Meet the owner

My name is Carol Hendrie and I am the owner of Professional Salon Training. I have such passion for the beauty industry and love what I do! Beauty therapists (and hairdressers) have the most rewarding careers it has been stated. I couldn’t agree more!

I gained my HND Beauty Therapy Qualification in 2001 from Central College of Commerce to allow me to work in an industry I loved. Since then I have worked continually to increase my skills and qualifications yearly by attending University (distance learning), nail and beauty courses, seminars, workshops and trade events.

15 years working in the beauty industry has made my career evolve and it continues to be a rewarding vocation.

Where it all began

My journey started in 1998 by doing night classes at college while working on cosmetic counters specialising in make-up. I worked in salons then went on to become a Business Manager for Clarins, beauty manager at The McDonald Inchyra hotel before becoming a salon owner in Falkirk for nearly 4 years. It was then when I specialised in acrylic and gel nail extensions as well as providing beauty treatments.

I started teaching in 2003 at Forth Valley College whilst running my salon. After nearly 4 successful years in business a full time teaching opportunity arose in one of Scotland’s leading Colleges and I was the happiest girl alive when I got offered the full time position! Since 2006 I have gained the assessor and verifier award before developing my academic skills further completing a Degree in Professional Development (BAPD) at Aberdeen University whilst working in 2016 following on from my teaching qualification (TQFE) in 2011.

Professional Nail, Beauty and Make-up Courses in Falkirk

The passion, experience and skills I have gained in the beauty industry and academically over 15 years has lead me to this point. I love teaching nails and beauty and find it so rewarding to see people achieve personal goals. I have taught thousands of students over the years and believe I can give you the best experience possible. I want to make you the best you can be through guidance and support even after you have trained. Whether it is to start a brand new career or to develop new or previously learned skills I can help you on your journey. The unique teaching experience I will provide is delivered to a small group with a maximum of 8. This ensures the learning experience is of a high quality, attention to detail and it will allow each individual to have the support they require to develop their skills.

Lee Robertson

Hello, I'm Lee, I live in Falkirk and I am a Beauty and Holistic Therapist with over 20 years experience. I began my journey back in 1996 where I successfully achieved an HND at Edinburgh's Telford College. I then went on to be Head Therapist at Falkirk Health Club for a couple of years, before taking an exciting opportunity to work abroad.

I have had a variety of careers over the years, mainly with corporate companies, which have developed me personally and professionally. I have enjoyed maintaining my beauty and holistic skills during these times. In recent years my passion for the beauty industry has been reignited particularly in Holistic therapies such as Reflexology and Massage.

This area of expertise is in huge demand due to the increase levels of stress in todays society. Due to the demand in these therapies, combined with my passion for holistic therapies, this inspired me to set up my own business 'Health and Beauty Holistics'. More recently, I have completed an award in education and training which has enabled me to team up with Carol at Professional Salon Training to deliver accredited courses.

By sharing my passion, knowledge and experience I will teach you how to perform treatments thoroughly and confidently on your clients and support you to be the best you can be in the industry. I look forward to welcoming you on a course in the near future.

Kirsty Rodger

My name is Kirsty Rodger, I started my beauty journey in 2008. I joined Edinburgh College where I originally met Carol as one of my tutors. I worked hard over the next 4 years to complete my level 2, level 3 and HND in Beauty Therapy. During this time I was also working for Decleor as a beauty therapist in a department store.

After completing my studies I gained a full time position in a beauty salon, where I gained many of my skills and knowledge in customer care. I worked my way up to the position of salon manager. After being with the salon for nearly 5 years I decided I was ready for a change and took the leap to become a self employed therapist working from a busy hairdressers. This was a great move for me and I have never looked back, I thoroughly enjoy my work and I am passionate about all areas of the beauty industry including performing and teaching the best quality beauty treatments.

After having my little boy I was ready for my next challenge and undertook my award in education and training.
