Starter Kit: A kit is included in your training fee which includes antibacterial cotton thread that is specifically designed for Threading. Do not use normal cotton thread you may cut your client and the thread is not strong enough so it will snap during use. Thread provided in this kit is the Vanity Antibacterial Threading thread (click link for info).
You will be using your Tutor’s skin-care products in your practical work during your training day. Our training courses teach the generic treatment techniques and processes; they are not brand specific, so you are not tied to product brands used in training and are free to choose whichever brand of skincare you wish for your own client treatments. In some cases, your insurance may be invalid if you train with a branded product detailed on your training certificate and you then change to another brand therefore this is why we have chosen to train in this way.
We recommend attending training where you will gain advice about different brands and suppliers to enable you to purchase products from your chosen supplier directly following your training. Your tutor will advise you further throughout your training day.
