Re: Hair and Makeup Courses
If you’re paying 1000+ pounds/euros on beauty courses and still not getting an ITEC/CIBTAC/CIDESCO certification then you’re wasting your time, to be honest. I know you probably don’t want to make a career out of it but if you’re paying so much money, you might as well obtain an internationally recognised cert/diploma at the end of the course. Otherwise, it isn’t worth it. Even youtube can teach you how to apply makeup on yourself.
I know in the UK there’s plenty of desi makeup artists offering makeup courses but most of them are rip-offs. What can you learn in 8 days?!
I suggest you save the money for the next time you go to Pakistan. Join the Depilex Institute and do their professional course which is 2.5 lakh (£1,795) and 4.5 months long in which they cover skin treatments, hair and all kinds of makeup. At the end you get three internationally recognised diplomas. Their advanced makeup course is 1.5 lakh and 3 months long and the personal grooming course is 20,000 rupees and minimum 1 week long. These are the most recent price quotes and I was told these prices are fixed when in fact we have had guppans who’ve done the personal grooming course for 35,000+ rupees.
With z bridal, I will be getting a BABTAC certificate which is know globally. She is not a ‘rip off’ makeup artist, but a makeup MAESTRO. I’m sure you CAN learn within a week because if you couldn’t, these places would be open.
Some people can’t do a 4 month course with DEPILEX like me because I don’t live in Pakistan and even if i do go, there isn’t a DEPILEX where I live.
