This category is for a nail professional that has been working predominantly on a mobile basis in the UK or ROI since before 1 February 2025. They work on a mobile basis for at least 15 hours per week, spending the majority of this time (over 70%) performing nail services: visiting clients at their convenience, whether at homes, in offices, or as a nail technician on a photo shoot.

They deliver an unrivalled nail service to their client regardless of location and manage their business – from stock to timings - effectively to show that their skill isn’t compromised by being ‘on the move’. They market their business effectively and offer clients a fantastic treatment experience.

What happens next? When entry closes on 15 March, all applications will be assessed. Five finalists in this category will be revealed on 6 April, and be mystery shopped. The report from this, plus other criteria, will be assessed by a panel of judges. Their scores will determine the winner, who will be announced at The Scratch Stars Party in London on 5 July.
