The Demi standard: Beauty industry training that gets rave reviews

Salon Reviews Demi International

When a client leaves a student clinic saying, “That was one of the best haircuts I’ve had in years”, you know something’s working.

At Demi, we’re not just training beauty, massage and hair professionals – we’re sending capable, confident students out into the world with real skills and glowing reviews to match. Whether it’s a facial in Toowoomba, a deep tissue massage in Maroochydore, or a colour and cut at Chermside, our student clinics are buzzing with happy clients and five-star feedback.

And it’s not just the public noticing. Employers are hiring our graduates, recommending them, and asking when the next round’s coming through. That’s the kind of outcome we’re proud to stand behind.

The student clinics that clients can’t stop talking about

Our students aren’t just learning for the sake of it. They’re working on real clients, building up their speed, precision and people skills in actual treatment rooms and salons.

And the feedback? It speaks for itself.

“Kaitlyn has done an amazing job and really worked on the areas I needed. I hope her future in remedial massage is rewarding and fruitful. Definitely coming back for another massage”
Kyle, Maroochydore Clinic

“I had Jess C colour my hair recently and the colour is amazing! She was so lovely and professional, I have 2 more appointments booked and can not wait to see the colour result.”
Ashlee, Toowoomba Clinic

“My recent anti-aging facial was absolutely awesome! My skin not only looked, but also felt incredible afterwards. Tianie is a true professional; she genuinely listened to my skin concerns and crafted an individualised treatment that was perfect for me. Highly recommended – I’ll certainly be rebooking!”
Jenna, Maroochydore Clinic

These are the kinds of moments that give students real confidence. And give clients a reason to come back.

From student to staff favourite

Over the past few years, more and more of our graduates have stepped straight into jobs, some even before finishing their final assessments. One of the standout employers? Noosa Springs Spa, a luxury wellness destination known for premium treatments and high standards.

It’s a great example of what’s possible when training is hands-on, support is consistent, and students are treated like professionals from day one.

Trainers who walk the walk

Ask any Demi student what made their experience great, and chances are they’ll mention their trainer.

“I had Nicole as my trainer as a nail student. She is so lovely and so patient and understanding. I really value her expertise and profound skills. I learned so much. 10/10.”

— Akariku, Nail Tech Student

“I have just completed my Diploma of Beauty here at Demi International. The course itself is so hands-on and so informative, but I wouldn’t have been able to finish without my amazing teacher Donna. She was always very thorough with her teaching, making sure we understood the theory before the hands-on treatments. She created such a beautiful space for us all to learn and has given me the tools to go out into the beauty world, feeling confident in everything I have learnt. Such a supportive and warm environment, I am so glad I came to study at Demi!”.

Natalya, Beauty Therapy Student

Educators like Nicole and Donna don’t just teach technique. They build students’ confidence, offer real feedback, and show them how to deliver a service that clients will remember for all the right reasons.

Stories that show what’s possible

Some students come to Demi straight from school. Others arrive later, ready for a career change or a new challenge. Either way, our grads prove that when you’re trained well, opportunities come knocking.

Like Kirah, who launched her own beauty business not long after graduating. Or Cooper, who left school early to start barbering as a young teen, with clients already lining up. 

Then there’s John, who found a new career after visiting a mafia-style salon in the US, and Gracie, who managed to juggle Year 12 and a nail technology qualification at the same time.

Success stories like this don’t surprise us. They’re the result of the hands-on, high-quality education we deliver each day.
