"I was worried about being a mature student but I felt welcomed by the tutors and students alike. I have enjoyed the practical aspect of the course and loved getting to work with members of the public during Salon days. This has given me the confidence to work in a local salon. I have loved being a part of Hair at Morven and would highly recommend this course."

"I loved the theory side of beauty as much as I loved doing the practical side. My confidence has grown and the course has developed my knowledge of many treatments that I can take with me when I progress into the beauty industry."
