Katie delivered an excellent workshop for my Level 5 Fashion, Theatrical Media Hair & Makeup student group, providing an in depth insight into the industry and detailed techniques in knotting, measuring, fitting and styling postiche and wigs. Katie additionally set up a forum for the students to stay in touch & receive valuable feedback on the progression of their postiche pieces for assessment. Katie & I have remained in touch and she has provided invaluable work experience contacts and opportunities for my students and has become a good friend-couldn't recommend her highly enough! More...

I've just completed the Advanced Industry training course. I've done other wigmaking/fascial hair courses in the past but nothing was as detailed as this one.
I have learnt so much and have become more confident in wigmaking. Katie is very talented and a fantastic teacher, she has a very calmering nature and makes you feel comfortable in a learning environment. Any wigmaking training with Katie will be a great opportunity. I have really enjoyed the weeks I spent learning the art of wigmaking and have taken a lot away with me, I'm now a lot more confident working in the big wide world with the skills Katie has taught me More...

A few Years ag I was doing a Media Makeup course in Retford. Part of the course was done on Wig making. This is where I met Katie as she was the Tutor for this. She is a well accomplished Tutor and has a long list of clients in the industry. I can't recommend her highly enough, she is patient with everyone and no matter what your learning style is Katie is able to help and teach you the art of postiche making. More...

I finished the 8 week wig making course just before Easter. I went from somebody who had never knotted in there entire life to being able to knot a full wig. The course was fantastic with 2 students to 1 teacher, so if we ever got stuck Katie was always on hand to help. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn the art of wig making!!! xx More...

Katie taught me wigs as part of my media and theatrical make up courses in Nottinghamshire in 2004/5
She was easily the best and most accomplished tutor at the college and I remember we all loved her lessons. Her teaching style is precise and easy to follow and her knotting skills are amazing.
All that I learnt with katie has really helped me in my career and definitely aided me in previously working at the RSC, in the west end and numerous music promos and films. Because Katie works in the industry her skills tips and tricks are constantly up to date. I can't recommended her highly enough. More...

I have just completed the 8 week wig making course with Katie and I can't recommend it enough! I had been looking for a suitable course for a while and hadn't been able to find one that offers the flexibility that Katie's course offers. She is an excellent teacher and the class sizes were small (one to one is also available). I feel confident that I have the skills and knowledge to start working as an out-knotter thanks to this course. More...

Thank you to Katie for making me a perfect wig. I underwent chemotherapy 5 months ago and as a result lost my hair. Katie worked hard to have my wig ready for that moment which I was very grateful for. I have had continual support over the months and have appreciated her concern and professionalism. Would happily recommend her to anyone in my position, thank you Katie More...

I did the 5 day introduction to wigs With Katie and Amy and it was fantastic. I could only do 3 of the 5 days but Katie made sure she crammed as much in to those days as possible, I felt so much more confident even after the first day. I can’t recommend Katie enough and will definitely be doing another course with Katie in the future. X More...

I have done wig making a long time ago annd wanted to retrain, so I contacted Katie and have just completed Katies Intensive knotting course.
I thouroughly enjoyed it. I will definatly be doing the other courses Katies has in the future.

Katie is so easy to talk to and explains things in such a calm and understandable way.

I have learnt so much and the information booklets are very proffessional.
Katie always made sure she was available to talk to me when ever I wasn't sure about something.
I will really miss our sessions together, but I know we will stay intouch and she will be there to help me over the next year which is very comforting.
So the future is looking rosie. Thankyou Katie xxx More...

So where to start.... I contacted Katie late December regarding her industry training course which involved 8 weeks of training 1 day per week. After contacting (hassling shall I say) Katie advised me that the 8 weeks wouldn’t work for me as I worked full time. She suggested a week intensive course with home study prior to attending. She took into account my training needs and requirements and tailored a training package that suited me and her. 2.5 months of independent training at home with her guidance of videos/emails/supportive texts I embarked on the 5 day intensive at her studio in Leeds in March. A smiling face opened the door and it was ago with comfortable conversation, an endless supply of tea/coffee that we made for each other and her endless knowledge. I can say that this lady is trooper.. her knotting techniques, knowledge, her ability to multi task of teach and work was amazing. She has given me the insight to the wig making world which is invaluable. Not only did I receive the best training I could ever want she was friendly, supportive, constructive in her feedback and thankful/proud in what she is giving back. So.. Katie I thank you for last week. Defo a friend for life... More...

I have been a student of Katie's on the industry training course which I started last year. It was the best thing I did. Katie is a dream to learn from, she had patience with all my questions no matter what I asked and the ability to explain in a supportive way.
I have learnt so much on this course I hand on heart know that without doing this course I would not have the confidence or near enough knowledge to put myself out there as an outworker.

Katie also goes above and beyond, since completing the course I have secured knotting work and Katie is still happy to offer her guidance. A true reflection of the passion she has for the growth of her students within the industry.
Highly Recommended this course. More...
