    This course was brilliant. I was nervous going in as had little to no experience whatsoever but was helped so much and made to feel very welcome. I had Lorraine as my tutor and she was very helpful and I hope to have courses with her in the future as she was an amazing and very knowledge-full tutor with lots of experience. Highly recommended The Beauty Academy and it’s courses.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Beauty Academy course. It’s was highly informative and taught with great expertise from Karen. Karen as a tutor was unbelievably friendly, caring and attended to everyone’s needs. She made sure she had valuable time with everyone and gave out loads of praise (which is lovely as someone who like reassurance).
    I left knowing I’ve gain a lot of knowledge that I can practice and also perform in person. I felt proud of what I had achieved and it was all thanks to Karen at the Beauty Academy.
    I highly highly recommend to anyone.
