Have completed a few courses with The Beauty Academy and they never fail to disappoint. I completed a course this week with Yvonne and she is simply awesome. Her knowledge and experience in the world of beauty is second to none! Helped with business issues as well as teaching a course to perfection. Thank you!

I attended one of The Beauty Academy’s lash courses last weekend, and found it to be a lovely & pleasant experience throughout.Our trainer was incredibly friendly & informative, and she made us all feel safe & confident enough to ask any questions we had - she was really honest with us too, which helped me understand so much more!I found the course to be really thorough (covering client consultations, patch tests & contra-indications, lash prep, lash application, aftercare, insurance, equipment & more!), and for someone who had never done lashes before, I left the training centre feeling well-educated & confident😄HIGHLY recommend!

Attended a facial course at The Beauty Academy and it was fantastic! Exceeded all my expectations, I did expect a full classroom course but was so glad it was practical and had lots of hands on experience, I've also recommended the academy to a family member who will be booking soon. Was a great day and I am looking forward to booking further courses. Overall an absolutely amazing day.

Unfortunately my experience at the Manchester academy wasn't great on the Brow Lamination Course. Personally I didn't think the teacher was right for the course and therefore didn't get great learning out of the practical course what I was hoping for. I have left feeling not so confident. I fed this back to the head office who offered me the online course however I paid for a practical course because I learn better through practice so I respectfully declined. If this is the standard for this academy's Brow Lamination Course then I highly recommend against doing it with this academy. Instead find someone who specialises and practices in Brow Laminations specifically. £229 down the drain for me unfortunately.

So i attended the Manchester location and did the acrylic nail course with karen!! Honestly she is the most lovely and welcoming person i have ever met. I can be a chatter box sometimes and ask way to many questions but karen had the patience with Me and answered all my questions. We had learnt all the basics on acrylic nails. I would highly recommend!!!

I have been a student at the beauty academy twice now and have had the same amazing teacher called Karen , Karen is a natural teacher she explains and demonstrates procedures in a way very easy to understand , every question you ask is answered no matter how silly it may seem, she is very patient and will keep explaining or showing you till you have mastered it , I can honestly say Karen is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had ,, the school is comfortable and you feel very at ease there , the courses are very reasonably priced , enjoyable , the other students are all lovely too , I really enjoy going there and can’t wait to do my next course ,,, thanks Karen you do a fantastic job ,,,,,

I started my adventure with beauty about 7 years ago from a facial and skincare course with Yvonne. This amazing woman infected me with her passion. That's why I kept going back to the next courses: microdermabrasion, electrical facial, massages, pedicures, eyebrows, eyelashes, nails, ...Sometimes I was a really creepy student, especially the last two which were difficult for me. However, the patience of another wonderful woman, Katy, allowed me to complete these courses successfully.At the encouragement of both ladies, I decided to do NVQ 2 and 3. During the year I had to get NVQ, my life turned upside down. I underwent 3 surgeries, one of which was life-saving. I was afraid that I would not be able to complete the competencies before the deadline.Then the support team came to my aid, extending the deadline for completing the course, for which I am extremely grateful. I was able to pass my written exam on the first try and Katie made sure my practical exam went very smoothly. Therefore, if you love what you do and want to learn new skills, I believe that this is the best beauty school you can choose.The professionalism, experience and passion of the teachers is amazing ! Thank you XXX

I have just completed the VTCT Level 3 Electrical Facial with Yvonne. Yvonne was so knowledgeable and passionate about the beauty industry. Our group for these last couple of days was lovely too. I am looking forward to continue the rest of my course at the Beauty Academy.
An absolutely brilliant training day at the Beauty Academy. We had a wonderful trainer, Katy, she was extremely knowledgeable and made the day really excellent for us. The course was very thorough and has hugely helped build confidence to go off and do treatments on clients.As a small group of 4, we did the basic facial course which I would highly recommend for getting started. We were allowed to use our own Tropic products, which was really helpful.Parking was easy to find, nearby and relatively cheap. Toilet facilities at the venue were basic as there was only one ladies toilet. There was a small breakout area which didn’t have enough chairs for the number of students, but we were grateful for the provision of tea and coffee.Katy answered all of our questions at the end, we would be happy to return to the Beauty Academy for further courses.

I have been looking into doing beauty for a while and waxing was one of the things I was interested in so I went ahead and booked the course, I was very nervous as I have never done anything in this industry before but Katy put me and the other girls at ease what an absolute pleasure to have trained with such a lovely group. Any questions or queries Katy was more than happy to answer and she covered absolutely everything including insurance providers, wholesalers, social media… I will definitely be returning to add a wider list to my beauty qualifications. I also highly recommend the beauty academy. Looking forward to returning, a massive thank you to Katy!

Honestly I am so over the moon with the level of professionalism, genuinity, love and passion Katy put into my 2 day course for spa body massage. The way that woman knows her stuff, and the amount I learnt in 2 days was shocking. Even at other places where I have done courses, I felt I needed more guidance and teaching. Here at The Beauty Academy, with Katy in particular, I feel like she WANTED to see me go far. Defo booking my lash course with her in particular, even though I have already done a lash course somewhere else, I want to do it over again so that Katy can teach me. Il be much better at them then I feel. Thank you thank you thank you for your hard work and dedication. Need more teachers like her around.
