"Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the waxing course today, there was a lovely group of us and Helen made it a very fun and, of course, educational day. She is a great tutor and helped put us nervous ones at ease very quickly.

Got a girly day planned for my daughters tomorrow - not sure if they really know what they are letting themselves in for - so should be fun!

I'm sure I'll be booking on another course - if not a couple!"
Debbie, Exmouth

"I'd just like to tell you how much I enjoyed the courses and teaching. The courses are so well structured and you make the atmosphere so nice that the whole experience was really enjoyable and worthwhile - thankyou!"
Sue Turner, Merseyside

"The tutor was absolutely superb, she has great patience and works extremely hard to get everyone through. I am amazed at how much I learnt in such a short time."
Angela Keane, Glasgow

"I thought I would write and tell you how much I enjoyed the Facials course I attended on Wednesday 21st February. I arranged this course by telephone and found everyone I have dealt with to be most helpful.

Our tutor on the day was Julia. I was impressed not only with her friendly, professional approach but she clearly demonstrated a thorough knowledge of her subject."
Keith Williams, Swindon

"I am writing to you in order that your staff can be recognised for their outstanding organisation and customer care. I don't usually write such letters, but then it is rare to be treated with such care and to be given prompt attention.

I took the Nail Extension and Nail Art courses at the end of July. I rang on several occasions to check some small details and I was always given 1st class treatment and my queries answered straight away... and they have always been so helpful and very knowledgeable about the courses and requirements. Even when I have left answerphone messages they have not once failed to call me back. Their professionalism is shown at all times, even when I accidentally left some goods that I had purchased at the school, within 2 days they had them sent directly to my home.

I cannot say 'thank you' enough for the help and support shown to me".
Sian Edwards, Swansea

Some other feedback from the Web:

I would definitely recommend them. I did a couple of courses with them last year and am about to go back for more. I would just say that if you are planning to have a good future in the business it is definitely worth going on and taking the NVQ/IHBC qualifications. You stand in much better stead when finding employment. I am just coming to the end of my NVQ courses via distance learning with the Carlton and they have been very supportive throughout, always happy to give advice etc. Good luck, let me know what you decide. x

I also did my training with the Carlton and found them excellant. Im currently doing my IHBC however, wondered if I should also complete the NVQ? Any advice?
Ang, South Wales, 20 July 2005

They are very good I trained there with my electrolysis,they offer (IHBC)& (NVQ),providing you do home study and case studies.

I'd definitely recommend them. I did manicure, pedicure and make up with them and am going back in a few weeks to do acrylic, gel and fibreglass nails. You can get insurance straight away and through home study you can get NVQs etc. They are really helpful afterwards too.
