ABOUT

Hello I'm Lucy,

I wanted to share with you my story, and let you know more about the products and services that you buy from LP and the thought that goes into each one.

A little bit about me… I attended beauty college after leaving school, covering level 2 and 3 beauty.

I quickly realised that nails were the one for me. So I began to focus my attention and energy here.

After being told that I would never make a career out of doing nails, I worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week to build my client base, and what is now the Lucy Pastorelli Nails & Training Academy. Home to 10 x Nail Technicians, 1 x Aesthetic Clinic, 2 x Beauticians, 1 x Lash Technician and a

Hair Salon. 

I have been a nail tech for over 13 years and an educator for 10. I've always wanted to help nail techs grow in themselves and their business. I see you as colleagues, not competition and I am driven to provide the best equipment and education to help you flourish. 

​

I set out to create a product range and environment that is inclusive to all, and offers the best quality products that are also affordable. I wanted to help promote industry excellence and create a brand that you can trust.

So how did it all start… Initially, I was teaching for other brands, and I soon realised there was a better way to do things, I wanted to put my own spin on it too.
Having dyslexia, I understand that people learn in different ways and at different levels and wanted to make my courses different.

My focus has always been a ‘hands-on’ teaching approach. Meaning that the LP courses are mainly practical, so no sitting behind screens or reading pages and pages of manuals for hours on end. Students are asked to bring a model to all LP courses, this means they are working as they would in a real-life environment - it ensures confidence is developed on the course, and allows students to be able to start working on their clients straight away. I don’t feel you can get this working on yourself or on a practice hand.

During my courses, I would often find that students were arriving with substandard equipment, which was not only difficult for them to use, but also made it difficult to teach. When the 2020 lockdown happened, it gave me the time to research and start to develop my own products.

I found a local medical tool manufacturer and began developing the LP Tool range with them. I'm from Sheffield so it made sense to get the best local steel. I also wanted the tools to be black, different from anything in the industry and I loved the chic look this gave the tools too...
