Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 116 reviews Posted on Phyleta Sharrock9 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EMMA has given me the most amazing opportunity by offering a chance to train as a lash technician, which I was lucky enough to win! Because of this, Emma guided me through the entire lash course and supported me every step of the way, helping me gain my lash qualification. Emma is always there for you, making you feel so welcome and comfortable. She’s incredibly supportive, always willing to help, and gives valuable advice on how to improve — which makes such a difference. I would 100% recommend booking with her. She truly changes lives! ☺️🫶🏻Posted on shauna lord5 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed my Brow Lamination course with Emma in January.

I would use Emma’s courses for any future training as she’s extremely skilled and such a good teacher!! Her place makes you feel at home, Emma makes you feel super comfortable, she’s so patient and makes sure you understand every bit of the course🤍🤍🤍Posted on Laura Finlay3 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve trained with Emma for my gel nails, lash lift and tint and more recently a Korean lash lift. Emmas experience and knowledge in the beauty industry and the courses she is training is invaluable. When teaching you Emma is patient, and really supportive throughout the course. She takes time to explain techniques clearly and made sure everyone feels confident before moving on. Emmas training space is beautiful and professional. She makes sure you have everything you need for the day. The hands-on practice was especially valuable. I feel much more confident in my skills thanks to her guidance. I would definitely recommend Beauty Training Southwest to anyone looking to start or advance their career in the beauty industry!Posted on Georgie Barr2 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
