Testimonials



Just a few of the many comments our students have made while studying at The Marvell Hair Academy.

Dear Yvonne,

I am writing to thank you for an extremely enjoyable PIP refresher course at Marvell Academy.

I am extremely pleased with the progress I made and how much we were able to fit in. I feel your course offered excellent value for money and was delivered in a friendly and professional environment.

You and your staff were so kind and friendly and offered knowledge and experience brilliantly. I learned so much.

I would very much like to come to your academy for further training and look forward to speaking with you about it soon.

Can't wait to receive my certificate!

Warm Regards,

Niki Gooch.



Laura Moroney (2022)

I would like to take this time to give my review of Marvell Hair Academy Swindon.

From the moment I initiated contact with Yvonne, the communication was excellent. There was clarity from the beginning on what would be required and expected of me and also how I would be taught and assessed throughout. My first visit to the academy (with my new baby strapped to me) was all the evidence I needed to know that this was the course for me. I needed to feel the atmosphere and have relaxed vibes in order to be able to learn well along with many other pressures of work and family life.

I have found the experience here to be incomparable to other learning environments. I have found the academy to be extremely positive, supportive, warm and friendly. You almost feel welcomed into a family in this atmosphere.

The support I receive is crucial to me. I am a mum of 2 young children so I need answers to queries or issues that I'm having quite quickly as my time is limited. I have never been disappointed with the support in this regard.

This brings me to my tutor. Jade is absolutely fabulous. She is such a brilliant tutor. She works so hard and never ever makes you feel like you're asking too many questions. Her patience is so inspirational and she never makes me feel rushed. I go to the academy Monday evenings and I find this time is like a home from home while learning so much. I rate the class sizes most importantly to me. The small class sizes have meant that there has been quality and valuable time put into me and my skill. I am being shown and tested by Jade perfectly. Jade praises me all the time for what I'm good at and works with me closely when I'm not so confident in other parts of the course.

If Jade isn't around or I need to change my evening there will always a proactive, friendly tutor to assist.

The course has been consistent, extremely well laid out and so interesting. Yvonne is very organised which really means a lot to me when doing a course. Her videos are really clear and thorough, she is really skilled so it is wonderful to be able to learn from her and to have these videos moving forward.

I cannot praise and recommend this course and academy enough.

Many thanks
Laura Moroney


Jenna Collyett (2022)


When I was looking around for a Academy/College to take my education further it was always in the front of my head this is going to be a struggle to find somewhere for me because of my dyslexia. I know I learn differently to others though in my years I have noticed some trainers/tutors get frustrated because I just didn’t understand.
When I met Amy I was upfront with my needs and struggles and to my surprise Amy said she was also Dyslexic. Now this could have gone two ways, we would either bash heads and neither of us would understand each other or she would be absolutely amazing with my learning.
Thankfully I took the plunge and just enrolled, and I’m so glad I did. Amy became my tutor and helped me every step of the way, there was days I just didn’t understand and I didn’t hesitate to say “I don’t understand” and she would explain the question to me in 10 different ways until I got it. She was incredibly patient, calm and we had a great deal of laughs when it came to me asking my questions. She has a very good sense of humour when it comes to everything teaching which puts my mind at rest and I know I can speak for others when I say she did the same for them too. Without Amy I don’t think I would have gotten where I am today, my own business is thriving because she’s helped me understand hairdressing in away I don’t think anyone else could help me. She’s been so calm and supportive with everything I’ve done and always been available when I needed her.
I think Amy truly deserves this award because not only has she been an amazing tutor who trying gave time to understand me but also a friend that I could also go too for help with hairdressing. I could tell she really did put everything into her work and for somebody who needed extra help she went above and beyond.


PAIGE CREIGHTON (2019)

Being one of the youngest students studying at Marvel Academy, wasn’t just a worry about the amount of learning support I would get, but it was also a worry about the one to one time I could have with the tutors. Throughout my current learning, Yvonne and Amy have been so kind and welcoming, in which they encourage myself through the course, especially when I begin to struggle on the work. They offer you one to one time, or just time when you can come in yourself and just get on with the work. They have help gained my confidence and never stop pushing me to the best of my ability. I am excited to what my future may hold with this amazing qualification.

CARLA ROBERTS (2019)

I am a current student studying NVQ level 2 hair dressing.

When looking into hair dressing courses available in Swindon, It was Swindon college and Marvell Hair Academy which caught my attention.
Being a mature student, it was essential to me that I made the right choice on a course, and where to train. Therefore I had an abundant of questions to ask. I made contact with both the college and Marvell, and it was Yvonne’s at Marvell Hair Academy fantastic communication that made me know that this was the place I wanted to do my training. All of my questions were answered promptly and in-depth. It was actually after a few email conversations with Yvonne, that I realised I wasn’t quite at the point in life where I could give the course my all and I decided to wait 1 year until my youngest was a year older and at nursery. One year on and here I am!

MANDY QUARRELL

For me, Marvell Hair Academy is everything I wanted and more. The other students attending the academy are of a whole range of ages meaning you will never feel too old/young or out of place.
The class sizes are small and teachers are able to dedicate more time with you, which is a very different experience to a full compacity class at college, making the lessons more engaging.
The Academy is flexible, and I can fit my learning around my family without compromise. It is clean and well equipped, but most importantly Amy and Yvonne are amazing teachers. The support, patience and dedication they show to their students is incredible. All of these things together really makes Marvell Hair Academy unique. I will highly recommend the Academy to anyone wanting to train in the hair industry and hope to further my education and skills within the academy in the future.
Mandy Quarrell 2015-16
I qualified as a hairdresser to NVQ Level 2 ten years ago and have be running my own salon for nine.

I decided to gain my NVQ level 3 initially to give me confidence with colour correction and modern cutting techniques.

I chose The Marvell Hair Academy because of the small group sizes and their connection to the industry. They were extremely accommodating with the times that they offered, so I could work around my existing commitments.

After completing my NVQ3 I have since been back and gained my qualification in hair extensions and assessing vocational competence.

I have also sent two of my staff members to Marvell for further training which they found to be encouraging and inspirational, re-energising there passion for hairdressing.
I found all of the staff to be very knowledgeable and supportive throughout my training and I'm sure I will be back.


Nikki Matthews August 2016

I did my level 1 hairdressing at college when I was 16, Then I left and worked until I was 25. I went thought a break up and after that I decide to go back to what I missed and loved which was hairdressing.

My dad came home and told me about the academy where I then rang Yvonne, went in and had a chat with her.

I started my level 2 in the October, I was so excited to start, There was no worries because Yvonne and Amy is amazing! So helpful anything you needed they would help, Even with theory they would sit with you and make sure you fully understood everything.
I struggled with my cutting I really thought I wasn't going to get through it, worried I sat and spoke to Yvonne and the week after we was doing one on one cutting, after that everything just clicked and then I loved cutting. I completed my level 2 and now I am in my level 3, I am finishing in 2 months and I have loved every minute of it! I have had so much fun, Yvonne and Amy have made it an absolute pleasure to work with, even though I wont be without them totally as I am renting a chair on a Saturday within the academy!

The Marvell Hair Academy is the best choice I have ever made its worth every penny! The one on one and the extra help, and reassurance when needed just makes life so much easier especially when you work another job and things get stressful.

I owe these ladies so much they have helped me start building the empire I have always dreamed of.

Andrea Browning August 2016

In 2012, I decided to retrain as a hairdresser and Yvonne Marvell was one of the tutors on the two-year course at a Swindon college. I thought she was excellent then. When I qualified (level 2), I decided to pursue a level 3 qualification and this is where I met up with Yvonne again, now at The Marvell Hair Academy.

Due to the success at The Marvell Hair Academy they have moved to their very own new bespoke premises in Swindon. I honestly can't say enough good things about this academy: it feels like it's bespoke training such is the excellent continued support. Amy (Denton), our tutor, is especially supportive. All students are treated as valuable assets to the industry and all of the tutors are genuinely interested in having all of their students succeed.

I hope that very soon, The Marvell Hair Academy will become the UK's South West gateway for hairdresser training. They deserve all the success that their hard work will achieve.

Kelly Vowels (2016)

I have just completed a PIPs course (personal improvement course) with The Marvell Hair Academy in preparation for my level 3. Having completed my level 2 through an adult learning course at Swindon College, I didn't feel confident with the skills I had gained. Having one on one tuition with Yvonne and Amy through a taylor made package was absolutely brilliant and suited my needs accordingly. The tutors are extremely patient and knowledgeable and picked up on where I was going wrong straight away allowing me to progress quickly.

The class sizes, facilities and salon are all wonderful and perfect for students of all ages and abilities. I'd reccommend the courses to everyone.

Nicole Ewer (2016)

Marvellous Marvell Academy allows you to gain the experience of working in a real salon environment, watching stylists hands on! It's flexible, fast paced with great opportunities to rent a chair and build up your own clientele. Would highly recommend!

Claire Lay (2016)

I qualified at Swindon college in my level 2 hairdressing and even though I really enjoyed college the classes were large so it was hard to get that one on one tuition, I then decided to apply to do a pips course at The Marvell Hair Academy and I found it enjoyable, it was one on one tuition with Yvonne, she had taken time with me to go through services that I struggled with, I could do the pips course within the hours of my full time job.

Doing this pips course meant that I was getting more confident and I knew that I would definitely benefit from doing my level 3 at the academy. I started my level 3 in October 2015 and I am due to qualify October 2016 and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made, I can see my confidence has grown and I enjoy every second of being there. My tutor Amy has really made me believe In myself that I can do it, she takes the time to go through questions or to show me demonstrations.

Personally for me If I struggled with a few things either Amy or Yvonne would set some time as side to help me. Group sizes are small which means you can get the support that you need and the times and days of the course are perfect to work around my full time job. The opportunities you can get whilst doing this course are amazing you get to work within a salon environment and now I am now renting a chair on a Saturday through the academy which is an amazing opportunity for myself.

Honestly if you are thinking of applying please do it here, these ladies have made me a confident hair stylist and most of all I feel really comfortable in this academy everyone helps each other out. I was worried that asking questions would be silly but that's far from it at the academy because asking questions is all part of the learning. I wouldn't be the confident, happy hair stylist without them! I would highly recommend!
