We run our fast track and intensive courses in a salon environment where we have made the departure from old style training rooms with rows of beauty beds and training mannequin heads, to a live running training salon with real live clients for you to practice your skill on, giving you the most authentic and fully interactive experience.

As you walk out of our doors after completing your course you will not only have learnt a new skill and the theory behind that skill, but you will also have achieved the first hurdle – that of having treated your first client. From then on you will have already practised your newly acquired treatment sufficiently to be able to market your service to your existing and future client base with confidence.

‘Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand’. Giving our delegates full understanding of their desired topic is something that the London Beauty Institute is fully committed to. This is why we offer all of our delegates the London Beauty Institute Guarantee which is that if you feel you have not mastered techniques taught within our classes then you are invited back to retake the relevant course or part of course, free of charge. All our courses are designed to initiate full involvement of the delegates. You will also be given a manual to take away to ensure that you have something to refer to when you are carrying out your first treatments and soundly back up your knowledge.
