Graduate Testimonials

Hayley Beare

I highly recommend Demi International as a training facility for beauty. The Toowoomba staff, Ali and Nikki, are incredible trainers and industry professionals. Their skills and knowledge from being in the industry for many years are absolutely invaluable and made the learning experience more informative and useful. By Ali encouraging me to continually practice the skills I had learnt each week, I gained confidence with my skills which led me to securing employment in a leading salon half way through my beauty therapy qualification.

Angela_Burden-160x160

Ange

I have enjoyed my time at Demi International. I started my diploma at another school on the Sunshine Coast and felt as if I was going around in circles and not learning anything. I made the decision to move to Demi International mid way through the year to finish my diploma and it was the best decision I made for myself. I would recommend anyone of any age to study with Demi International.

Gold Coast

My career in the beauty industry all started with my passion for skin, body and hair care which lead into a business venture in natural cosmetic products. Working at Wild Rose Hair, Mind, Body and Soul for the past 10 year has allowed me to follow my love for client services, there is nothing more rewarding then making someone feel good from the inside out. Doing Facials, massage and running day spa’s are just a few of my favourite things. I also freelance doing hair and makeup for specials occasions. One of the greatest things I love about being a beauty therapist is you never get bored, with all the different skills you have. I thoroughly enjoy being an educator; mentoring and nurturing students on their learning journeys.

I have been a Beauty Therapist for 17 years. During that time, I have worked in many international Day spas and Salons, I have started my own salon, freelanced as a Makeup Artist and competed in Beauty Therapy competitions which have taken me around the globe.

I gained so much valuable experience as a Therapist. I became a Trainer and Assessor so I could mentor budding therapists and continue working with people.

I am grateful for my career choice. I love my job and the endless opportunities this industry can offer you!
