The children's and teens' branch of MANIQUE Academy — monthly, hands-on nail masterclasses that build creativity, confidence and real skills in a professional salon setting.
Nail art masterclasses
for young creatives
This October, MANIQUE Mini Academy opens its Glasgow salon for a Halloween-themed evening of nail art for young creatives aged 7–15 — learning to paint cute ghosts, pumpkins and spiderwebs. Two dates, open now.
Relaxed evening sessions. No experience needed — just creativity, curiosity and a little Halloween spirit.
