The Georgina Price College of Beauty Therapy has been established in Galway since 1992, when it opened on Shop Street.
Over the years, due to growth and success of the college it was necessary to expand to bigger premises, therefore the college relocated to Unit 8 in the Liosban Business Park on the Tuam road in June 2009. This allowed us to provide our students with a new luxury, modern, spacious training centre.
The college has become renowned both nationally and internationally for it's high standard of training and expertise with many of its graduates having gone on to become some of the leading business personalities within the industry.
Some past student success stories include Salon owners, Salon & Spa managers, spa therapists on board luxury cruise liners, with many also expanding into education and training both within the field of education and many international Skincare companies.
At the college we place special emphasis on preparing our students for the work environment ahead. This is achieved by the highly motivated and experienced tutors that strive to achieve a standard of excellence in all of their students.

"I graduated from the Georgina Price College of Beauty Therapy in 2004, then I took the skills and knowledge that I gained in college to embark on a career with the leading spa provider Steiners, working as a spa therapist on board 6 Star luxury cruise ship. I completed four successful contracts and now work for the company in the Worldwide Recruitment Team as Recruitment Manager for Ireland and Scotland.
I always knew I wanted to be a Beauty Therapist and after careful consideration, I chose to train in the Georgina Price College of Beauty Therapy. The college has a great reputation, not only for its training and top class facilities, but graduates were also very employable. I feel that the training I received guided me towards a very successful career. I am very grateful to Georgina and her tutors for their commitment and always maintaining such high standards."

"Having looked at the options open to me in various colleges, I decided to study Holistic Massage at the Georgina Price College of Beauty Therapy, a move which changed my life completely. I went there with very little self esteem, not knowing if I would be able for the course, but fortunately for me, my tutor (Maura O'Flynn) helped me so much, not only with my training, but, also made me feel important and helped me tremendously getting my confidence back. I could not praise the college enough for what they have done for me during my study there. Having successfully obtained my diploma in Holistic Massage, I returned to the college the following year and obtained my second diploma in reflexology. I am currently enjoying a wonderful career working as a complementary therapist in one of the top health spa's in the country."
