Why We Created This Academy

Academy by Belle was created because the beauty industry deserves better. Better training. Better safety. Better support.


After years of operating Belle Beauty Lounge and seeing countless artists come to us feeling unprepared after rushed or incomplete courses, we knew something had to change.

Academy by Belle fills the gap—offering education that’s thorough, safety-driven, and designed to help artists actually feel confident working with real clients.

What Makes Academy by Belle Standout

 

Safety Is Not Optional — It’s the Foundation

Every course includes medical-grade safety standards, hygiene, and infection prevention practices that the industry rarely teaches but desperately needs.


Hands-On, High-Touch Training

We keep class sizes small and training individualized.
Students practice on real models with expert supervision—not rushed, not crowded.


Support Beyond Certification

Once your course ends, our support doesn’t.
Students can return for supervised model days, ongoing guidance, and real mentorship.


Training for Both Individuals and Salon Teams

Academy by Belle also partners with studios, clinics, and salons to elevate staff training, standardize protocols, and support team development.


Our Mission

To raise the standard of beauty education by teaching real skills, real safety, and real confidence—creating professionals who can serve clients with excellence and integrity.


Who We Serve

Academy by Belle is for:

  • New and aspiring beauty professionals
  • Experienced artists upgrading their skills
  • Nurses transitioning into beauty
  • Salon and spa owners who want confident, safe, consistent staff
  • Teams needing stronger onboarding and training support
     

If you care about safety, professionalism, and the long-term success of your beauty career or business—you’re in the right place.
