BIAB course reviews.
Reviews from students who trained in BIAB and nails with Demi, plus reviews from across the academy.
Just completed Demi's BIAB nail online course and I have to say that the level of attention to detail throughout the entire course, whether it was the tutorial videos or the slide show videos, was amazing. Everything is explained so well and it's all so easy to understand with Demi. 10/10 recommend.
I recently completed this nail course and had an amazing experience. Demi was so patient, explained everything so clearly and made the steps all so easy to follow. While doing my two days there were four of us completing the course and from the moment we all walked in it was so comfortable and we all had a lovely time learning together. I felt I was too old to start a course and Demi made me feel so much better about starting something later in life too. Since leaving the course Demi has made sure to keep in contact and make sure we are feeling ok since being there. There is also access to the videos after leaving in case we need to go over any information which I found so beneficial. Demi is such a wonderful person to learn from and I would highly recommend doing her courses. I will definitely be back for more.
I did Demi's acrylic and BIAB nail courses and honestly have nothing but kind words to say, the course is presented nicely, very detailed and so helpful for those who want to learn/start their own nail journey. Demi is a very kind instructor and is so helpful with anything you may need. Can't describe how happy I am to have done this course with Demi, thank you!! X
I had such a fun time at the BIAB and Acrylic nail course. Demi is so patient and showed me the techniques as many times as I needed. I met some really nice girls and have more confidence in doing nails than I ever have before! Excited to see where this course will take me and recommend this course to anyone looking for their next career path!
I recently completed Demi's online BIAB course and I couldn't recommend it enough! The information was super helpful! I have completed nail courses in the past but nothing compares to the information and learning involved in this course, it's brilliant and Demi was so quick to reply when I had any questions. I'm currently still completing the acrylic online course and will be sure to do more!
I did the BIAB course online with Demi, and I couldn't have picked a better trainer! She has been so patient with me and so helpful throughout the course, the theory side of it is done in a way that makes it so easy to understand. I really enjoyed it start to finish! I'm already looking to see what course I will do next. I would definitely recommend her and her courses to anyone.
My session with Demi was an extremely joyful and knowledge bearing experience. Demi is so patient and helps you to catch on details you would've missed out on. I definitely learnt so much from Demi and I am so excited to build on from the skills Demi has taught me. Thank you so much for this amazing experience.
I completed the BIAB course and had a wonderful experience. Demi was amazing, she was so supportive and helped me improve and perfect my technique. Also very kind with the small details like water, food, coffee and emotional support. I'm so happy that I invested my time and money in this course. It was absolutely worth it, and I would highly recommend it!
I'm doing the BIAB and acrylic nails course with Demi and she has been nothing but helpful from the beginning. She guided me through all of the different options of courses before even choosing one. I chose the hybrid option and it is super handy to learn all of the theory content from the videos online at home and then get to go in for hands on help with Demi. She's so lovely and helpful and is always there for any questions I have, I would 100% recommend any of her courses.
BIAB online nail course, absolutely amazing experience. Thank you so much.
Training with Demi has been a very valuable experience. As someone who had no prior experience within this industry, she equipped me with the skills I needed to get started. I've learned a lot and it shows in my work. I've received so much good feedback from my own clients. And I owe that to Demi's incredible training.
Demi is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I cannot recommend her enough. From the online theory to the in person practical she has everything down to a tee. Such an easy going, genuine, lovely girl and always there to help if and when needed. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to get into the beauty industry.
I've been in the industry for years and never realised my course wasn't accredited, so I did Demi's online course which was amazing. I've learned so much new knowledge. Couldn't recommend Demi enough, she was very helpful and helped me move forward with my career easily.
Demi was so helpful throughout the entire process from picking a course to answering any questions I had. The in person training day was so helpful, Demi shared so much valuable advice about setting up and growing our beauty businesses. I left the course feeling confident and assured that I can reach out to Demi for any questions I may have along the way.
I honestly couldn't recommend Demi's courses enough! She is such an amazing, genuine and helpful person who goes above and beyond to make sure you learn as much as possible. The course is so informative, and she explains everything so well, making sure you feel confident and supported every step of the way. Even after completing the course, Demi is still so helpful and always there to offer advice, answer questions and share her knowledge. You can really tell how passionate she is about what she does, and she genuinely wants to see everyone succeed. I can't thank her enough for all the help, support and guidance she has given me.
I really couldn't recommend Demi and her courses enough, she was so thorough and very knowledgeable in her line of work. I feel like the confidence this has given me is like no other, thank you so much.
