La Beaute/American Beauty

yellowcrayon

Does anyone have any personal experiences from La Beaute Training Academy or American beauty Training Academy (both in Cork).
I want to do a course in one of these so im wondering if anyone has any feedback.
Also, if there are any other places that offer make up artistry courses or hairdressing courses, please do tell.

(Looking for part time courses so College of Comm, St Johns courses out of question).

Thanks

You should have a look at Makeup Forever in Dublin, they do courses through out the year. Some are part time over a few weeks but they do one intensive week long course. I'm considering doing it myself I've only ever heard excellent things about it.
www.samanthachapman.com‏ are worth a look there they also do this amazing one week course, very in depth, only heard excellent things about it. It's in London but the amount they cover is worth the money. Both are extremely high end and use products like Nars, Mac ect. You get a kit also!
As for the hairdressing, I'm on the same page as you. I have an interview for a fetac course the end of March, fingers crossed I get it because I definitely cannot afford 12 grand training.

Not sure about American Beauty, but La Beaute is not an accredited training school, simply a beautician teaching a makeup course. I did a course with them,got an attendance certificate but no actual qualification, and the classes were very disappointing, plus it was fairly costly. If you want a qualification, the course in Cork College of Commerce is the one to go for, or LA Makeup or Portobello in Dublin.

Otherwise you might as well go to a highly rated counter like MAC or Urban Decay and do a course with them, you'll get the price of the course back in products at least.
