why we’re different

Caitlin Hingst, founder of AMIRI Studio, began her nail business in her spare room while studying for her nursing degree—a leap driven by her passion for nails and a desire to build something of her own. Just three years later, she owns a successful beauty studio in Newcastle, leading a growing team.

Inspired by her own journey, Caitlin established AMIRI Academy to share the expertise that earned her a loyal clientele and strong industry reputation. Just as Caitlin took a bold step to follow her passion, you can do the same. AMIRI Academy offers flexible online courses, allowing you to study anytime, anywhere, and gain the skills you need to turn your passion into a successful career. Whether through in-depth online lessons or personalised in-person training, AMIRI Academy will support you at every stage of your nail journey…

your nail tech educator who created the course, Caitlin

I’m thrilled you’re here! Becoming a nail artist is rewarding — you’ll help clients look and feel great while becoming a trusted part of their lives.

I can’t wait to share my technique and everything I’ve learnt over the past 4 years. While my methods are time-tested, I encourage you to experiment and adapt them to suit your own style. Think of this technique as a starting point to develop your unique approach.

My course covers every step of the BIAB manicure process, from nail prep to hygiene. You’ll also learn how BIAB has helped grow AMIRI Studio — starting from a fully-booked home salon to managing a team of 9 staff members. I’ll show you how profitable this technique can be for your career. Let’s get started and elevate your skills together!

Such a great day in studio with Kelsey and her 1:1 student Casey. They wrapped up a 5-hour up-skilling session with some real progress - it’s always so rewarding to see confidence and technique come together in just a few hours!!
