I have now done three courses in newmarket and honestly cannot recommend enough! I was so nervous for the first one and now cannot wait to go back every time. The tutor is always so lovely, puts you at ease as soon as you walk in the door… doesn’t matter how many times you ask a question or need to be shown how to do something.. even when I’m wanting to throw a pot of acrylic out the window she’ll manage to make you laugh! Honestly cannot thank her enough for putting up with me. Only downfall is the e file courses being online otherwise I’d have been booking these too!

Kerry-Facial course

Kerry, my tutor today, was so funny, helpful, and kind. I really want to do more courses with her. She made me feel so relaxed and not nervous at all. The class today was amazing, and all the students got along very well. Kerry, you are a star—a fantastic tutor! I'm excited to take my next VTCT course with Kerry.
