Graduate Lauren

My dream of entering the beauty industry became a reality ten years ago when I was accepted as a student at the Australian Academy of Beauty Therapy. From the very beginning, I was immersed in an environment that fostered my passion for beauty and provided me with a comprehensive education. As a student at AABT, I had the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and gain in-depth knowledge about the industry. The education and experiences I received at AABT were invaluable, laying the foundation for what has become a wonderful and successful career.

Since graduating in 2015, my journey in the beauty industry has been diverse and fulfilling. I began my career working as a beauty, dermal, and laser therapist, where I honed my technical skills and built strong relationships with clients. My expertise and dedication soon led me to roles in salon management at several well-known salons, where I was able to apply my knowledge in a leadership capacity, overseeing operations and mentoring junior staff.

In addition to my work in salons, I took a significant step forward by starting my own business. For the past four years, I have successfully run my own beauty enterprise, managing every aspect from client services to business operations. This experience has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to directly impact my clients’ lives and see the tangible results of my hard work and dedication.

My passion for beauty has continuously driven me to explore new opportunities within the industry. Recently, this passion has unlocked another exciting career path for me as a beauty trainer and educator. This role has been, by far, the most rewarding aspect of my career. As a trainer, I have the privilege of sharing my knowledge and experience with aspiring beauty professionals, helping them to achieve their own dreams and succeed in the industry. Seeing my students grow and develop their skills has been immensely gratifying, and it reaffirms my commitment to the beauty industry every day.

My journey with AABT and beyond has been filled with growth, learning, and achievement. I am grateful for the solid foundation that AABT provided, and I am excited to continue contributing to the industry as both a practitioner and an educator.
