This immersive approach provides personalized support, focusing on developing essential skills in both hair and makeup, and building students’ confidence.

This format allows students to balance their current responsibilities while dedicating focused time to mastering both hair and makeup artistry. This is the Career Change Course...

Choosing to invest in yourself and your future is not just about the financials—it’s about committing to your dreams and growth as an artist.

We know that for many, this decision feels life-changing, and that’s why we aim to make the process as smooth as possible. Our early bird discounts, which start at 20% and gradually reduce as the course start date approaches, allow you to save more by enrolling earlier.

That’s why we offer flexible options, including an EMI payment plan, so you don’t have to bear the burden of paying everything at once. This way, you can concentrate on honing your skills and passion without financial stress weighing you down.

We work closely with students and their families to craft a payment plan that suits their individual circumstances.
