What They Say

Sibu Pakade

“My experience at Beauty Academy International was phenomenal! I walked out of that college being able to perform services that I never thoughts I’d be able to perform, I am also confident that with my accomplished expertise I will open a place of mine own one day, with so many qualifications and amazing references under my belt. Most importantly I built strong and life long relationships with my Headmistress, lecturers and fellow students. I would definitely go through that amazing experience again if I could but we all have to grow up and spread our wings because at Beauty Academy we are groomed, taught and nurtured to be the best and perform to our utmost potential.”

Melanie Horn

I started my journey with Beauty Academy in July 2018 by with what seemed to be a good pocket money opportunity at the time, by doing Nails part time.  I soon realized that I had found my passion and enrolled for further courses.  I soon made the decision that this was no longer going to be a part time thing for me so I completed all the subjects necessary for me to complete my Beauty Academy International Diplomas as well as my ITEC Diplomas in Nail Technology and Beauty Therapy.

Over the past 2 years, Joy and staff at Beauty Academy International have become a part of my life story to finally owning my own business.

My sincere gratitude to Joy Duffield for seeing my potential, you will always be part of the Liquid Glamour Nail and Beauty Boutique story!
