Testimonials of 4 Month Hair and Makeup course student
“As a fairly mature student at 37, I chose to change my career after years of deliberation. I knew CBMA was the place for me. The warm welcome, the small groups, and the kindness & support after, it was a no-brainer. Since graduating in December 2021, I was lucky to be taken on as Wig Assistant on “Singin’ in the Rain the UK tour”, which is due to finish in August. Whilst being on the tour, I have since been promoted to Deputy. After finishing I hope to continue my career and go into film and tv.
The tutors at the school are second to none. I would have never gone anywhere else. Thank you CBMA!!!!”
