100% would recommend doing a course at King’s. Learnt more in a day than 2 years in college really well taught tutor and the staff are really welcoming. I’ve not been in the beauty industry for 10 years and the course has been full of updated information. Couldn’t thank the staff enough for the support before the course during and after!
