About me
Hi, I’m Giang
I’m a qualified nail technician based in the UK. I started The Nail Guide to answer the questions clients ask me every day in the salon, honestly and without the marketing spin. Everything on this site comes from what I see, what I’ve trained in, and what I’d tell a friend sitting in my chair.
