Testimonials

I trained with Sharon many years ago to complete my spray tanning diploma. I decided recently to further my skills by adding on some holistic training and knew Sharon was who I wanted to go back to for this. 

She has a lovely cosy salon to train in which provides a great atmosphere and Sharon makes you feel very welcome and relaxed whilst providing all the help you need to learn and pass your assessment. I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking to further their beauty and holistic skills. I have completed several courses with Sharon now and will return again in the future. Abby Jan/Feb 2025

Having completed two courses with Sharon lash, and brow treatments, and lash extensions at the beauty school I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of doing some training to contact her.  I didn’t to want to train in a collage as I have done so in the past and wanted a more personal approach.  I have had one to one training with Sharon in a lovely, and friendly environment.  I have now gained the certificates I needed and would have no hesitation to continue to train with her in the future. – Suyin.


I have trained with Sharon in Lash extensions and found her to be very professional and friendly.  Her beauty retreat in Niton is in a beautiful spot, and is very well equipped and comfortable.  I hope to train again with Sharon in the future. – Tina Lettington


Would like to thankyou for a great training day in Lash extensions both Louise and I enjoyed the whole day and I would recommend it to anyone who thinks they would like to do it, the day was informative but enjoyable at the same time as Sharon Came to our salon. – Lucy/Louise Peace Salon Plymouth August


I felt very at ease all day having a one to one training in professional and very beautiful surroundings.  I loved every minute of the day would definitely come back for more courses having one to one training is so much better as you learn much quicker than in a class with a lot of students that’s my opinion. – Helen


I have learnt with Sharon Eye lash perming in a relaxed learning environment with the correct techniques and trouble shooting really enjoyed having just 3 of us in a group as not so hectic like a college environment with support, professional and helpful enthusiastic and motivated explained subjects. – Sarah


It was really great to have one to one training in Rebel nails everything was explained clearly and I was also trusted to work on my own when I felt ready without some one looming over me.  The salon provides a relaxing atmosphere to learn in and I feel confident to fit rebel nails. – Cheryl.


The salon is a comfortable, professional environment with rare one to one tuition catering to individual needs rather than a classroom environment.  I had a practical and application technique training on facial therapy with good advice on managing different clientele and the difference between book learning and salon experience.  Sharon is very adaptable to students needs and appears passionate about her teaching vocation, I felt this was a good way of learning as you can study in a more intensive programme or at your own pace which suits todays lifestyle for many in facials. – Jo


I really enjoyed my Manicure course having one to one and having a taster in nails previous it was enthusiastic, motivating, professional, supportive with subjects explained well I have booked more courses. – Victoria


I would highly recommend 1-2-1 training I have learnt so much I don’t feel that I would have had that personal professional support if I was to of chosen a college based group training and the techniques and total understanding and general knowledge of the treatments I learnt was excellent. – Becca.


I have been doing courses with the Amethyst Holistic Training company who Sharon teaches for in Lash brow tinting, perming, Waxing, Facial Massage with Sharon I came away feeling I was very confident to go out and perform treatments I enjoyed it very much all the courses are in depth that provided me with support, enthusiasm, motivation, and subjects explained well and Sharon is very friendly helpful and relaxed I would definitely recommend training with her to anyone I am coming back to learn more courses soon. – Laura, August 2011

I have found the learning in Manicure, Gel nails an amazing learning experience with excellent professional advice and support with Sharon being helpful and patient. – Kayleigh


Coupled with the training supplied, Sharon provided me with insight, and expertise beyond what was expected with training I felt thoroughly at ease on entering the salon learning Manicure, Pedicure, Gel and Acrylic nails, Rebel Nails, waxing, Lash Extensions over a period of learning days Sharon provided me with clear objectives each day and ensured that I worked to the best of my ability the salon is clean and tidy and an inviting place to train.  One of the important things I learnt throughout during my training is cleanliness of the work station being a therapist is high importance and client comfort.  I have been thoroughly impressed with Sharons training at Beauty Necessities with training with Ashwood academy modules I have found the courses in depth, coherent, communicated well and encouraging.  The courses are intense and quick paced but there has always been the opportunity to ask questions or ask for repeat of aspects if I was unsure.  Whilst the courses are short support is offered longevity as Sharon has given me the offer to return or phone for advice if I am unsure on anything I felt this support was invaluable to me if I need it.  I thank Sharon for all the effort and time she has provided me and look forward to doing more courses with her in the near future. – Samantha
