Please introduce yourself, and tell the readers about your beauty training experience?
My name is Jenna. I live on the South Coast of England with my fiancé, and my dog. I have a beauty studio in Southampton, that specialises in lashes, brows and nails. I am so passionate about all things beauty – in particular, training others to step out of their comfort zones and learn a new skill, to provide a bright future for themselves and ultimately be their own boss!
What got you started in the beauty industry?
I have always been a fan of beauty and enjoyed regular beauty treatments. You would never catch me without lash extensions on! I have worked in the legal sector for over 10 years, and was primarily based in an office 5 days a week, working very long hours. Whilst I enjoyed this work, when I got engaged to my Fiance and started looking at our future together, I found myself questioning what my working life would look like when we started a family, which I knew I wanted to do in the near future. I took a lot of time researching options, and was told to look at doing things I enjoyed – lash extensions!
My intention was to train in lash extensions, and just work a few extra hours a week from home, to earn some extra pennies on the side and build up a small client base that I could continue in the future once we had children. I transformed my spare room into a beauty room, and off I went. Over a matter of months, my small client based kept growing, and I was lashing clients in my spare room most evenings and weekends! I couldn’t believe how quickly it grew. After about 6 months, I thought I would explore my options with renting a room in a salon, and I was lucky enough to secure a small treatment room in a local popular hairdressers. I worked every Saturday in the salon, and I was still working from home on the evenings! The demand was so much that I decided it was the right time to look for someone to work alongside me, so I found another lash artist to help with the overflow. Again, this grew so much, and after another 6 months, I was offered a salon space with 2 treatment rooms, to open a beauty salon. Fast forward to now, I now have 2 employees working for me, and a regular aesthetics nurse that holds clinics in my salon once a week! I am also a Trainer & Educator for KG Professional, holding training courses on both weekdays and weekends – which I absolutely love!
Where are your Southampton beauty courses located?
All training courses are held at my beauty studio – Glow Beauty Studio – which is situated at 1 Dart House, Neva Road, Southampton SO18 4JR. The studio is located just outside of the city centre.
What makes your Southampton beauty training different from other Southampton beauty courses?
Not only do I ensure the education provided to my students is of the highest standard, I also care about my students on a personal level and want to ensure they get the best out of their time with me. I go over and above when I train, to ensure that they leave their course not only feeling educated, but also confident and inspired to spread their lash wings and fly! I feel that I have gained so much invaluable knowledge throughout my beauty career, and being given an opportunity to share this with a student when training is exciting.
Why should people choose KG Professional for beauty training in Southampton?
When I was looking to be a Trainer for lash extensions, I was very particular in the brand that I wanted to work for. I wanted to work for a brand that not only provided high end training courses, but also looked after their students and provided long term support to them. KG Professional was just that!
The beauty of training with KG Professional is that it isn’t just a ‘lash course’. We tailor our courses to the individual to ensure they get the most out of the course on the day. We adapt our training styles to our student, to ensure they understand everything they are being taught on the day, and are comfortable enough to ask questions to get the most out of their course. Once they leave the course on the day, the support doesn’t stop – this is just the beginning.
I stay in contact with my students and contact them on a regular basis to see how they are doing, and if I can help at all. KG Professional also have a dedicated facebook group for all students, which is a safe open space to ask questions. It is always full of hints and tips from all of the amazing trainers, so students are never alone. We are here to provide support whenever it is needed.
What can people who sign up for Eyelash courses in Southampton expect from training with you?
As a Classic Lash Trainer, I like to make all of my students feel safe and welcome in my studio. I like to create a safe space, that no question is a silly question, and my students feel that they get the most out of their time with me on the training day.
All students are provided with an extensive training manual, and a beautiful kit full of luxury products to get them started on their lash journey. This contains everything they need to get going, so they can leave the course on the day and start practising.
During the Classic Lash course, we will spend time going through the theory of classic lash extensions, to ensure the client understands the method behind the lashes, and is also fully educated on the safety of lashes. We discuss so many aspects of classic lashes – from products, styling, placement, client consultation – the lot!
Once I am confident that my student has understood the theory side of classic lashes, we move onto the practical element. For most students, this may be the first time they have ever picked up a set of tweezers before, so can seem very daunting, but my job is to provide confidence and ensure my students feel comfortable applying classic lashes. My aim of the practical side is to ensure that my student can go away and apply a full set of classic lashes, safely and correctly.
I also provide all of my personal knowledge when teaching my students, so I give them hints and tips along the way of things that work for me, and anything I feel that can make their job easier.
After a course, my door is always open for a student to come to me with any questions, problems or advice they need!
What can people who sign up for Brow and Lash Lift courses in Southampton expect from training with you?
As a Brow & lash Lift Trainer, you can expect to leave my course on the day feeling competent and confident in performing either one of these gorgeous treatments!
I will ensure that you fully understand the theory behind these treatments – the health and safety of our clients lashes/brows is key, and that you are confident understanding what you are doing, before we carry out the treatments.
I will then guide you through the practical side, to ensure that you are able to perform a perfect brow / lash lift on your client. I will give you all of my hints and tips that I have learnt along the way, to ensure you perform the best treatment that you can! I am there to answer any questions that my students have, along with providing practical advice that my students want to know.
After a course, my door is always open for a student to come to me with any questions, problems or advice they need!
What can people who sign up for Russian Volume training in Southampton expect from training with you?
When training in Volume Lashes, you will already be qualified in Classic Lash extensions, and therefore should be familiar with the basis of lash extensions. I always spend time recapping over the basics and theory of lash training as a refresher, to ensure that my students are familiar with the contents of this side of the course, and we then move onto learning about volume lashes.
We spend a lot of time learning about volume lashes – what they are, how you make them, the different techniques, safe procedures, eye styling etc, before we move onto the practical side.
I am on hand to help you make beautiful handmade fans, which I will then teach you to apply safely to your client. Using a model, we then spend time together creating a beautiful set of Russian volume lashes.
All of my clients should leave the course feeling confident in volume lashes, so much so that they can leave on the day with their luxury KG Professional kit, and start lashing clients straight away!
Which of KG’s professional beauty products do you recommend and which could you not live without?
One of my ultimate favourite products from KG Professional is their Lash Shampoo. This is my go-to product every time, and my clients also love it! As a lash artist, it helps ensure that my clients lashes stay clean and healthy, and it is a fab product to retail so my clients can purchase it to use at home too. KG Professional also do a gorgeous little lash cleaning brush that compliments the shampoo perfectly!
Another favourite KG product of mine, is the KG Protein Remover Pads. I love using these before applying both lash extensions, or performing a lash lift. It is a quick and easy cleansing treatment that removes make-up, oils and dirt before going ahead with the treatment. They come in a handy little pot too, which means they keep for a very long time!
Any final thoughts for people unsure about signing up for our Southampton beauty courses?
I never knew how much training in lash extensions could change your life. What started as a side hobby for me, has now blossomed into a fully blown business, that is continuing to grow every day. The opportunities with having these skills under your belt, are endless.
When choosing a lash training course, make sure you choose one that doesn’t just teaches you to apply lash extensions, but also teaches you to be the best lash artist you can be. By choosing KG as a training provider, you will get just this and more. Find a company that helps you develop on a personal level, not just a practical level, to make you stand out from the crowd like we do at KG.
Anyone can do an online training course and become a ‘qualified lash technician’. By training with KG Professional, we can teach you to become a high standard, reputable, lash artist. You will form part of our community and this will open up a world of opportunities for your future.
Invest in you!
