What her students have to say:
​
Karli Van Tonder
“I enjoyed the opportunity very much and can highly recommend this course to other young people. It helps you to grow personally and teaches you how to be more respectful. It also helps you to get to know yourself on various levels. Through this course, I was able to learn which colours suited my skin type and what suits my body type. It also helps you to save money. I was taught which hairstyle suits the shape of my face and which clothes fits me best. I learnt more about the history of table manners and etiquette as well as how to communicate better with other people. It is a wonderful opportunity and an important one as it will always be relevant.
“I can highly recommend anyone to do this course as it makes you stronger for the future. It helps you to get yourself to know yourself better, know which colours suit you and teaches you how to respect others in different ways. This course was a wonderful experience.”

“My experience was wonderful and everything was very well organised. From the venue, make-up, skincare and the food were lovely. I learnt a lot in the three days. I can now say who I am as a person and who I want to be in the world. I have learnt how to be a woman and the values of being a woman. I definitely know more about fashion and makeup and the undertones of my skin.
“The most fun was etiquette, how to walk, eat, dress, sit and your attitude. I will always be able to keep the theory with me. I can highly recommend young women to join this finishing school. It helps you to feel better about yourself. You won’t be sorry, I promise! It will open doors for you later in life.”
