Hi Suzyc
Just finished the 4 days NVQ 2 course at Malvern and it was fantastic loved every minute of it definately got the bug now so intend to do some other courses.
The instructor is called Keran and she is lovely very down to earth.
It was nice as for the majority of the time theres was only 2 of us and the other lady was about the same age as myself so we related to each other quite well.
Day 1 is Manicure and Pedicure then late afternoon evening you do lash and brow this was a very long day as didn't finish until 8.45. Was alittle disappointed as expected it to include lash extensions.
Day 2 Facials great day loved it alot to take in.
Day 3 Make up we had another lady join us whom had no expereince. I think this hampered her a little in the beginning as we has covered make removal and the cleansing ritual before application the day before on facials.
Day 4 Waxing I was feeling less confident about the waxing than any of the other treatments but Keran was really supportive and encouraging.
We even had some models come in and we practiced on them as well as our selves.
Although it's intense your there because you really want learn. Just need to practice and practice some more.
You do alot on safety and hygiene and contra-indications, You do a test at the end and get a diploma.
Oh Yes the kit you get if you are doing the nvq is fab everything you need to get started,
I'm waiting now for my info on completeing the assigments etc for the NVQ.
Got to go back for Spa manicure and Pedicure on the 22nd May.
Good luck in your ventures and let me know how things are going.
