How to find us

We highly recommend use of the free app – What3words which can be downloaded to your mobile device ahead of the day, to assist with locating the centre entrance on the day much more precisely than Google Maps or using SatNavs alone. What3words works alongside Waze to help avoid traffic delays also. What3words is available as a free app for iOS and Android or view online without download using the direct what3words links to the centre location below.

To locate the centre on what3words search: corner.dots.rewarding or visit https://what3words.com/slurs.goals.spout – this will bring you up the stone entrance driveway to Shinfield Grange which we are located within. See The Beauty Academy placque outside our entrance by walking around the side of the building.

Ample free parking is available on-site within the venue car park.

Thoroughly enjoyed my classic eyelash extension course with Lisa. She was very warm and welcoming and very good at explaining the fundamentals of eyelash extensions. Wasnt made to feel stupid and she was always happy to answer questions the group had. Very in-depth and informative course. Would recommend! Already booked to go back and do the hybrid and Russian course too!

I recently done a mani/pedi course and also a Gel extension course with the wonderful tutor Lisa! She was brilliant! Very welcoming and thorough with her training. Any questions asked she was more than happy to help. Such a kind, lovely, knowledgeable lady. Would 100% recommend.

I recently attended a manicure and pedicure training here. Our trainer Lisa was professional, knowledgeable and put you at ease. Information provided was emailed and content covered on the day was thorough. You must be prepared to receive and give the treatment on other students. Further studying can be done at home as course work is emailed and advised. Thoroughly recommend attending this course and other beautician courses available. Certificates are emailed after you pass the course.

I was gifted The Beauty Academy’s manicure and pedicure training course for my birthday. I had a brilliant day! ☺️Lisa was so professional — she had a wealth of knowledge and a lovely, upbeat personality. The academy itself is also beautifully situated in Reading. I learned so much through the day and would highly recommend this course to anybody who enjoys doing nails, either as a hobby or is looking to qualify as a nail technician.

Tutor: LisaCourse: ReflexologyJust finished a fantastic reflexology course here. We were lucky to be just two students, who already had an in-depth knowledge of anatomy. Lisa was a fantastic tutor, clearly very knowledgeable with a wealth of information which she shared freely. A comprehensive set of notes were provided and plenty of time for practical was given. It’s in a particularly nice setting with plenty of free parking. Thank you 🙏🏻

I have completed five courses here. It’s just brilliant! Lisa is a fantastic teacher which makes it a relaxing environment to learn. I recommend any course at this Academy. For me the Facial Electrics and Indian Head massage were great.

I really enjoyed joining the Facial Massage & Skincare course lead by the amazing Lisa at The Beauty Academy in Shinfield in January. There was so much to cover and Lisa had so much knowledge to share. She was so patient with the whole class and very clear when explaining the course content and giving demonstrations - if only we had more time to spend with her! :) I am very much looking forward to my next course in March.
