Elustre's Owner & Nail Technician

Valene McKenzie-Trill (MGNT)

Trained by Essential Nails I qualified as a nail technician at the end of 2019. I love nail art and experimenting with different techniques and styles, so I have studied nail art with Inspired Online (now Melanie Lewendon Academy) and Neru Nails. Wanting to provide a more rounded service I attended more specialised nail courses such as IBX strengthen and repair and Footlogix Pediceuticals.

I imagined Elustre not only as somewhere to make your nails look beautiful, but also as a place to look after your nails. Somewhere where nail biters can come to help grow their nails; where those with constant nail breakages or thin nails can be treated and the condition of their nails improved; where you can work through a plan to achieve long term results.

I'm always trying to expand my knowledge and techniques keeping up with the most up to date information and courses, take a look at the education section below where you can see my latest qualifications.

I look forward to meeting you to discuss the results you would like to achieve at our next appointment.
