I had such a brilliant experience on today’s brow lamination course with Kerry and Jayden. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the day, making everyone feel comfortable and confident.

The course was well organised, with a great balance of theory and practical training, and they took the time to answer every question without making anyone feel rushed. Their passion for what they do really shines through, and they created such a friendly and encouraging learning environment.

I came away feeling much more confident in my brow lamination skills and would highly recommend training with Kerry and Jayden to anyone looking to expand their knowledge. Thank you both for such a fantastic day!

Great tutor Kerry

I had Kerry as my tutor for three different massage courses and she was absolutely amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and has such a warm, friendly personality that makes learning enjoyable.

Kerry is very hands-on with her teaching and always takes the time to make sure everyone fully understands each technique before moving on. She never rushes through the content and is always happy to go over anything again if needed.

Amazinh course

What an amazing course! Kerry was a brilliant teacher. She was so knowledgeable and showed us step by step each part of the Indian head massage process which we then took turns carrying out with our partner. A very kinaesthetic atmosphere. The classroom atmosphere was friendly, chatty and very relaxed so we all felt comfortable to learn.

She also had lots of hints and tips which she shared with us about starting up a new business and wholesalers, insurance, furniture and lots of other useful information.

I have been on 8 other courses with the beauty academy (Swedish body massage, waxing, intimate waxing, manicure, pedicure, facials, day make up and evening make up). I will use them for any other courses I complete for my business. They are a brilliant company, and Chris and Kerry are fantastic tutors. Thank you!

Fantastic Experience!

Having completed one course with Anjula last week, and on another today. I am so glad I booked with The Beauty Academy Birmingham! Anj is fantastic at teaching and has so much knowledge & experience. Classes are very welcoming and I don't feel rushed at all. Excited to complete my other courses that I have booked 🥰
