I never expected to want to go into the beauty industry, but after searching for weeks for college courses that would work around being a full-time mum, I stumbled across Laura Bell Academy. I decided to give it a go and signed up for the Complete Lash and Brow Course. When I went to Laura’s salon for the training, I was so nervous as I was completely new to this. However, she was so welcoming and warm that I instantly felt at ease and thought, “I can actually do this.” Laura is incredibly detailed with her training and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. She provides you with a full kit to get started and takes the time to answer every question you have. Ayla taught the brows and lash lift, and she was so lovely, funny and helpful. She really put me at ease and when I felt like I couldn’t do something, she reminded me that it was my first time and that it takes a lot of practice. She was very detailed in her teaching and always there to guide and support us. The whole experience was supportive, professional, and really boosted my confidence. If you’re thinking about starting in the beauty industry but feel nervous or unsure, I would highly recommend Laura Bell Academy. I’m so glad I took the step to do it!

Laura is the best! She is a brilliant mentor and comes across so positively and passionately about what she does. As a newbie to the beauty industry I couldn’t have asked for a better training experience thanks to Laura. Her training academy gave me such a great introduction with so much information, constant support and encouragement I am so pleased I chose Laura bell.

I truly enjoyed every part of this course. I came in a bit nervous, but Laura Bell Team made me feel comfortable and confident right away. The way the acrylic, gel, e-file, and manicure/pedicure techniques were explained made learning easy and enjoyable. I really appreciated the patience, encouragement, and individual feedback throughout. This course has boosted my confidence so much, and I’m excited to start using these skills professionally. The only thing I feel could make the experience even better would be having a little more practice time and perhaps offering recap videos of the demonstrations so we can look back on them afterward. I think that would really help reinforce everything we learned. Thank you for such a positive and supportive learning experience! xx
