I just completed this hair and makeup course, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was everything I hoped for and more. The lessons were structured beautifully easy to follow, yet packed with professional-level techniques and insider tips that made a real difference in my skills. Justine and Rhianne were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about helping us succeed. They didn’t just teach us how to do makeup and hair they taught us how to understand why certain techniques work and how to adapt them to different faces, skin types, and occasions Thank you very much!!!

I’m so happy I picked Elite! Not only is Justine is a great educator, she’s extremely passionate about cultivating talent into the beauty industry. The whole Elite team works hard to place students in real life situations like runway shows, photo shoots, roadshows, etc where we learn beyond just the classroom. I can’t thank Elite enough for recognizing me and providing me with so many work opportunities even after I’ve graduated.

Recently, I completed a makeup and hairstyling course taught by Justine. I don’t have enough words to praise the team at the Makeup Academy. The learning experience was excellent in terms of professionalism. The staff was always there to help and guide. Aside from the professionalism, the lessons were filled with humor and enjoyment. Beyond the classes, Justine offers plenty of works experience opportunities, which is a great way to practice and gain experience. The willingness to help—from the team in general and from Justine in particular—is truly exceptional, and I am grateful to them for all the knowledge I gained, for the wonderful learning experience, and for the personal attention and endless generosity they showed.
