Class Schedule & Flexibility
Our program is designed with flexibility in mind. We understand that makeup artists and students often juggle different commitments, so we run our classes on a rotational basis.
Our program is designed with flexibility in mind. We understand that makeup artists and students often juggle different commitments, so we run our classes on a rotational basis.
Each class topic, such as how to tie a bridal bun, will be taught across multiple dates. For example, bun styling may be covered in 4 different sessions throughout the term. This means:
- If you miss one date, you can attend another session that covers the same skill
- You don’t need to follow a fixed order
- Students may learn topics in a different sequence
- You’ll still complete all core techniques by the end of the program
To ensure consistency and momentum, students are required to complete all 10 classes within 4 months from the date of their first session.
Our team will assist you with scheduling based on your availability so you can move through the program at a steady pace without stress.
