"Choosing the Professional makeup hair and nails course at BIFE gave me a great opportunity to learn skills in makeup nails and hair it taught me the key skills in all three. It is a great course for someone who doesn't know what career they want to go in as it gives an insight into three different careers. opportunity all in one you can then progress onto a course in more detail in one of the sectors if you have a preference, it was not for this course, I would not know what I want to do which is a freelance Nail Technician.
