Kinsey Wig Studio | Testimonials

Hearing from my students and clients truly means the world to me. Every bit of feedback whether it’s a message after a course, a photo of a finished wig, or a few kind words about the experience reminds me why I love what I do. Teaching and creating are such personal things, and knowing that my work has helped someone grow in confidence or fall in love with wig making makes it all worthwhile. ✨

I’m so proud of the wonderful people who’ve come through my studio and learned with me, both in person and online…here’s what some of them have said about their experience at Kinsey Wig Studio 💕

"Had the absolute pleasure of having a bespoke mini course with my darling friend Amy, learning crowns and perfecting my partings and hairlines. I would recommend anyone to partake in, had a ball and now fully confident in making more stunning wigs to grow my business."

Bev

“Amy I just want to say a huge thank you, I’ve just opened the box and I’m so happy. The colour match is fantastic and I can now wear the wig with confidence again knowing the bald patches have gone!”

Gemma

“I would highly recommend to anyone to book a course here; whether you’re a beginner or professional, Kinsey Wig Studio is able to cater to what you’re hoping to learn for the duration of the course. I had a day full of laughs and I learnt so much! I hope to be back soon X”

Laura

“I can’t thank Kinsey Wig Studio enough for my training! The day was fully customised to what I needed to gain the confidence for an upcoming job in theatre wigs at a beginner level. Amy has made such a calm, fun, beautiful space in her studio and I felt very at ease to ask Amy about anything I was unsure of!”

Casey

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday’s course, as cringe as it sounds it felt like a friend was teaching me. Your studio is just so lovely and chilled and I had a great time. Blossom is also an absolute babe!”

James

“I wouldn’t change anything about the course I did with you, the 1-1 is great because if you ever need help you’re there immediately, you explain things really easily. I learnt loads whilst I was there and you asked if there was other things I wanted to cover, Amy is extremely accommodating and she really wants you to get the most out of the course. Plus you get amazing coffee, all day banter, book club, cuddles with Blossom (if you want) and you can even watch a film to help you get into the zone, what more could you want? You even get to keep the knotting hook and any pieces you make I would 100000% recommend”

Laura

“I did the 6 day course with Amy. With it being taught on a 1-1basis you get her full attention and can learn so much in a short space of time. Amy is a fantastic teacher and such a kind generous person and lets you learn at your own pace. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is thinking of getting into wig making. Having Blossom there is an added bonus too!”

Will

“I would highly recommend this course to anyone. I had some understanding so Amy tailored the 3 days to suit what I was wanting out of it which meant I came away feeling I got all I needed. Amy is so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. The studio is so relaxed and Amy is always on hand for any help you need”

Olivia

“Your course was brilliant, I knew the basics, but I didn’t know specific techniques. Your one on one lessons were so easy to understand. I learnt so much! I am more confident with my skills because of your course. Also the learning environment was so relaxed, zero stress, 200% amazing vibes”

Stacey

“Amys 3 day course was amazing. I learned so many useful skills from knotting to mending, that I can develop not only for stage and screen but for private clients with hair loss too. Amy is such a calm and patient tutor and we had great chats and a shared love of true crime! Amy is happy to customise this course so you can learn the most useful skills you think you will need the most. This flexibility is great and means you get the most out of it. I got loads of practical advice about materials and tools and industry insight and the cute energy of Amy’s dog Blossom every day! The only thing I would change is to move Pollard Yard to my side of Manchester so I could bob in for regular brews! Thanks Amy X”

Stacey

“I genuinely wouldn’t have changed a thing about my course as I learnt so much at a really good pace and now I do feel confident in being able to fix and repair wig! I will be recommending to everyone! The hours were perfect and didn’t feel too much and the 1-1 learning was amazing! Thank you so much!”

Jemima

“I enjoyed every bit of the course, you provide a nurturing and engaging environment to learn in which is also very easy to get to by train or car. I honestly thought nothing could be improved I think you’ve got an excellent set up and we touched upon everything I asked about with time to spare. I feel confident in practicing the techniques you’ve taught me from home and taking them further especially facial hair and re fronting. I think being given the time to practice in the studio on each detail is perfect and it didn’t feel like it was too much time or too little. I also appreciate the little notebook and box to put all the samples in and the hours of the course are perfect…I could go on haha Blossom and Monica are fabulous too!”

Anna

“I had the best time learning with Amy. I was slightly apprehensive starting a course I wasn’t sure I would even enjoy. So Amy’s suggestion of the one day taster course was fantastic. I fell in love with the skill, and have enjoyed progressing through the 6 day intensive. Amy tailored the course to include things specific to my learning. It is such a relaxed, stress free environment, it creates a healthy learning ground. The overall bonus is the angel that is Blossom giving cuddles and kisses. Honestly thank you so much for bringing this new skill into my life, I absolutely love doing it and I can’t wait to see where it takes me! XX”

Phoebe

“Doing Amy’s six day course has helped me immensely Not only in terms of teaching me in the skills I wanted to learn but also giving me an alternate perspective on how to look and think about things. This made the learning process so much easier and quicker for me to understand. In addition, her insight and advice has helped me massively in a professional and personal stand point. She utilitises the time you spend with her in a way that allows her to cover whatever you want without there being any pressure or stress, which is something I greatly appreciated. Without Amy’s course I wouldn’t be nearly as fast or as confident in knotting and wig making as I am now. Truly a wonderful experience, both leaning wise and with the naturally fun and comfortable environment Amy provides”

Emma

“I had the best day doing the 6 day knotting course with Kinsey Wig Studio. Amy is such an amazing teacher! She taught me so many new skills when it comes to knotting such as crowns, partings and fronts of wigs!! She also helped me improve my speed of knotting and helped me improve my skills. Everything was taught in so much detail and made so clear so that I knew exactly what I was doing. I had the best time learning with her and could not recommend this course more”

Ellie

“Amy was absolutely fantastic from the beginning to the end! Not only was she super welcoming and approachable she’s an incredible teacher. Her laid back approach made me feel at ease and made for a perfect learning environment. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thanks again Amy X”

Lauren

“I recently spent 2 days with Amy at her fab studio in Ancoats on her facial hair making course. Amy is a great teacher and is flexible so you can change up what you want to do depending how you are getting on. Everything that you need is provided. I was able to go back to basics getting my knotting nailed down before making half a moustache and an eyebrow. I was really pleased with my creations. We also had the time to cover whip stitching and repairing holes in wigs. By the end of the 2 days I felt like I could successfully make all different type of facial pieces-just need to practise now. I deffo want to go back to learn how to re front wigs next!”

Scott

“I cannot thank Amy enough for reigniting my past love of knotting. The courses she runs in her beautiful, peaceful studio are wonderful. You go at your own pace so for complete beginners or those with experience it’s perfect. Moustache, eyebrows, re-fronting and mending wigs, knotting in human, synthetic and yak hair plus cross knotting. Loved every minute thank you Amy!”

Liam

“Amy created a fantastic learning environment which was professional, relaxed and supportive. By the end of day one I achieved single and double knots! By day 6 I was confident enough to create my own pieces at home. I had an insight into how Amy ran her business and who commissioned her which inspired me beyond what I could have imagined. The best course I have ever done! Thank you X”

Charlotte

“Amy’s approach to mentorship was nothing short of remarkable, she possesses a unique ability to tailor her teaching methods to suit individual needs and learning styles. Her patience, understanding and innovative techniques not only helped me overcome my mental barrier but also infused a newfound confidence in my abilities”

Jackie

“I really appreciate you being so flexible with the timings and everything seemed so organised and ready to go. Amy had a really friendly and open teaching style and I had a great time. I haven’t knotted yet since the course but I know that I will”
