The founder
Tanya's story
Proof that one course, taken seriously, can change everything.
It started with a spray tan
In November 2011, while working in retail and as an account manager for a linen company, Tanya took a spray tanning course purely for personal use. She made her money back tanning others, with profit on top, and reinvested every penny into more courses.
She went mobile, converted a room at home into a small salon, and kept working full time. In 2013 she decided to become an educator, learning Level 2 and 3 Hairdressing at college while managing a No7 counter at Boots. In 2016 she quit the day job, went fully self employed and turned a rented office room into her first academy.
She outgrew it. In 2020 she opened the large academy in Hucknall, and today the academy lives at 123 Mansfield Road in Nottingham city centre, teaching over 100 accredited courses.
The academy today
What learning here looks like
Small by design
Teaching is 1 to 1 or in extremely small duo or trio groups, so nobody gets left behind.
Accredited courses
Courses are accredited by The CPD Group or INSYNC and written to be insurable. Always confirm cover with your own insurer before booking.
Three sister brands
The academy sits alongside Flawless Aesthetics and Pamper Me, all owned and run by Tanya.

"As much as we appreciated all the local support in Hucknall, we are excited to share that we have relocated. We have made many memories over the years at the academy in Hucknall however, it is time to take another step forward in the business. We would appreciate the continued support and hope to see you all at the new academy."
