Within the first 10 minutes of training with Jemma, I was already so impressed by her knowledge and how caring she is. She makes you feel completely comfortable asking questions and is incredibly helpful and supportive, taking the time to ensure you understand every step of the process.
I would highly recommend facial training with Jemma to anyone looking to learn in a supportive, welcoming environment.

Going into this course I knew nothing about acrylic nails, and even though only a day course, I learned so much in such a short amount of time; Jemma is such an amazing teacher in the way she explains everything, rights as well as wrongs. If given the opportunity to, I would definitely love to return to continue further training in the future. Highly recommend!

I did the Swedish Body Massage course at The Beauty Academy in Reading, and it was such a good day. Our tutor, Jemma, was amazing. She made everyone feel relaxed straight away and explained everything in a way that was easy to follow. She didnโt rush us, and she checked on each person to make sure we were doing the movements correctly. She really cared about us learning the right way and feeling confident before moving on.
It was a friendly atmosphere and a really positive experience. Iโd definitely recommend this course and especially Jemma to anyone thinking about learning massage.

I have just completed a 4 day nail course at your Reading venue. I completed Manicure & Pedicure, LED & UV gel extentions, Gel Nails and Acrylics with Jemna. I had such an amazing experience.
Jemma is very knowledgeable and experienced. She was welcoming, kind, patient and good fun to be around. Really grateful for her making this experience so enjoyable and looking forward to my next course and my new career.
The venue itself was clean, tidy with a good wide range of courses and fully stocked and ready to go, with everyones desk prepped and ready to go.
Would highly recommend this place for your next adventure and learning experience.
