I spent two years at SWC, and it provided me with the knowledge and skill set I needed for the beauty industry. The course gave me the confidence to return to work after 13 years raising my family. Their training and guidance made the transition back to work smooth and empowering. The beauty course opened doors I never thought would be possible.
