What our students
say
Thank you all !
A special thanks to Belgin, whose support was truly amazing. She was firm, supportive, dedicated, and genuinely invested in our success. Her structured and thorough teaching style helped prepare us to become confident and capable beauty therapists. I now feel ready and excited to start my career in the beauty industry. Thank you being there for us throughout the course!!
Sana, the College Manager, was phenomenal. Her support throughout the course made a huge difference, and I’m so grateful for her constant help and encouragement, you made the course more enjoyable and it wouldn’t have been the same without you!
I also took the next step and enrolled in the VTCT Level 4 Laser & IPL course, and I can honestly say it was the best decision ever. The course was detailed, precise, and incredibly informative. Ellie, our tutor, was outstanding, so knowledgeable, patient, and professional. She created a welcoming and inspiring learning environment where we were all fully engaged and encouraged to thrive. Ellie answered all of our questions with care and clarity, and her warm approach made the experience even more enjoyable.
A special thank you to Nourehane, the Marketing Manager, who was also amazing, always so friendly, encouraging, and full of positive energy! We really enjoyed her visits and appreciated her support throughout the course.
Thank you to the whole LSBM team for an incredible learning journey. I’m truly grateful!
I have now moved on to the Level 3 Beauty Therapy and am really enjoying it.
