Emma and Naomi are both incredible! From the moment I arrived I felt very welcomed and comfortable. Naomi was my tutor and she was so knowledgeable, supportive and helpful I did the female intimate waxing course. She makes sure you have everything you need for the course and explains everything clearly in a way that helps you understand and remember it. I feel much more confident in my skills thanks to her guidance through every step. i would definitely recommend Beauty Training South West to anyone looking to start there career in the beauty industry or to expand on their knowledge!🩷🩷Posted on Google![]()

Highly recommend Emma, I completed the efile pedi course. I came away feeling really confident and really enjoyed the course. Emma is great, she takes time to go through everything fully and re visits anything you’re unsure about. I have also left feeling there’s still support there if I need anything which is so rare, normally once you leave a training course you feel like your on your own but not with Emma. Highly highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Such a fab evening! My courses with Emma have all been great! They are so thorough, whilst still having some fun while you learn! The nail art course was a great evening full of likeminded people. I took so much away with me and can’t stop practicing! Thank youPosted on Google![]()

Such a brilliant nail art course! From the moment I arrived, I received such a warm and friendly welcome. Emma and Leni are both absolutely lovely and create such a relaxed, positive atmosphere where you instantly feel comfortable. The training was fantastic, really informative, easy to follow and delivered in such an encouraging way. I came away feeling much more confident and inspired to put everything I learned into practice. Thank you both for such a lovely experience. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to improve their skills! 💅✨Posted on Google![]()

I did the facials course and it was amazing! Naomi is brilliant - such a great teacher and clearly so passionate about skincare. I can't recommend training through Beauty Training South West enough! Thank you Naomi and Emma xPosted on Google![]()

I have recently attended and completed a beginners facial course with Emma and Nai and from the moment I arrived they were so welcoming and informative. As a total beginner into the beauty world I left the course feeling excited and confident with what is to come next. I will definitely be back to do further training!! 100% recommend!!
