Gothic Almond
Starting out as a nail tech in 2012, in her home country of Romania, Andreea moved to London in 2013 and realized her job was in fact her passion.
“I discovered nail competitions in 2014 and have since won multiple national and international titles. My biggest achievement was winning the Top UK Tech Division 3 trophy at Nailympia London 2022, but it won’t stop there. I hope one day to win a Global Cup and get to judge nail competitions around the world.
“During my 10 years in the nail industry, I’ve trained with multiple nail educators, as I believe personal development is extremely important to my career path. I’ve always wanted to run my own salon and academy, and I’m happy to announce this dream came true in September 2022, when I opened Andreea Nails Salon & Academy in central London. I believe you can do anything you set your mind on, but one thing is for certain, ‘dreams do come true if you work hard for them’.”
