EXCELLENT Based on 79 reviews kaysha8 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently trained with the lovely Emma, the course was spread across two evenings which worked perfect for me as a busy toddler mum. Not only is Emma amazingly talented in what she does, she is also the warmest most welcoming trainer I have ever trained with. From start to finish I felt at ease and had a really lovely time. I left her space feeling confident and very excited to offer the treatments to my clients🤍 Ann-marie Asplen11 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did an efile and BIAB course with Emma. She was fantastic, made me feel so relaxed. She was friendly and such a lovely tutor. I felt she gave so much encouragement and support to me during the day. I will definitely be back to do some other courses with her. If your thinking of booking a course with her then stop thinking about it and do it!!!

My treatment procedure would be so much better and easier to complete. Thank you so much Emma x Poi Haywood6 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredible experience learning from Emma. (The Ultimate Eyelash Technician Course + Lashlift and Tint.) She has such a calm and reassuring presence, which made the whole learning process so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Her explanations were always clear and easy to follow, even for more detailed techniques. She’s also super friendly and approachable, creating a really supportive atmosphere where I felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Honestly, she’s just amazing at what she does — not only is she highly skilled, but she genuinely cares about her students’ success. I feel so much more confident thanks to her training. Highly recommend! Lexy Jay22 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is a fantastic teacher! She got me through The Ultimate Nail Technician Course so quickly. Loads of support given throughout the course including both theory and practical. I’ve recently done a Nail Art Workshop, very fun and loved learning new nail tips and tricks. Today I did my Classic Eyelash Extensions training day. Emma is really helpful and plenty of support given🙂 Highly recommend Beauty Training South West! Xx chloe woodrow21 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of doing both my lashes and brows courses with Emma, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very start, she’s been incredibly patient, accommodating, and endlessly supportive. Emma creates such a calm and professional environment, which instantly puts you at ease — especially when learning something new. She shares so many helpful tips and tricks, and it’s clear how passionate she is about helping others succeed in the beauty industry. I left each session not only with new skills, but with a genuine boost in confidence. I’ve got my Russian lashes training coming up, and instead of feeling nervous, I’m actually excited and at ease — and that’s 100% because of Emma’s guidance and encouragement. If you’re thinking of stepping into the beauty world, Emma is the person to train with. 10/10 experience — thank you, Emma! 💖 fleur21 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
