The Beauty House Academy hosted its first Salon event.
For the event we invited salon, spa owners and managers to receive beauty treatments at our beautiful clinic facilities in Maroochydore.
Guests could choose two items from our list of popular treatments, including classic facial, paraffin pedicure, leg waxing and back massages.
Following the event, guests were invited to provide their feedback.
Feedback, especially when it is constructive is important as it helps us improve what we do at the Academy, and ensure we meet industry needs.
Our students worked hard throughout the whole year, and the positive response was overwhelming. It is rewarding to know that our students are trained up to industry expectations and that our program makes them job ready. Some students even get offered a job before they finish their studies.
Here’s some of the comments we received:
Good Afternoon Lindsey. Thank you for a great afternoon yesterday, I was very impressed with the quality of professionalism displayed and the practical performance of your student. If all of them is of the same calibre, we would be very lucky to have them join our team…

Great Flow, nice touch, very good open and closing touches, good amount of time spent on each area, beautiful pressure, great hands, lovely facial massage, thank you that was amazing! Very professional and friendly, wonderful therapist, beautiful treatment performed in a professional manner, you are going to be a wonderful therapist, loved it!
– Salon Event Attendee
And also constructive feedback so we know what skills we need to work on:
A bit more pressure would have been nice, be confident with your moves and pressure you won’t hurt the client…Skin diagnosis and retail suggestions are very important, our staff have to sell 25 -33% of daily target in retail sales!
– Salon Event Attendee
It was a lot of fun for everyone involved, but the most rewarding part was to receive feedback from reputable industry players. We can’t thank them enough for having taken time off their busy schedule to attend this event.
Our students all did very well with some, asked to send their resume over to salons if they were looking for a job! Yay!
My therapist was amazing. I could feel that she’s passionate about our lovely industry, which gave me hope in the new generation again. She did have all the amazing “spa touches” that we’re looking for when it’s coming to our lovely spa therapists. Please let me know if she’s actually looking for a job and we’ll take her in.

Following the event, we also wanted to hear from our students. This is what they had to say:
We were initially nervous but felt we had the skills to perform the treatments well and enjoyed the day.
– Student
Because the clients were industry experts, we felt that it “pushed us out of our comfort zone” which was a good thing as we are very comfortable doing treatments on regulars in clinic times. We enjoyed the opportunity to perform treatments on therapists that have excellent knowledge about the industry.

Lindsey Nicholls, the Beauty House Academy Principal says:
They appreciated the feedback about thorough skin analysis, knowing 2 ingredients for the recommended range and how important recommending homecare was. This led to a discussion about summary sheets for our products ranges and having promotional days in Clinic that focus on retail sales like complementary facial with products purchased including a GWP. We also spoke about the importance of knowing your product range well..

Our Principal is enchanted to confirm that our students are trained to industry standards and are job ready, although she knows that all staff and students are working very hard to achieve this.
New beauty courses are launched in 2023 and have been designed to respond to industry needs with a strong emphasis on retail and customer advice and service. We are excited by the content of the new package. We will also be using Murad, a high performance skincare brand. Being a student at TBHA will give access to the Murad Community, a learning platform packed with industry and skin care knowledge. 2023 will also see the introduction of a new range of make-up to retail to our customers. More to come on this…
Thanks to everyone involved. We are looking forward to running the new beauty courses and run this event again soon!
