Graduate Stories

Rosine has built a salon where bodies of all shapes, shades, and stories are welcome. Her story is bold, honest, and wildly inspiring — proof that you can build a business with soul, spark, and serious skill.

At Skin Studio by Laura, I’ve created an intimate, moody space where cutting-edge skin treatments meet a therapeutic and personal experience. With eight years of experience, I offer services such as chemical peels, skin needling, and the revolutionary Morpheus8, all tailored to meet individual skin needs.

Throughout her time at The French, Khatira created many lasting memories, with a standout being the annual 5k run event supporting survivors of sex trafficking. Reflecting on her experience, she fondly remembers her friends, educators, and the events that shaped her journey.

Post-graduation, Steph’s career quickly took off. With her skills honed at The French, she secured a position at a major chain during her diploma and later transitioned to a boutique cosmetic skin clinic. Her dedication to ongoing learning and her specialization in cosmetic chemistry have positioned her as a sought-after therapist. Now, working under a cosmetic doctor, Steph continues to excel, driven by her passion for innovative skin treatments and modalities.

I decided to start my own business because I had a passion for helping people feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. I wanted to create a space where people could take a break from the hustle and bustle of life to relax and appreciate their bodies and skin.

The French helped me set a standard for what type of beautician I wanted to be, how I wanted to hold myself and present myself.

The simplest yet most invaluable lesson was the importance of a professional uniform. The emphasis on appearance, presence, and how you present yourself was the first lesson learned at The French and it’s a principle I’ve instilled in my career every single day.

Gratitude for The French Beauty Academy runs deep. The opportunities provided have been pivotal in shaping not just a beauty therapist but a resilient and skilled professional.

A pivotal experience in the skin cancer sector reignited Amanda's passion, driving her towards a career focused on helping others feel confident and empowered.

Priyanka moved from India and has lived in Australia for the past 7 years. During her journey she has thrived, mastering the art of beauty therapy, gaining employment in industry prior to graduating from The French.
