Testimonials

I really was so nervous about the Barbering week at the Makeup Academy; but I need have been! By the end of the week I was cutting a clipping men’s hair, with confidence. When I look back I still find it hard to believe. The Academy and Tony just gave me confidence to believe in myself and to do it.”
