As an artist myself, I’ve spent many years perfecting my skills. At the beginning of my career I realized it was difficult to be a graduate with no experience or skills and only a license to hold on to.

As somebody who has personally spent many years working in different fields of the beauty industry, I can offer you not only the knowledge and skills you will need to be successful, but can also provide you with guidance, tact and the inside expertise you need to guide your career in the right direction, and to set you apart from the rest.

Yes, a training diploma will be given upon completion.
