THE PRACTICAL TRAINING AND SUPPORT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED Right from the outset, our training is focused on performing treatments and delivering results. You will be overseen and supported every step of the way.

www.nouveaucontour.co.uk

All this is underpinned by our fantastic support mechanisms. These include comprehensive reference manuals, extra workshop time to perfect your skills, phone and email support, and even personal mentors when you reach Advanced and Elite levels.

“I qualified within a few weeks of training and started earning straight away. I easily made back my training costs, and now I can work the hours I want. It shows how quickly you can turn things around. I did lots of research before deciding which company to train with. I think my experience has shown that you get what you pay for.”

“Although Nouveau is a big company, they provide a genuinely individual service. I have dyslexia and they couldn’t have been more helpful in adapting their training to meet my needs. Due to that support, permanent cosmetics and medical tattooing are now an important part of my business, and I even sometimes help them as a teaching assistant. Whatever the obstacles, you can be confident that Nouveau will help you through it.”

“I was a tattoo artist and wanted to move into permanent cosmetics because of the higher earnings potential. I was a bit sceptical about needing more training days, as the other companies promised to do it in less. After meeting Karen on an Insight Day, I felt that Nouveau’s comprehensive training and support package was the only one that covered all the essentials –even for me. I chose Nouveau and it’s exceeded all my expectations.”
