Karen Betts was delighted to win ‘The Safety in Beauty Diamond Award’ in Excellence and Dedication to Safety in Beauty at this year’s prestigious London White Party event on 2nd July.

Facing stiff competition from many other reputable and highly commended companies in the Medical and Advanced beauty sector, Nouveau Contour UK (Karen’s Permanent Makeup Training Academy) won this magnificent accolade in the ‘Best Training & Professional Development’ category.
