GINA WALLACE ENTERPRISES, INC. 

Gina Wallace Enterprises, Inc. is the exclusive North American distributor for Essential Nail Products, Ltd. (also known as Essential Nails), who is the creator and manufacturer of the Home Learn Nail and Airbrushing course/kits and the one-of-a-kind Nail Trainer practice hand which is included in the Home Learn Nail Extension course/kits.

HISTORY OF THE NAIL TRAINER PRACTICE HAND:

In 1994, UK inventors John Grace and Dave Simmons began developing a method by which nail students could practice the skills and techniques they needed to become more proficient....thus enabling them to offer their services to the general public quicker, safer and to a high standard.  Inventing the Nail Trainer practice hand was a 2 year effort, requiring many modifications along the way.  What you receive today is the result of many veterans in the nail industry (including Gina Wallace) who have put forth their recommendations and suggestions for improvement.  The Nail Trainer practice hand is now the leading product recognized throughout the UK and EUROPE for classroom based training and is making a HUGELY positive impact in training centers in the USA and Canada.  Designer Nails (distributors for Creative Nail Design Products) insist on utilizing the Nail Trainer in all their classrooms, along with many other colleges and training institutes!  Why? Because this unique tool enables students to learn their new skills at a much faster rate because it prevents them from searching for "live models" to practice on.  In addition, it allows the students to focus on their tasks "at hand" instead of being distracted by live models.  And they can take their Nail Trainer home after class to practice any time they wish, morning--noon--or night, at their own pace and in their own time.  Millions of students who have used this remarkable invention have discovered that without it, they would have not been able to achieve their high standards. Yes, Gina Wallace Enterprises, Inc. and Essential Nails strive to bring "the future of nail training" into present day...just for you!

HISTORY OF ESSENTIAL NAILS:

With the invention and perfection of the Nail Trainer practice hand, Essential Nail Products, Ltd., was born.  Today, the company is still directed by John Grace and Dave Simmons and is headquartered in Suffolk, England, but the company now employs a large staff of full-time team members who distribute their products world wide. 

HISTORY OF HOME LEARN NAIL AND AIRBRUSHING COURSE/KITS:

In 1997, John Grace approached American, Gina Wallace (a 3-time national competition winner) at a Nail Industry Exhibition while she was performing live demonstrations for attendees.  (Gina's biography is outlined HERE.)  After the exhibition, John visited Gina to discuss development of distance training nail courses for students.  Gina was very impressed with the professional image of the company but much more impressed with the outstanding possibilities of a training course that could be accomplished at home or in a salon utilizing the benefits of a Nail Trainer practice hand.  So the wheels were set in motion.  The first to be completed was the acrylic nail extensions with over 2 hours of intense nail training.  Every consideration was given to achieving professional-quality training  with easy-to-understand, step-by-step information.  Over the next year, four more nail training DVDs were completed, all with the same high standards set forth by Essential Nails and Gina Wallace. 

The airbrushing course/kit was the last to be developed and completed, yet airbrushing is now the most "in demand" course/kit of all that are on offer!  Technicians have found that adding airbrushing to their list of services DOES prove worthwhile because it increases their monthly income dramatically!

In February, 1999, Gina Wallace launched the  http://www.ginawallace.com web site. With a library of nail industry related  pages, it is an invaluable source of  information for nail students, nail technicians and anyone wanting to learn more about nails.  In September, 2002, Gina launched a sister site called http://www.homelearncourses.com/ , with http://www.nailtrainerhand.com following in August, 2004, and http://www.nailtechtraining.com in March, 2006.

HISTORY OF GINA WALLACE ENTERPRISES, INC.

When Gina Wallace moved back "home" to the United States in early 2000, she continued to serve as Essential Nail's Principal International Educator, but was so proud of the popularity of  Nail Trainers. To distribute Nail Trainers world wide, controlling the quality and production of them were paramount in her mind....and the only way to ensure this was to establish Gina Wallace Enterprises, Inc. (GWEI).

Gina Wallace and her staff of industry knowledgable employees aim to give you the best nail training and customer service you will find anywhere!
