An amazing teacher Kerry who helps us so much throughout the learning process. Everything is explained clearly and patiently, which makes it very easy to understand and learn quickly. The lessons are engaging, supportive, and motivating, and you always feel encouraged to improve and gain confidence. I’ve learned so much in a short amount of time and would highly recommend this teacher to anyone wanting to learn and grow.

I attended the Beauty Academy in Clapham Junction for a Facial massage and a Waxing course over a a 3-day span and I had the best time ever… Chris (my tutor) is absolutely amazing and she really nurtures her students, she’s thorough and takes her time to explain things to ensure we all understand and it’s so fun.. I was lucky enough to meet some other lovely students and I can not wait to do more classes with Chris !
Thanks you so much xx

Great set up for training

Good set up, essential equipment and tools provided. Kelly is clearly knowledgeable in the industry. Fun environment. I do wish we had had time to practice both a manicure and a pedicure but understand time is limited.

Absolutely magnificent eyelash classic experience

This experience was absolutely magnificent.
The training was incredibly informative, well-structured, and delivered with so much clarity. The instructor, Kerry, was great, knowledgeable, supportive, and made the whole learning process enjoyable and confidence-boosting. I left feeling fully prepared and inspired to begin my journey. Highly recommended!
