About Me
I’m Nicola Vacher-Smith! A beauty therapist and nail technician with over 11 years of experience, and now an educator passionate about helping others thrive in this incredible industry. Through sanctuary twelve, I’ve created a calm, welcoming space where aspiring and experienced therapists alike can grow their skills and confidence. Whether you’re dreaming of starting a new career or looking to refine your techniques, I offer beginner courses and 1-1 masterclasses tailored to your journey. My goal is to empower others to build a life and business they love, just like I did.
My Story
My journey into the beauty industry began over a decade ago, and it’s been the most rewarding path I could have chosen. What started as a passion quickly became a lifelong career, giving me the freedom to work the hours I choose, build meaningful connections, and create a life I truly love.
After years of investing in my own training and development, I knew I wanted to give back. Not just by teaching skills, but by offering something deeper, real support, mentorship, and a safe space to grow. That’s why I created sanctuary twelve, a place where students feel seen, heard and empowered.
My mission is simple: inspire others to join this amazing industry, gain confidence, and live the life they’ve always dreamed of. Whether you’re starting from scratch or building on what you already know, i’ll be with you every step of the way.
