From intricate techniques to hands-on practice, every class was an eye-opening experience in the art of historical hairstyling. The teachers were patient, dedicated, and passionate, guiding us through each step with such expertise. I’m truly grateful for the chance to learn from the best! A special thank you to the principal, who took the time to speak with me and offer valuable guidance. Your support meant so much. And I can’t forget my fellow classmates, who made every moment memorable and helped me grow with their creativity and camaraderie. CBMA has given me the perfect foundation, and I couldn’t be more inspired to continue building on what I’ve learned. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to explore and deepen their skills in wig styling and hair artistry!

I came from Spain and I have absolutely enjoyed it. The teachers are very knowledgeable and I have learnt so much in a very nice environment. I really miss everyone. It has been a great experience. I am a makeup artist and I wanted to start learning with hair. Recommended 100% Lizzie McGovern2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I throughly enjoyed my 4 months here and recommend it highly. The tutors are all very kind and knowledgable, and do their upmost to help. The course covers a lot of material and makes you feel prepared, whilst also leaving room for creativity and fun. Petar and Zorica also help a lot, they make sure you are comfortable and steer you in the direction of jobs whilst you’re at the course and after. I met some lovely people at the course and really looked forward to coming in every day. Kitty Horsman2024-09-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed the 4 months course at CBMA and I loved it. The tutors have all been in the industry for years, so they are incredibly knowledgeable and great for boosting your confidence. We had many oscar winning tutors, and to meet them and get taught by some of the best in the industry was amazing. This course is completely practical so for me it was the best way to learn and get you started. The aftercare provided is invaluable and they really pride themselves on family values and keeping in touch with the students once you've finished. I couldn't recommend this course enough and I'm so glad I did it. Stacie Blyth2024-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the 4 months hair and makeup course and i absolutely loved it !! Petar and Zorica were so welcoming and so were all the other students. During the 4 months we had some amazing tutors and I learned so much from every one of them. I could not recommend this school enough if hair and makeup is what you want to pursue Lucy Ioannou2024-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently trained in the Textured Hair and Barbering courses to top up my skills and expand my knowledge. Both Petar and Zorica made me feel very welcome and there was great communication from the start. The tutors on my courses were brilliant and I came away feeling like I had learnt an inordinate amount in such a short space of time. CBMA is an excellent place to train and learn and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to start or further their career.

They were extremely clear with what they were demonstrating and was very informative. Will definitely be going there and would recommend the CBM to people Nelisha2024-07-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I learnt alot on the three week media makeup course then my one year previous makeup artistry training. Zorica and Petar were very welcoming and great people. Shame I didn't know about the 4 month one through screenskills funding sooner. Hope to return for the hair and wigs soon to advancing my skills aswell as casuality.
