I adore the team at Colour Cosmetica. They are a tight knit family and treat their clients the same way. Couldn’t recommend them higher.

It was a great class. Rebecca thoroughly explained the steps from client consultation, contraindications, procedures and techniques including how to interact with the client. It was very useful and helped me to be more confident. I enjoyed the class very much.
