why you should used nest step beauty

Easy to understand video and handbook
Ability to use trainer hand for case study as not everyone has family or friends who would trust them with their diamonds (treat you nails like diamonds)

Poor

I was doing a nail technician course and I wanted to cancel and get a refund as I was not using it, I have requested 3 call backs and received no call back, no refund and they left me with no money as they took more than they should of aswell! Will never be doing a course with these and I don’t suggest to either!

Hi Caitlin,

Thank you for your review.

Upon looking in to your account i can see you have accessed your courses and are over 60% complete. Our courses are digital products and as such when the material has been consumed your cancellation options are limited and on this occasion we had to decline your request.

I can also see a late fee was added on to your account as your payment was over 7 days late. If students experience financial difficulties or expect the payment to be late, we encourage them to reach out and we can extend your payment plan or move the date to one that works for the student.

Fantastic course

I really enjoyed this course. I did my nail technician one with next step. I loved learning new things and if I needed to speak with anyone they got back to be right away. I like I can look back over my workbooks and any training material if I need to.

Easy and Flexible Course

I learnt so much from the course. This has helped me so much to have the in depth knowledge I need to provide a good service for my clients. It was very easy to follow and so flexible that I could do it around my kids schedule. Would recommend this course if you have a busy lifestyle. You could even login online to revisit any materials which I think is brilliant.

Courses are good

The courses themselves were good and informative, however I did find it hard to get all the information together before doing the courses. It wasn’t until I joined the group chat on Facebook that I learned I didn’t need to submit case studies. I tried contact the course administrator but never heard back. I’ve got one course to submit evidence for and I’m waiting to get the products for that. There’s no kits online so I’m finding it hard to find all the products I will need.

I found the courses with next step…

I found the courses with next step beauty extremely enjoyable. The way everything is set out so clearly and easy to understand. Very helpful advice and tips every step of the way. Easy to get in contact with if you have a problem. The tutorials are clear and you have lifetime access to them. I’ve often returned to them to refresh myself if I haven’t done something for a while. All in all I’ve really enjoyed my journey with next step beauty.

The course in general is good

The course in general is good. I fell behind with a payment, Farenough wack on extra £30 fee, which did not know at time they would do this so only had the course fee in bank not that plus £30 fee.

I actually can not access the course that was paid off ages ago, so you lose everything. I cannot afford £60 upfront, n there ain’t an option to to pay instalments either.

I contacted them back, misunderstanding on my part…..they was very helpful and helped me out, I should have gone straight to them. I am well chuffed about the courses I undertook, I will be booking another.

Professional Courses which you can complete around your schedule

I started my beauty industry journey with Next Step Beauty (in person training) in 2017 and over the years I have invested in several of their online courses. I love being able to learn at my own pace and watch videos again and again to improve my technique. Victoria is an excellent video presenter and always explains what you should and shouldn’t do and why. Delighted to have passed my Builder in a bottle course, given that there’s so much demand for this service nowadays. Next Step Beauty always have their finger on the pulse and provide in demand courses. Highly recommend.

Good good good!

The content provided is quite good, same as what you'd find in traditional beauty schools. I appreciate that it's offered online, making it more accessible. Additionally, the prices seem very reasonable for accredited qualifications, which enable me to obtain insurance for my business. Overall, it appears to be a valuable option for those pursuing a career in Beauty area.

Great course content

The course was great, included everything and the support team responded to all my question's quickly and efficiently. Love the fact that I can access the course info for life and refer back to it at any time to refresh. Look forward to doing more.
