What Our Students Say
“ WBS is the place to train!
Elizabeth Picart
The team is amazing and welcoming the moment you step through those doors. The environment is calm, and the atmosphere of the training rooms is relaxing. I recently completed the Advanced Electrolysis course, and I came away very confident and ready to go. The classes are well delivered, clearly explained, and questions are answered in detail by the tutors. I will definitely return for additional training courses in the future. Highly recommend. Thank you, WBS.”
“WBS really is the best training I’ve received. The standard of teaching is exceptional; the knowledge, skill, and wealth of experience Donna and Charlotte have between them shows in the delivery of their teaching. The lessons are really interesting and engaging, which enables you to develop your skills, in whichever course you choose to do.
I have found the lessons are designed to give you not only the qualification but the confidence and knowledge to manage your clients and business!

“I did my Level 4 Salon Management Training here. I absolutely loved it and cannot recommend them highly enough. I got to train with a market-leading semi-permanent makeup artist, and she was great! Donna and Charlotte, who run the school, are brilliant (all the staff are)
If you are looking for a training facility, this is the one! I will be back for further training in the future. Thank you”

“ Where do I start!

If you’re thinking of having some training, these are the girls to see !! These girls are amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting Donna and Charlotte 17 years ago, where my beauty journey began. Donna guided me through my beauty qualifications with such dedication, and I felt like she wanted me to do so well. Her teaching skills are like no other; she listens and helps in every way she can… I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be where I am today without Donna’s expertise in teaching. I’m now a fully qualified beauty therapist to level 3. Then I went back to see Donna to qualify in my teaching degree, and Charlotte helped me get the guidance and skills to be a fab teacher, and I now own my own salon and team. I can’t thank Donna and Charlotte enough.Book your training now!
These girls are so friendly and helpful xxx”
