Next Step Beauty Reviews 

Student cherry o’rielly 23599
I have done a fair few courses now and I’m happy to say I passed all with distinctions the next step beauty workers are amazing and very supportive same as Victoria my tutor I never thought I’d get to where I am today but I have thanks to next step beauty giving me the chance to study at home at my own pace THANK YOU 100 percent recommended

I really enjoyed Victoria Arpel's manicure course. There were 23 modules covering everything you need to know to carry out a deluxe manicure, including the health and physiology of the nails and skin and the manicure itself, including preparation, filing, cuticle work, hand massage technique, polish and/or French polish. Victoria's videos for each unit really complement the workbooks which all form part of the course and it is really good to see the various stages demonstrated. I found the multiple choice assessments for each unit a bit tricky at times because you have to get 100% to pass and it doesn't tell you which questions you have wrong, but if you ring up Next Step Beauty they will tell you which questions you need to go back and correct, which was really helpful. The gentleman I spoke to was really pleasant too. The final practical assessments entail carrying out 5 manicures: one finished with light coloured polish, two with dark coloured polish and two with French Polish and then submitting before and after photos. There is no time limit on completing the course and submitting your photos etc was all really straight forward.
I would happily recommend the course to anyone looking to learn the skills and get certification for insurance purposes. I am certainly looking forward to doing other courses with Next Step Beauty in the near future.

I genuinely can’t thank Victoria and Next Step Beauty College enough, for the quality of training and support they both provide.

While caring full time for my husband with terminal cancer, I am able to study and complete my chosen courses and qualifications around my caring responsibilities. My husband benefits from the practical skills and knowledge I have acquired and my client numbers are slowly increasing, as I now provide a wider range of advanced professional treatments and services.

My qualifications are also accredited by leading professional associations for full membership and insurance, and are recognised external which has allowed me to complete more advanced training in holistic and complementary therapies at various colleges and private training schools.

If you want to progress within the fast paced wellbeing and beauty industry, seriously consider Next Steps Beauty College.

Good school, very detailed video lessons.

I did a few courses and they were all really good. Great manual and guidance. The videos were also extremely helpful. If i ever had a question the reply from my tutor was quick.

Able to do course at own speed,get in contact for help or ask a question anytime,get a fast and friendly response.
Have a community chat page to find out others opinions and experiences and staff of nextstep chat and help

Purchased the nail tech course, there’s a lot to learn & I am slowly working my way through I can learn at my own pace & time & this fits in with my current job & kids etc.
The videos are full of information, I have learnt so much already. There is always someone to help if needed. So far I am very pleased & would recommend. I would definitely treat myself to another course once I have completed this one.

The customer service is amazing. The courses are brilliant and easy to follow. Victoria is always there when you need her.

I Took the NSBi Microneedling course .I was definitely not disappointed ,its more than worth the money .
The info and coarse work involved is very indepth and informative ,the video's are brilliant again very informative ,give an exellent view and detail throughout the film.The way the process of the coarse is set out is brilliant you have to work through each stage befor being able to move on to the next ,its great you can do at your own time .I found their online coarses work for me as I can fit them in between my work instead of having to take time off to attend coarses .I believe you get a better indepth training this way .100% recommend it.

Modules are so easy to follow. Assessments are quick to get back, help Is always on hand if you need it and you are able to connect with a large group of students going through the same process.

Really enjoyed the gel nail course,the video tutorials make it very straightforward and clear.theres alot of detail given and if ive needed support from my tutor its been very easy to speak to her and have my questions answered.i love that i get as much time as i need as i dont have much free time!!

Absolutely amazing company!

It is very straightforward to follow and ideal as I'm a full-time mum, and I could fit the courses and practise in around nap time and bed times. I will definitely be using them again in the near future to get some more skills under my belt!

Would 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to learn from home.

I booked the ultimate beauty course, was something like 10 treatments. Long intensive days training, models and equipment provided. Paid the money, apparently they didn’t have enough trainees to warrant running the course the following month, so I’m put back to the next one.. heard nothing.. I chased them - same situation. This went on for months. Then I was offered to do it online, with my own models for a cheaper reduced price as they didn’t know when they’d run the course and wouldn’t give me a refund because I had already looked at the written material!!! So what choice did I have? I couldn’t find the vast amount of models I needed. I didn’t have all the equipment. It was a disaster.Paid a lot of money for a course that was never going to happen and I get the feeling this is how they do business!
So, if you want to actually train in something, I’d definitely give these guys a miss!

It is a scam company. AVOID AVOID AVOID...
Like all the negative reviews they scam you over their conditions and terms are horrible. Cannot believe this company still exists. Left them a review on Google too, they have 1.4 out of 5 stars - this speaks for something. Had the same situation like many others. Booked my course way before Pandemic, in September 2019, supposed to have a venue in Bristol in November, cancelled. Then moved to January 2020, cancelled. Then offered a place in Southampton, which for me working part time mum of 2, with husband working full time was just not achievable. I've got 30 minutes to Bristol, 2hrs to Southampton. Then Pandemic hit and all venues have been cancelled. I eventually did the full Nail Technician, but it was only my good will. And what happened when I've ordered the self-practice equipment (I think it was over £400, so not a small amount) they ripped me off some stuff. When requested them, they said they will send when back in stock. Some arrived, but still missing. A total SCAM this company is. Try to AVOID AVOID AVOID as much as you can... Is nearly £1000 worth for a self-practicing online course?? Nahhh, no way, NSB you scammers!!!

Firstly I submitted my gel polish course on Monday night and received my certificate YESTERDAY! Just 3 days later!! And I wasn’t expecting the results back for 2 week!
I then sent them an email, and within 20 minutes I had a reply and my request was sorted.
Shortly after I THEN got a phone call from Jessica who is part of the team at next step Beauty, personally congratulating me on passing the gel course! Fantastic service! Couldn’t fault them!

I have purchased many courses which include bamboo massage, Indian head massage, manicure, eyelash extensions and a few others some I've completed others I have not although there's no stress as to when you complete home study courses, there is alot of in-depth knowledge in these courses to plus you get a choice as to whether you home study online or you have the option to have in class on online classes which I feel is awsome and suites each individual I would highly recommend these courses.

A fun course to complete. Learnt some great tips. Highly recommend if you wanted to please your clients.

These courses are fantastic really in-depth and Victoria and her team are beyond helpful with any questions or information you need. Nightly recommend.

I've signed up to do several courses with Next Step Beauty and I've passed my Pedicure, Manicure, Gel Polish and E-File courses so far. The course content is really easy to follow, even for beginners and there are a mixture of written resources and videos to help you learn. The support with Next Step is phenomenal and the courses are all insurable and accredited. I'm looking forward to a new career in beauty thanks to Next Step, highly recommend this learning provider.

I have just completed my biab course with next step beauty, which was great as always. This was my 3rd course I have enrolled on with them. I find the whole training system so easy to use and think the set up is fantastic. Plenty if information, training manuals and videos to follow and watch. I always have a quick response if I've had any questions or issues and find them very helpful. I have already enrolled on my next 2 courses with them!
