Training · Stevenage

Leave able to work, not just certified.

One or two students at a time, in a working studio, on live models, with the same liquid and powder I put on paying clients every day of the week.

Why small

Six people in a room is a demonstration, not a lesson.

You cannot learn bead control by watching someone else do it. You learn it by doing it wrong about forty times while somebody who knows what they are looking at stops you at the right moment.

That only works with one or two people in the room, which is the whole reason the courses are the size they are. It also means the dates go quickly, and I release them a month at a time.

The courses

Three ways in, depending on where you are starting.

Every course is taught in the studio in Stevenage. Kit is included and it is the kit I actually use, so what you practise on is what you will buy afterwards.

Beginner
4 days

Acrylic Foundation

Prep that stops lifting before it starts. Tips and forms. Bead consistency, ratio and timing. Building an apex that holds. Shaping to stiletto, almond, square. Infills and a safe soak-off. You finish on live models, not practice hands.

£POAKit included
Beginner to advanced
3 days

Classic and Russian Lashes

Mapping to the eye in front of you rather than to a chart. Isolation, which is the whole job. Classic application, then hand-made fans and volume weight. Retention, aftercare, and what to tell a client who rubs her eyes in her sleep.

1 day

One to One Refresher

You bring the problem. Sets lifting at week two, apexes in the wrong place, fans that will not close, or speed. We spend a day on that one thing until it stops happening. For technicians who are already taking money and want to charge more.

£POABring your kit

Dates are released monthly and there are never more than two students on a course. Message me with the one you are after and I will tell you what is next.

Afterwards

You do not get handed a certificate and left to it.

Everybody who trains here can message me afterwards with a photo of a set that has gone wrong. I would rather spend ten minutes telling you what happened than have you quietly stop doing it.

You will also know exactly which liquid, powder, primer and dehydrator you used, because you will have used mine all week. There is no mystery about what to reorder.

Two seats a course, released a month ahead.

Tell me which course and roughly when suits, and I will put you on the list for the next release.
