 Trustindex 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! ☺️🫶🏻

 Trustindex 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!

She really explained it all in a way that was easy to digest. I had so many questions and she answered them all and it was an all round lush experience. Thank you so much Emma. I will definitely be back for more training

I’ve not touch acrylic before, so it was all so new to me.
I’m so excited to get started on this new part of my life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I trained with Emma on gel nails and spray tanning and I cannot recommend Beaty Training South West enough. The courses are really thorough and fairly priced, and Emma is great at talking you through each stage of the process. Thanks Emma!
