"Yesterday me and the girls did the acrylic training course. Kerry went through all the theory and made sure we all understood before moving on. We practiced before starting on a
model where Kerry walked around and asked if we needed help. 100% recommend the training academy if you want to start your own business x"
"Amazing experience yesterday at the acrylic training I completed. Could not of had a nicer tutor, she explained everything thoroughly and made sure everyone understood. I quickly learned the skill from all the thorough learning. Would definitely recommend x"
" I attended the acrylic nail course on Tuesday and cant recommend enough. The theory side of it was really informative and really well explained especially for beginners. Kerry made sure we were all happy at each stage of the application practice session. Highly recommend Millou Training Academy :)"
