Please introduce yourself, and tell the readers about your beauty training experience?
My name is Christine, I am Canadian but have lived in the UK since I was a teenager. I went to boarding school, then straight into nursing when I was 18, qualifying as a nurse when I was 21. I have lived in Essex and North London most of my life. I have worked in various other jobs in London, Sky TV, Advertising and the recording industry, but now I retrained into the beauty industry and now happily in the right career, I have remarried and living in Milton Keynes.
What got you started in the beauty industry?
In 2008 I left my 1st husband, sadly the marriage just wore out (but we are still friends). I wanted to support myself and needed to learn something quickly so I could do that. I have always loved beauty and make up and came across lash extensions through my beauty therapist who told me it’s “The next big thing” but there weren’t many companies offering lashes or training in lashes. I eventually found a company in Essex trained and qualified with them in 2009. In those days when lashes first came to the UK lashes came in little bags and there were only a few curvatures to choose from, you needed to use cross tweezers to pick up the lashes; the lash industry was in its infancy. In 2012 I heard about the new Russian Volume technique and I just had to learn how to do this, even though we trained with thicker lashes than we use today for Volume, it was ‘all about the fan.’
I am now an Advanced Lash Stylist and Trainer & Assessor for KG Professional.com
Where are your Milton Keynes beauty courses located?
I have a training room based in Fenny Stratford (Capa Hair 2nd floor, 44 Aylesbury Street, MK2 2BA) in Milton Keynes and my company name is Gigi Jordan Lashes named after my sister Georgette and my logo is my favourite picture I have of her. I also offer in house salon training through KG Professional.
What makes your Milton Keynes beauty training different from other Milton Keynes beauty courses?
I truly believe the best lashers come from the best lash training. There are lashers out there that just don’t know the basics (it’s not their fault, they just weren’t trained properly) and because of this the quality and application of their lash extensions damages the natural lash for several reasons. Everyone has lashes of different lengths, thicknesses and curvatures and if you want to be the best you have to train with the best and you have to know the basics, from the lashes to choose, the thicknesses and lengths as well as the correct application method, correct glue amounts, not everyone can wear the same lashes! Find a training company and trainer who is as passionate as you are and that you have a connection with. I will teach you the do’s and don’ts and explain why, there’s a lot to learn, a good trainer will mentor you, support you through your lash career because this industry is forever evolving and getting bigger and better.
Why should people choose KG Professional for beauty training in Milton Keynes?
All lash courses cost money some are cheaper than others, some online and class based, 121 or lately on Zoom however, when choosing your course ask yourself what you are getting for the money you are spending? Cheap is probably what you are going to get if you base your choice on cost, is that really what you want when you are starting a business as every thing you do will have an impact on you and your reputation. Booking your courses with KG Professional.com gives you: unlimited support, our help doesn’t end at the close of your training day, we will support you, we will follow up, we will advise you if you are starting out in your career and business.
KG Professional also offers 10% discount on all products you buy from us ‘forever’ free listing on our KG Lash Finder, and our private students face book page, 1 years free subscription to Lash Inc.

We offer a variety of courses to choose from, Lash Extensions, Brow Lamination, Lash Lift, Gel Nails, KG Brows and once you have trained with us we will help you to become a Trainer yourself with our AET Teaching qualification.
Choosing me Christine, you will get either 121 training in person on Zoom or group training if you prefer. Whether you are at the beginning of your lash journey and starting out or expanding your skills, I will help you every step of the way, anyone can lash if you have the patience to learn as it takes practice at the outset. I have had years of experience and have come across every single lash mistake out there. I am here for each and every one of my students.
What can people who sign up for Eyelash courses in Milton Keynes expect from training with you?
I have a passion for lashes and love teaching above all else as I want to be the best that I can be and give my students all the knowledge and experience I have learned as easily and clearly as possible. To be confident in your ability is half of it and hands on training is my preference where I can see you and guide you as you learn this new skill from the first time you pick up your tweezers to placing your 1st lash extension on your client to rebooking them in for their next infill appointment. I am there to help and guide you to answer any questions you may have, and on successful completion you will be awarded your KG Professional Certificate at the end of the training day.
What can people who sign up for Brow and Lash Lift courses in Milton Keynes expect from training with you?
Brow Lamination and Lash Lifting are the next most sought after skills you can learn next to lashes as it’s ‘all about the eyes!’ As in Lash Extensions there are Health and Safety procedures that you must adhere to and this ensures that your customers are safe in your qualified hands. From the client consultation and the clients suitability, to the patch test. I teach the theory in the morning and after lunch we perform the Lash Lift on 2 models to ensure that you are comfortable with the procedure and confident before the end of the day. I will be by your side throughout and I am there to help and guide you to answer any questions you may have, and on successful completion you will be awarded your KG Professional Certificate at the end of the day.
What can people who sign up for Russian Volume training in Milton Keynes expect from training with you?
You will have previously qualified in Classic Lash Extensions and will be ready to progress onto the higher skilled Volume technique where you will create lash fans by hand. There are several techniques that I will teach you and you can choose the one that suits you the most to help you create these lashes. All customers want the most beautiful lashes that are suited to their eye shape, lash amounts and this is what I will teach you. We will practice with various lash thicknesses and curvatures and theory in the morning and after lunch we will work on a live model. Not everyone can wear the same lashes, I will teach you how to perform a lash design consultation for every one of your clients no matter what age or ethnicity they are, your lash design will suit them perfectly, and this will set you apart from other lashers.
Which of KG’s professional beauty products do you recommend and which could you not live without?
For me it’s the lashes and the glues. KG Professional have just developed their Platinum lash range, they are on a foil backing and are the easiest lashes to fan, they don’t dent and are the blackest black and come in all thicknesses. The glues too are excellent to work with at all skill levels and all temperatures and I will be explained to you during the training. KG Professional will supply you with everything you need in your kit, enough to do 10 full sets of lashes to get you started, and when you need to buy more they will give all their students 10% off of every single order you place.
Any final thoughts for people unsure about signing up for our Milton Keynes beauty courses?
There is plenty of room for every lash artist and lash trainer in the world but to stand out from the rest you have to become the best and keep learning, it’s not about the price you pay it’s about the quality you get in return, choose the best.
