My Story, my Mission, my Values

Hi

I  have been a qualified beauty specialist since 2003, building over two decades of experience within the industry. Throughout my career, I have trained extensively in a wide range of beauty treatments and have worked both across Yorkshire and internationally, gaining valuable knowledge, diverse techniques, and a broad understanding of client care.

After taking a career break to focus on motherhood, I returned to the beauty industry with renewed passion and purpose. Beauty has given me not only a fulfilling career but also the flexibility to balance family life — something I truly value.

My greatest passion lies in nail systems I am deeply committed to precision, structure, and the health of the natural nail. However, alongside my love for nails, I am equally passionate for many other treatments and about education, Guiding students, building their confidence, and helping them refine their skills.

I am proud to work alongside Dali Artistic as an official educator. After personally experiencing the exceptional quality, innovation, and commitment to safety within the brand, it was a natural progression to represent products that prioritise both performance and the health of the client’s nails.

The beauty industry is evolving every day which is why I continue my own professional development and genuine dedication to raising industry standards, i deliver training that is supportive, detailed, and results-driven — empowering the next generation of beauty professionals.

Wakiefield Beauty Academy began with a vision to provide exceptional beauty services while nurturing new talent through quality training. My mission focuses on inclusivity, empowerment, and in depth practices. I value integrity, personalised care, and a friendly atmosphere that encourages confidence and growth for everyone who walks through my door. 

I don’t just hand you a certificate and send you on your way. My students receive ongoing mentor support through an exclusive WhatsApp group, giving you continued access to advice, guidance, and encouragement as you build your business.
