyponychium and free edge. Otherwise, GREAT details!
