An Intro Message From Cheryl, Founder of Fuzion

Hi, my name is Cheryl McLaughlin and I'm the owner and founder of Fuzion Gel and the Fuzion Academy. Is a career in nails right for you?  This is definitely a question that I have been asked many times by many prospective students and a question that I also asked myself over 25 years ago when I first took my very first nail course.

So in this course, we're going to try to help you answer that question. We're going to talk a little bit about where you can work, what opportunities there are for you, how much money you can make, and how Fuzion can help you achieve your goals. 

So even if you just want to learn more about the health and safety of natural nails, working with gel polish and doing your own nails, or you want to take one of our programs and study to become a professional certified nail technician, Fuzion and the Fuzion Academy is here to help, and we can help you succeed.

So take a look at the rest of this course and let's decide if a career in nails is right for you!

What our graduates have to say

Fuzion has graduated over 1000 students since 2009. See what our students have to say about our courses and support!
"Noela Nails just turned one! Looking back at the past 18 months during my schooling and first year of business, I feel nothing but gratitude towards Fuzion for helping me kickstart my career as a certified na il technician. While I attended the Fuzion Academy I had the pleasure of having Nikki Stratton as my educator for my one-on-one beginner training. She was amazing to work with, patient, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. I will never forget those few classes that started it all for me. Even though I am finished with my schooling and have been working steadily with a growing clientele the support hasn't ever ended. The Fuzion community is beautiful and full of kind-hearted people who want to see you grow and achieve your goals. They will give you the skills you need to succeed and cheer you on as you go! I will be forever grateful. Thank you Fuzion!"
