I strongly advise caution when considering enrolling with Cosmetic Couture. My experience with their Levels 4-7 Qualify Qualification course has been profoundly disappointing. In October 2022, I paid £5,000 with the expectation of receiving a high-quality education. They were more focused on the sale and advising me I need this qualification for my future. Unfortunately, the reality has been far from professional. Initially, Cosmetic Couture did not provide any terms and conditions, it is simply hidden on their website, and when I sought a refund due to numerous issues, they attempted to impose new terms retroactively. It is crucial to note that if you pay on a sale price (which is funny because all of their courses are on sale), it is non-refundable—a fact they do not clearly disclose upfront. The course was supposed to commence in January 2023 and conclude Level 4 by June 2023 yet by January 2024, I was still without a qualification and decided to withdraw myself from the course and seek other training elsewhere due to how awful my experience has been. Level 4 has been plagued with delays, a faulty online portal, and poorly executed materials, often copied from Google and fraught with inaccuracies. Practical sessions were repeatedly rescheduled. It is a disgrace. We were left to our own devices, with zero support or a point of contact. We experienced a high turnover of tutors—three in total—none of whom were adequately qualified for the levels being taught. This lack of continuity and qualified instruction significantly impacted the quality of the training. Despite multiple complaints submitted in August 2023, October 2023, and January 2024, and numerous follow-up emails in February, March, and April 2024, my concerns were consistently ignored. When I presented a formal complaint letter to Maxine, she initially refused to accept it until I asserted my rights. This experience left me in tears, feeling deeply disappointed and betrayed. The interaction was further exacerbated when Maxine and her sisters responded dismissively and without empathy. After seeking training elsewhere in level 4, I cannot believe the disorganisation of this course and how awful I have been treated. I am not the only one. This course started with 12 enrolled, however about 8 people also left this course due to the lack of proper training and all problems arisen during the level 4 course. They are also in the same position as me, no refund or even correspondence to their complaints. In summary, Cosmetic Couture has failed to deliver on its promises, neglected student concerns, and exhibited unethical business practices. I advise seeking a reputable and transparent training provider who can actually deliver this qualification to standard, to avoid the frustrations and disappointments I have encountered. Do not give your hard earned money with this company, because that is all they care about. Money. I wasted over 12 months of my valuable time and money, which I will probably never see again. I will now be taking this further, as they should not get away with this neglect when they claim they are UK's number 1 training academy. It is purely money driven. They do not care about student support. They do not have the proper practices in place to gain you your level 4, 5 or 7. It is also extremely concerning that they are in process of liquidating Cosmetic Couture LTD yet are still trading under Cosmetic Couture Education LTD with her sister Sharon, as the director. However, Maxine is very much involved as you can see from the website. They have taken my money and refused to acknowledge my complaints. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

It's easy to post a job & then check qualifications, other reviews etc. Trades people make quick contact usually too. This site makes me feel safer in trusting that a good job will be done once I've chosen a trades person.

If I could give zero stars I would. Do NOT buy from this company. They took 14.99 out of my account without my knowledge, said they would refund the money, yet still nothing and they cut off all communication still no refund. Absolutely disgusting company and would never purchase from them again! REFUND STILL WAITING

Have been on phone 45 minutes. Phone history of 3 months missing and totally unable to direct me on the website as to where to find. I know it is possible and customer support should not be in the job if they do not have the skills. Explained it was urgent and needed by my lawyer. Hopelessly inadequate. Said she would get supervisor to ring. They havnt.

Refresh renovations project “managed” my re roof a couple years ago now and we’ve been trying to get them to come to the table and fix the absolute mess the cow boy roofer Hightop roofing LTD of Christchurch did. They leave you in the lurch as soon as things go wrong all you get is generic reply’s from head office “we’re working on it, thanks for reaching out” it’s all lies. They even cut their franchisee off so they wouldn’t have to deal with my problems anymore. BEWARE of refresh absolute scam they take the lowest bidder and the worst tradies and when it goes pear shaped they wash thier hands of you

I just signed up with Spark, and I'm furious. I initially requested a tech to come to the property since it doesn't have an ONT. They promised that a tech would come on July 22nd. I took the day off to be available, waited until midday with no call. When I called for an update, they told me to contact Tutahi Fiber, as they're the ones coming to the property. Tutahi Fiber said they were waiting for an amendment from Spark. When I called Spark back, they admitted they were waiting to respond but couldn't promise when the tech would come. I was livid—I had taken leave, and they clearly didn't care. The next day, a field engineer called and arrived within 20 minutes, finally installing the ONT. My connection was supposed to activate by July 26th. Busy moving, I realized around 4:30 PM that my internet still wasn't active. They replied they would ask Tutahi to activate it. This should have happened in the morning! They said it would be activated within 24 hours. After 25 hours, it still wasn't active, and now they said it was scheduled for Monday. I've been without internet for three days. I regret ever choosing Spark. Horrible service—would not recommend.
