Training Beauty Professionals Through Honest, Practical Education

The gap between talented practitioners and quality education seemed unnecessarily wide. Specialised training was either:

• Prohibitively expensive (£1,500-2,000+ for SPMU courses)
• Poorly taught (rushed one-day courses with minimal hands-on practice)
• Inaccessible geographically (requiring travel to London or major cities)
• Packed with students (20-30 per class, minimal individual attention)
• Full of hidden costs ("kit sold separately" adding hundreds to advertised prices)

Having experienced the career transformation that proper specialised training provided, I found it increasingly difficult to watch skilled beauticians remaining stuck simply because quality education wasn't accessible or affordable.

Lara Rose Training Academy grew from a straightforward idea: Provide the kind of training I wish had been available to me ten years ago.

The principles guiding everything we do:

• Small class sizes (4-6 students maximum): Individual attention isn't luxury — it's essential for learning technical skills properly. You can't learn microblading in a classroom of 30 people with one instructor.
• Complete transparency: Course descriptions accurately represent what's covered and what's included. No surprise costs, no misleading promises about instant success, no hidden fees.
• Practical focus over theory overload: Students spend 70-80% of training time with tools in hands, practising techniques they'll actually use with clients. Theory provides context; practice builds competency.
• Honest pricing: Training should be valued fairly but not exploitatively priced. Our fees reflect quality instruction, comprehensive materials, and reasonable business returns — nothing more.
• Lasting support: Professional questions arise months after courses end. Lifetime email support recognises that learning continues long after certification, and accessible guidance benefits graduates' ongoing development.

Since establishing the academy in 2024, I've trained over 500 beauty professionals:

• Mid-career beauticians who doubled their income within months by adding specialised services to existing practices
• Established salon owners who transformed their business models by introducing premium treatment menus
• Career starters who launched as specialists from day one, commanding premium prices from their first clients
• Career changers who entered beauty at the advanced level rather than spending years in entry-level roles

What unites them isn't their starting point or experience level. It's their recognition that specialised skills unlock opportunities that years of basic work never will.

I'm not going to claim everyone who trains with us becomes wildly successful or earns six figures. Success depends on numerous factors: market location, work ethic, business acumen, continued skill development, marketing effectiveness.

What I can promise:

• You'll receive comprehensive, practical training that genuinely prepares you for client work — not just ceremonial certification. Small class sizes ensure individual attention. Complete kits (where included) mean you're equipped to begin immediately. Ongoing support means you're not navigating challenges alone.
• Whether you're an established beautician ready to elevate your income potential, or a career starter choosing the specialist path from day one, you'll receive the same thorough, honest education that I wish had been available to me a decade ago.
• The transformation won't happen overnight — mastery develops through practice and commitment. But proper training provides the foundation, and your dedication builds the career.
