“I qualified in the level 4 Microblading with Emily over a year ago now at Blades Academy. The past year has completely changed my life. After previously being a prison officer and being unhappy in a typical ‘good’ job I was able to leave and pursue my dream of having my own business and having control over my own life. I was lucky enough to have Emily’s undivided attention as it was 1-1 training and almost straight away I was comfortable and confident in my abilities to Microblade on my own. Starting the business was scary as at first I did have the occasional thought of ‘would this work, am I doing the right thing’ and I’m sure lots of you would think the same, however I set myself a goal of 4 clients a week, 16 a month which would cover my previous monthly wage quite comfortably. In only my second month I had 58 clients which blew my mind. And I’ve been busy ever since, building my business and growing every month. But more than the money I’ve loved being my own boss and having the freedom to choose my working hours and be flexible. I’ll happily work 7 days a week now because it doesn’t feel like work, and it’s very rewarding in many ways.. 
If anyone is thinking of taking the plunge don’t hesitate to contact Emily, not only is she lovely, I know she’s still at the other end of the phone if I ever needed 12 months on! Whether you want a change in career or want to expand the treatments you already offer then I do highly highly recommend the Microblading training at Blades. I’ve also now qualified in Advanced Dermal Fillers, again.. thanks to Emily, and her sister Hannah”.

“Today i completed the 2 day microblading training with Emily and her team, the support and training i have been given has helped me develop and master the microblading technique. Emily is more than willing to help you practically or with any questions you have; also i have been assured i will have continued support after the course is over to help me set up my own business in microblading which to me is very reassuring. The 4 models were great to work with over the 2 days and i felt the more clients i worked on the better my understanding/ knowledge and technique developed, also being able to take before and after photos will help build my portfolio. I have enjoyed the course even though at first i felt a bit out of my comfort zone, it will be a very rewarding and exciting career change for me and i feel more prepared to persue this dream from the excellent training i have received. Thank you again x”

I feel I’ve had excellent tuition with one to one training with our models and can’t wait to get my business up and running. Feeling confident with everything that I’ve learnt and the continued support I feel I’ll continue to have. Thank you so much x”

“Wow! What an amazing couple of days I have had. I have just finished my training course with Emily at Blades, and I am actually quite gutted it's over already. I was so nervous but put at ease straight away as soon as I met Emily (and team). Nothing was ever too much of an ask. No matter how many questions and how much help you needed she was always happy to answer and guide. Her work is beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. 
The fact that she has assured us that she is just at the other end of the phone even though the course has finished means she is an absolute diamond as well as professional. 
Thank you for everything Blades, I've enjoyed every second x”

“Firstly I want to say emliy & student Lauren are lovely! there down to earth and were very reassuring threw out my time there. Lauren did my eyebrows while Emily was close by Guiding her I’m so happy with the results I actually have eyebrows! I was in alot less pain than I thought I’d be (bonus)The girls went threw after care with me and questions before I got them done 
I also done a patch test before the day had arrived just to make sure I wasn’t allergic to it

”The girls at Blades are amazing, so friendly and welcoming. I have attended both the lash and microblading with Nicole who is fantastic, I have successfully passed both. Very professional and informative. Microblading you do so many models, a lot more than any other courses out there. You learn so much and I have come away feeling confident to do clients. Highly recommended!”

Choosing these guys for my training was by far the best decision I've made so far. I finished my microblading course today, after having done my lash course here two weeks ago, impressed is an understatement. Both Emily and Nicole have made this experience a positive one, everybody there is easily approachable, welcoming, and helpful. Every step of the way, your checked on, given feed back, tips and advice and also criticism. I have to say also, the starter kits your provided are absolutely brilliant compared to what other companys are offering. This training has been worth every single penny, I've found a new confidence in myself, I'm happy with my work and I'm proud to have been trained at blades academy. Again, a massive thanks to the girls here, would reccomend these guys to anybody that's even considering this sort of training!
