Throughout my experience studying Level One Beauty Therapy, I was supported from start to finish from Kristie helping me through whatever I needed. Whether that being extra help on units I may have struggled on or personal one on one help that ensured me to do the best I possibly could within the diploma. Carrying on to Level Two,I started a placement which Kristie helped me find the one best fit to me. My placement has really boosted my confidence and gave me an insight on how things work/run in a salon first hand, making me feel more comfortable in going down the beauty industry path!
