AVOID

AVOID — Unresolved Refund and Serious Concerns About My Experience
I booked a course with Cosmetic Couture Education but, due to health reasons, I was unable to proceed with it. I paid £1,000 over the phone and a further £1,000 by bank transfer. Although £1,000 was refunded by the bank, I have still been unable to recover the remaining £1,000.
I find this extremely frustrating and disappointing. After being unable to resolve the matter, I pursued a money claim through the court, and a CCJ was issued.
I subsequently received a letter stating that the business was going into liquidation and that Maxine was withdrawing from the aesthetics industry due to the mental toll, with the academy no longer meeting the legal threshold.
What concerns me further is that, shortly afterwards, a business appeared to reopen under a different name. Cosmetic Couture Education now appears to operate as Cosmetic Couture Group. This has raised serious concerns for me, particularly given my unresolved refund.
I have also found several businesses with similar Cosmetic Couture names listed on Companies House, including:
Cosmetic Couture Beauty and Solarium
Cosmetic Couture Group Ltd
Cosmetic Couture Education Ltd
Cosmetic Couture Medical Ltd
Cosmetic Couture Ltd
Cosmetic Couture College Ltd
Cosmetic Couture Training Newcastle Ltd
Cosmetic Couture Culcheth Ltd
I have also noticed the names Maxine McCarthy and Sharon McCarthy associated with these businesses.
My main concern remains that I am still owed £1,000 despite taking legal action to recover my money. In my experience, this has been an incredibly disappointing and stressful situation, and I feel that other people considering booking a course deserve to be aware of my experience before handing over their money.
I would strongly encourage anyone considering a course to carry out thorough research into the business, its company history and its refund policies before making a payment.

Good trainer but poor customer service- booking, huge increase in price

I’ve been going to CC for several years. I’ve been pleased with the results so have continued to visit. However, I’ve had issues with appointments being incorrectly booked, the practitioner I’ve booked isn’t working that day, I once visited to find I wasn’t booked in at all yet I’d paid half for the treatment! Luckily the practitioner kindly fitted in my treatment, while the caretaker was waiting to lock up - I travel quite a distance so I can’t just pop back. Practitioner’s know about the booking issues but say reception is totally separate and there’s nothing they can do- it’s unprofessional and it s a way of shutting customers down- no one is responsible.
The latest non friendly customer service is the change in client payment : Clients can no longer pay on credit card, full prior payment is required, what happens if you’re not satisfied with your treatment? Plus huge cost hikes in treatments is putting me off. I politely questioned a couple of these issues, the reply was blunt, ChatGTPed also trying to blind me with technical jargon. I’ve emailed previously and had no reply. What happened to customer service? Beware!

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify a few points raised in your review.

Regarding our pricing, **all clients have been informed of the recent price increases.** Like many businesses, we have experienced significant increases in product costs, supplies and operational expenses. As a result, we have had to adjust our treatment prices accordingly. These changes are necessary to maintain the quality and standards of our services.

Our payment policies have also been updated as part of our business procedures and apply to all clients.

With regard to appointment bookings, we acknowledge your comments and will review the concerns raised. However, our practitioners and reception team have different responsibilities, and practitioners are not responsible for managing the booking system.

We understand that you may not agree with our pricing or payment policies, but these are business decisions made to ensure we can continue operating to the standards our clients expect.

Cosmetic Couture is a really…

Cosmetic Couture is a really professional place with a genuine culture about it. I go to their model days, and what strikes me is how much respect the students seem to have for the academy and for what they're learning. They're incredibly focused on what they're doing, while being gently guided and closely supported throughout.
Because it's a busy training environment, there can be lots of people milling around, but somehow it still feels extremely professional, structured and well held. I've always felt in very capable hands there. I actually enjoy the whole experience — including my little road trip through the countryside to get there!

Cosmetic Couture so professional

I have been to Cosmetic Couture in Manchester for many years. So professional from the receptionist to seeing the practitioners, who make you feel relaxed, go through any of your worries and what the results can be achieved.

I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Also, easy parking

Professional Service

Professional Service. 💯
Had Sculptra as a model, the trainee carrying out my treatment plan was already experienced with needles and cannula.
Highly professional and experienced practitioner Heather oversaw the treatment plan i had.
Extremely happy with the result and will return for my 2nd session late November as advised by Heather.
I recommend this company Cosmetic Couture to anyone looking for non surgical aesthetic treatments. 💯

Always an amazing experience

I’ve been a returning client to Cosmetic couture for over 6 years now and every single time the service has been amazing. From when you’re first greeted at the door to the treatment itself- you are made to feel welcome and comfortable. You are talked through every treatment and given a full overview of aftercare. Everyone is really lovely and I highly reccomend.

I had a wonderful experience with Cathy at Cosmetic Couture. From the thorough consultation through to the treatments, her professionalism, knowledge and reassuring manner made me feel completely comfortable. Her attention to aseptic technique and client care was evident throughout.

I had six areas of Botox and 2 ml of dermal filler, and I am delighted with the results. Cathy has beautifully rebalanced my face, enhancing my cheeks and jawline and shaping my lips with great care and precision. Her knowledge and skill are a real credit to her.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Cathy to anyone considering treatment. Five stars from me, and I will definitely be returning!
