Get To Know Us…
I’m Caroline, the founder of Braw Nails and Training Academy. What started as a simple idea has grown into something really special. Braw is more than just a salon or a training provider. It’s a space filled with creativity, skill, ambition and community. Whether you’re coming in for your nails or looking to kickstart your career in the industry, this is a place where people are supported to grow.
Before Braw, I spent 15 years as a primary school teacher. Teaching has always been a huge passion of mine, and when I made the leap into the nail world, I realised quickly I could combine education with my love for nails. I’ve now spent the last five years working hands-on in the salon, specialising in BIAB, e-filing, and more advanced techniques. Alongside my incredible team, I’ve helped grow a strong reputation for high standards, attention to detail and real, long-lasting support for our students and clients.
Every service and every course at Braw has been designed to give you a genuine, high-quality experience. Whether you're here for a flawless set of nails, a luxury pedicure or to begin your training journey, you’ll be welcomed into a space that’s friendly, professional and rooted in helping you succeed.
I also love to travel and I bring back inspiration from all over the world. From global trends to new techniques and ideas, I use everything I learn to help others create businesses they’re proud of. I’m a big believer that the nail industry holds endless opportunities and I’m here to show you that success is absolutely possible, with the right support, training and mindset.
Welcome to Braw Nails,

Morven | Nail Tech & Salon Manager
Morven started her career in nails as a creative outlet while raising her daughter, and what began as a side hobby has grown into a full-time role she’s truly passionate about. She’s known for her meticulous cuticle prep, love of a crisp French finish, and attention to detail in every appointment.
Morven is fully trained in toenail reconstruction and takes pride in delivering high-quality treatments in a calm and friendly environment. She works in the salon on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, balancing life as a dedicated mum and valued member of the Braw team.
When she’s not at her desk, you’ll probably find her listening to country music (with Morgan Wallen on repeat) and planning her dream trip to Italy, ideally with her latest new water bottle in hand.
Kerrie | Nail Tech & Trainer
Kerrie brings a unique and diverse background to the Braw Nails team. Formerly a lawyer and primary school teacher, she has a strong eye for detail and a calm, confident approach that clients and students alike value.
Now working full-time as a nail technician and trainer, Kerrie specialises in bespoke pedicure services, detailed nail art, and our ever-popular mystery manis. She’s also a key part of our education team, delivering high-quality training with a focus on technique, creativity, and confidence building.
Outside of the salon, Kerrie is a dedicated mum and a skilled musician, she plays three instruments and performs as part of an orchestra. While she’s not convinced about the salon’s country music playlist, she makes up for it with her love of all things Christmas and her commitment to giving every client a standout experience!
Laura | Newly Qualified Nail Tech
Laura is a newly qualified nail technician and a proud mum of two boys. Currently building her confidence and refining her skills, she brings a warm and welcoming energy to the salon. She has a natural flair for nail art and a passion for creating designs that are both personal and detailed.
Laura loves getting to know each of her clients and takes pride in making them feel comfortable and cared for during their appointments. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her little sausage dog on long walks, catching up with friends, and unwinding with a good sci-fi series.
As part of the Braw team, Laura is committed to learning and growing in her craft, while delivering a relaxed and friendly experience for every client. Laura currently works every Thursday with us!
Jennifer | Newly Qualified Nail Tech
Jennifer joined the Braw Nails team after completing her training with us in summer 2025. As a newly qualified nail tech, she's full of enthusiasm and creativity, and is already building her confidence and growing her client base with every appointment.
Balancing a full-time job and life as a mum to three boys, Jennifer still finds time to pursue her passion for nails. She brings a calm and friendly energy to the salon and loves getting stuck into anything creative. A big fan of country music, she’s right at home with the Braw team.
Jennifer currently works with us on Wednesdays and is excited to welcome new clients as she continues to develop her skills and experience in the industry.
