In South Africa, beauty schools are not exactly a dime a dozen, but nevertheless, this country has its fair share of such institutes, particularly in the major cities and most certainly in and around the country’s economic hub, Johannesburg. Therefore, students have a choice of beauty colleges.
One can but wonder where the standards of beauty therapy and courses on offer in this industry would be in South Africa today, if our prestigious academy had not been established in this country some 50 years ago, way back in 1965. This is especially so because we’ve been one of the bodies which have been so very instrumental in setting the benchmark for the provision of top-quality, specialised training of the highest order.
If you take a walk through any of Johannesburg’s busy shopping malls and other locations where lots of people congregate, you’ll find few women who are completely devoid of make up. It’s very likely that some of them have received training in the art of cosmetic application or had their faces made up by a professional make up artist at least once, probably prior to attending a special occasion or as part of an image consulting make-over.
Although the officially registered name of our beauty and make-up design school appears to focus on these very disciplines – at least at first glance – our variety of curricula and training programmes encompass so much more. We’re also a fully recognised and accredited special effects and body therapy college.
Amongst the students at our exclusive, reputable beauty therapy and make-up/special effects design school, we find that certain of them are only interested in certain courses, some of which are presented on a part-time basis.
Once thought to be beyond the ability of many a woman in the past, the application of cosmetics and make up has evolved to become a complex, varied and highly professional occupation, especially in international cities and, of course, equally so in Johannesburg, the hub of South Africa’s fashion and beauty industry.
Modern nail care courses in South Africa are as good as or better than many of those which you’ll encounter anywhere else in the world. However, this does depend on where one studies, their reputation and standards, the curriculum, and most importantly, the recognition and accreditation of the institution.

Nail technology and the latest options offered by this innovative beauty discipline have never been as varied or in such great demand as is now the case in 2015, which is why our beauty academy in Gauteng offers professional courses, comprehensively covering this complex field.
Unless you have a modelling or photographic assignment, or are appearing in a theatre, film or television production in which stage or spot lighting is used extensively, your day make-up should be lighter and considerably different from that which you apply for evening or special occasion wear.
