How to Find Us

We now have 5 training centres, one in Dover for the Kent region, one in Hastings for the Sussex region, one in Aberdeen for the East of Scotland region, one in Chesshunt for the North London region and one in Woldingham for the Surrey region. Please go to the relevant centre pages for full directions.

Models

Students learn best if they perform and receive treatments.  It reinforces learning and by experiencing the treatment you know how it feels ie massage pressure.  If you have any contra-indications, then you will be required to bring a model (however, please note your model may be practised on by other students as well.). Acrylic and gel complete nail courses require you to bring a model (see acrylic and gel complete course information.)

Waxing and Threading

Students will be practising on each other so please have a minimum of two weeks hair growth since shaving or four weeks since waxing.  The areas you will be practising on are half or full leg, underarm, bikini, eyebrow and top lip.  For threading we will be practising on the arm and then shaping an eyebrow and threading top lip.

Manicure and Pedicure

Please do not wear any type of nail extension or overlay for this course.  Students will be practising on each other.   If you arrive with nail extensions or overlays you may be refused training for that day, and a rebooking charge may apply.

Spray Tanning and Manual Tanning

Students will be practising on each other so please prepare your skin for the tan according to the instructions in the handbook.

Eyelash and Brow Tinting and Eyelash Lifting/Perming

Students are required to have a patch test at least 24 hours prior to the training.  This can be carried out with us or we can post the products out.  You will be signing on the day to confirm that you have had a patch test and no reaction occurred.  Without this confirmation you will not be able to carry on with the training that day.

Acrylic Complete and Gel Complete Courses

Students need to bring a model for the afternoon session, please check you student areas for the course times. Alternatively trainer hands can be used (although these are not a realistic substitute.)

Eyelash Extensions Course

Students are required to have no eye enhancements on.

Nail Art Course

Students do not require a model for this session; they will either practise on each other or a trainer hand.

Cancellation/Rebooking

Please refer to our policies page.

Tests

These are completed online.  Please ensure they are completed before the date of the course.  They are an important part of the learning and mean that we can start at a practical stage rather than a theory stage when starting the course.  This is how we can reduce the length of our courses and make them more convenient for you.  If tests are not completed before the course date then a £5 postage charge will apply for postage of certificates
