Sheral was an amazing tutor. There was so much to fit into the day but she structured it so cleverly so that we got to see her demonstrate every skill and had the opportunity to practice each skill as well. She stayed next to us so that she could advise if necessary. She was there to ask answer my millions of questions and was patient and very knowledgeable. Having a small group was great as we got to work in pairs and have plenty of time with Sheral. Sheral also had everything prepared for when we arrived and was constantly making sure we had everything we needed and helping to tidy etc. I would definitely want to train with her again!

Daniel Vernall – :
As a male therapist , I was worried I wouldn’t feel comfortable learning with a group of ladies , as the beauty industry is more often run by female therapists. I was wrong , each course I have been on has been great ..The tutors have made me feel at ease and the other students also made me feel comfortable.. I would recommend anyone to use the beauty academy for any learning . They are amazing, especially Rachel at Cambridge with whom I have completed most of my training with , she’s is fantastic. Calm , professional and thorough. I have completed 6 courses over the last 2 years and my business has gone from strength to strength . I’m always looking for the next thing to Include in my services and I always choose the beauty academy for my learning . All the tutors are an asset to the company and without them it wouldn’t be possible. My success has been created from my learning . 5 stars ⭐️ for all of the help . Thank you

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Jess was amazing, down to earth and really easy to talk to. She made us all feel at ease and relaxed, which made the learning so much easier. It was easy to see how much knowledge and experience that Jess has and she was very helpful with answering all of my questions. I can’t wait for my other courses, as I know Jess will be teaching me again. I would 100% recommend the beauty academy.

Alice Wild – :
I recently completed a Manicure & Pedicure training course with Katy, and I must say it was an excellent experience. Katy’s expertise and passion for nail care made the course engaging and informative.
Throughout the training, Katy emphasised the importance of health and safety in nail treatments. She provided in-depth knowledge on maintaining a clean and hygienic workspace, ensuring the well-being of both the client and the technician.
Katy’s extensive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the skin and nails was evident as she explained the different structures and their functions. This understanding greatly enhanced our ability to assess and address various nail concerns.
During the course, Katy guided us through the consultation procedure, teaching us how to gather relevant information and identify any contra-indications to the treatments. Her attention to detail and emphasis on client consultation equipped us with the skills to customise treatments according to individual needs.
The hands-on training for standard manicure and pedicure procedures was invaluable. Katy demonstrated each step with precision, and then provided us with the opportunity to practise under her guidance. She was patient and encouraging, ensuring we mastered each technique.
One of the highlights of the course was learning about luxury aspects, such as the use of heated mitts/booties and paraffin wax. Katy taught us their benefits and how to incorporate them into our services to elevate the overall experience for our clients.
Overall, I am extremely grateful for Katy’s expertise and guidance throughout the Manicure & Pedicure training course. Her passion for nail care and dedication to our success as nail technicians was evident in every aspect of the training. I highly recommend Katy as a trainer for anyone looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in the field of nail care.

I signed up for the one day course at the Manchester Beauty Academy. Being more advanced in my years, I was a bit apprehensive, but I needn’t have worried. Karen was an excellent tutor and made all of us feel at home. We made the most of her extensive knowledge gained from years of working in the industry. Karen was encouraging and reassuring. All products were provided for our use and we gained a detailed knowledge of their application and what techniques are required to successfully complete the treatments. I think I can safely say that all of us had a great learning experience with plenty of laughs along the way. the venue was easy to get to being close to Piccadilly station. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone considering taking the leap into the beauty profession at what ever level and for whatever reason.

I have to say, I have completed a number of courses with the beauty academy but this one I was most worried about my attention span or interest in feet. Alexia was incredible. Approachable, full of knowledge and moved at a great pace. Within the first session I quickly understood its just part of the job and I can do this. I am so grateful to have trained with Alexia and would encourage anyone else who is considering to do this course – to book! I hope to see you again and thank you for your time Alexia.

I’m on the vtct course and this was my first practical class. Karen is so nice and very clear when explaining things, and was more than happy to go back over anything when asked. She also gave great knowledge and information outside of the actual mani pedi information, such as good places to get products etc. she was just so sweet and lovely and experienced. also the atmosphere was so nice, everyone got on so well. Genuinely such a lovely day, I can’t wait for my next practical class, and I never thought I’d say it….but I cannot wait to get a hold of someone’s feet and get practicing!
