WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING...

I am from India and I have come all the way to be a part of this school.

At first I was not so sure because the visa was a big problem for me but they helped me with it and it was so easy for me to come into Sweden and join the course.
At school I learned everything about make up and hair from Runway to full body painting and I got a super big make up kit with hairstylist products, it was like a big present. I felt extremely happy after checking out the products so highly pigmented and vegan, it was a completely different and amazingly good experience.
And also, the teachers are so knowledgeable and supportive, they train you in all aspects of makeup and help you, I felt at home here.
