Professional nail education in the Scottish Highlands, that supports you at every stage of your career.
1:1 & small group training
ABT Accredited courses


Hi, I’m Tegan, the face behind Reul Education.I began my journey in 2019 training at college. I’ve worked mobile, within commercial franchises, as well as in salons and now after 7 years I have my own private studio in the Scottish Highlands. I have built my business through a genuine love for the beauty industry and a strong focus on creating clean, high-quality work.Over time, I found myself naturally wanting to help others whether that was sharing tips, improving technique, or helping newer nail techs feel more confident in what they were doing.Being based in the Scottish Highlands, I became really aware of how limited, high-quality training can be locally, which made me even more passionate about bringing that opportunity closer to home.Reul Education was created to offer training that feels calm, supportive and genuinely useful. My aim is not just to teach, but to help you understand what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how to apply it confidently with real clients.I offer 1:1 and small group training so you’re never left feeling unsure or overwhelmed, with guidance throughout your learning and ongoing support after your course.Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, my goal is for you to leave feeling confident, capable and proud of your work.
