Studying Beauty Therapy and Advanced Nail Enhancements at Hull College was such a great experience. I loved the hands-on nature of the courses, which really helped me to build up my skills and feel ready to work in the industry. One of the best parts was getting to work with real clients in the college’s training salon, Salon QG. It gave me the chance to build confidence, develop my customer service skills, and understand what it’s really like to work in a professional salon.
