I have just trained on the mircoblading course 1-1 with Rachel. It's such a beautiful place with a lovely friendly atmosphere.
Rachel was extremely welcoming and made me feel at ease.
She is very passionate about what she does and is very talented!
I feel confident to get going on my new chapter and will definitely be back to do more training!
Thanks Rachel & the team

I had a wonderful experience again training at Brow & Blade Academy. I trained 2 years ago in Microblading and recently went back to learn advanced digital machine brows. I loved the training I had 1-1 with Rachel and absolutely loved it. I feel confident and ready to go. I also feel supported still if I need any advice xx

Bad vibes as soon as I walked in I arrived early and Olivia was rude and stand offish she sent me away and told me to get a ‘coffee’ the whole day I was there it was all rushed when she was training she was yawning and checking her phone and you could clearly tell all she was bothered about was the money and not actually helping people. No support was giving after either or even during the course 2 grand for a two day course to be rushed absolutely ridiculously , I also ordered some products on her website and paid for next day delivery and received it 10 days later cos she couldn’t Clearly be bothered to send it I opened up a case on pay pal because I didn’t think I’d receive it and she rudely text me saying don’t do that when she didn’t send my order on time in the first place. Her academy in my eyes is just a scam to get your money she isn’t bothered about actually training people or helping in the slightest. AVOID

I was a beginner when I came to B&B academy and left feeling like an expert.
Olivia and Rachel took you through every step and they have been there still over a year later. I’ll be going back to add some more skills to my tool belt.

Outstanding PMU training

I’ve done 2 training courses with brow and blade now and both were fantastic abs not to mention the most beautiful training academy. I learned new skills with the help of the trainers who are so knowledgeable. They are always on hand for support after you have finished also. I fully recommend this for anyone considering a career in PMU.

Machine brow course

What a great place to learn from scratch. Everyone was so helpful and supportive. Left feeling confident and ready to start on clients. Best thing I ever did. Wouldn’t hesitate to book any of their other courses

Amazing Academy!!

I trained at Brow and Blade in December last year. I can honestly say I've had the best experience with the academy and feel fully confident in my skills. Liv was so informative with our theory training. Racheal was assigned as my mentor for after training in the academy and the support I have received from her has been amazing and has given me so much confidence. They fact that you get ongoing support after your training, instead of being left to go it alone, is probably the best part about it all. You won't regret training here :).

Book with Brow and Blade Academy

Liv and the trainers provide a really enriching training experience. From the pre-study to the on-the-day training to the after care, they really are there every step of the way. I started my case studies 3 days after the course and I would never have had the confidence to do that if I didn’t feel the support from them or the trust in my training experience. I was a complete novice to this, so anyone of any skill wanting a new career should definitely book with Brow and Blade Academy! Thanks so much xx

The best training academy ever!

Olivia and the girls at Brow and Blade were so knowledgable and thorough with everything from start to finish! I had pre course nerves due to it being the unknown and the minute I stepped foot into the academy my nerves went. I’m so excited to look into training in more treatments and be able to branch into more avenues!

Honestly couldn’t fault the academy, Olivia or any of the other trainers. Had the absolute best time on the digital machine course and can’t wait to start my new venture. I will definitely be back to do the advanced course! X

Fantastic course in a beaut academy!

Fantastic couple of days, I don’t come from a beauty background but the pre coursework and the training itself was amazing and I felt fully confident at the end I could pursue SPMU! I did the digital machine course and Olivia was so knowledgable and the training girls literally could not be nicer. I would 1000% recommend the academy and come here again in the future to improve my skills!
