Classes are small groups (max. 5 people) so we guarantee you personalised and focused attention from the teacher that you won’t receive in big group classes in other schools.

1 class per week: Complete one course first (Makeup or Hairstyling) before starting the other.
2 classes per week: Take one class in Makeup and one in Hairstyling each week, or focus on one course with two classes weekly to complete it faster.
3 classes per week: Combine two classes for one course and one class for the other each week.
4 classes per week: Attend two classes of Makeup and two of Hairstyling each week for the fastest completion.
Personalised Private: We will adjust the classes for you to finish as fast as possible or according to your schedule (subject to availability, special rates apply) just ask!
Personalised Express: Daily classes to complete the program in the shortest time possible. Ideal for international students or anyone who wants an intensive format. Maximum 2 payments (one at booking, one at start).
