Working in the film and TV hair and makeup industry, I constantly seek ways to expand my skills on set. Barbering was an area I hadn’t trained in, and I recognised its importance in my field. After researching various courses, I chose the 9-week NVQ course at Thomas Lloyd Barbering Academy, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career.
As someone with dyslexia, traditional learning environments have often been challenging for me. However, from the very beginning Lloyd our tutor created an inclusive and supportive atmosphere. His teaching style is clear, patient, and hands-on, which made complex techniques more accessible and easier to grasp. He ensured that each student received personalised attention, adapting his methods to suit our individual learning styles.

The course was intensely practical, which was exactly what I needed. Working on real clients allowed me to build confidence and apply the techniques in real-world scenarios. The small class size meant that I never felt overwhelmed or left behind.

Now, I feel well-equipped to incorporate barbering into my work on set. The skills I’ve acquired have not only enhanced my professional capabilities but also boosted my confidence in areas I previously found daunting.

I can wholeheartedly say that Thomas Lloyd Barbering Academy is exceptional. The dedication to student success, the quality of instruction, and the inclusive learning environment make it stand out. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their skills in a supportive and professional setting.

I’ve enjoyed this experience so much. Thank you, Lloyd, you’ve been an amazing tutor. I’m so happy I came to this barbering academy!
