About From Passion to Profession: Our Student Stories
You do not need to start with professional skills to build a career here. Every student you see on this page began with zero knowledge of products or how to handle a brush, just like Monica or Nalini. We focus on hands-on repetition until your technique becomes second nature, paired with real internship opportunities that get you working on actual salon floors. Whether you want to master SFX makeup or manage your own clinic, your portfolio starts with these first, practical steps.
Our curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between being an enthusiast and becoming a professional. When you join, you are not just memorizing theory; you are in the lab, working with Galvanic, High-Frequency, and Vacuum Suction machines. We know that the beauty industry is competitive. That is why our training includes rigorous internship modules at partner salons. This is where you learn how to handle client pressure, manage bookings, and maintain professional hygiene standards.
Many of our students, like Latika and Prajakta, used these foundations to land spots at events like the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) and Lakmē Fashion Week. This is not just about learning makeup; it is about building a network. Whether you are aiming for a position at a luxury retail brand like Nykaa Luxe or planning to open your own salon, we provide the mentorship to get you there. From CIDESCO global certifications to domestic B&WSSC assessments, we ensure your skills are recognized, giving you the confidence to compete in any market.
Lakmē Academy
We started this academy because we saw too many people struggling with online tutorials that never taught the science behind the art. We are here to help you find your professional identity, whether you are a complete beginner or looking to advance your technical skills to a global standard.
