Hi there and welcome. I personally would start the visa application first as it takes quite a while to complete (we got our visas in 9 months from start to finish and we used a no visa no fee agent). Using an agent is down to personal choice and funds of course, but we did not want all the hassle of being rejected and it taking a lot longer than necessary. Good luck with what ever you decide.

I'll move you to the hairdressing forum, plenty of people there who have come out with the skills that you have

Thanks have found so many agencies that do that not sure which one to use, how much do you think i should be paying, or roundabouts. thanks for your help, thou, hoping to get there for christmas, fingers crossed. x
