Hiya

In my personal opinion no!! I trained with salon services for lash extensions, gel/acrylic/fibreglass nails and i also did nail art.. I converted to bio sculpture gel and lash perfect eyelash extensions and am looking into converting to cnd liquid and powder.. For me the products are just waayyy to basic now, they are fine for begginers and im sure some people get on with them and im not saying theres anything wrong with them either i just felt it didnt work for me.. Basic training and basic products in my personal opinion im sure others will feel differently But the trainers are absolutely lovely and will help if you need it.. and the courses will give you a basic knowledge of everything!!!!

Also im fairly sure they dont do a minx course it will be trendys and they are very different.. Cnd do the minx courses so maybe speak to them if its minx you wanted to do

Hope thats a bit of help.. Only my opinion of course and good luck with whatever courses you decide to do..

Hi Hun I'm in the same boat we are in blandford so closest to us is Poole and Bournemouth college I am a level 2 hairdresser and intend on doing my level 3 next year but until then I wanted to get some beauty courses done ie. Minx, eyelash extensions, waxing etc. The only other one I've found is creative academy but they are really expensive although it's apparently top class hope this helps, I however am still looking for the best slightly cheaper option as I have a family so pennies are scarce at the moment lol xx

No way! Stick with brands in house training or proper colleges. I ended up having to confirm what the nail tech tutor was training as she knew I had grown up in my Mum's salon for the best part of 20 years and knew more than the other pupils. Not professional at all and was in the conservatory of a Bannatyne's gym with no proper equipment.

Hey just out of curiosity urban spa are you in Richmond?? I'm totally just being nosey I've just moved away from catterick and worked in a salon round from urban spa, one of my friends works in it

I did a weeks nail course with salon services and it was a waste of money - I am currently re-training with another course and concentrated on gels. I just found it a little rushed with basic products - the reason I even figured this out is after joining this forum - salongeek has taught me far more than the salon services training did! If I could start from the beginning again (with out wasting the money I did early on) I'd do what it looks like you are doing and research on here before jumping in on somewhere just because it's cheek or close to where you live x

*cheek* not cheek

Omg! I mean cheap!!! Poxy phone!

Yes that's me! Did the army take you away from the area?

I have no experience of their nail courses, but I have to say I was pleasantly impressed with the recent lash lift and tinting course I did with Salon Services. I had heard some not good things, but the trainer was excellent and the information was very detailed and up to date.

Good luck
