About this collection
People love to gossip about my ₹25,000 course fees, asking what I could possibly teach for that price. But look at who attended my launch—these are not people who endorse low-quality work. They support me because they have seen my two decades of work and the hundreds of students who are now running their own successful salons. When you choose my academy, you are not just getting a training course; you are getting the backing of a reputation built on real, visible results.
When I started my academy at RPC Layout, I faced plenty of 'haters' claiming a ₹25,000 professional makeup course couldn't be legit. They spread cheap tricks and rumours. But the visuals here prove otherwise. That is not just a party; it is evidence of credibility. Having leaders like MLA Priya Krishna and Smt. S Umarani, ACP, grace our opening shows that this institution is a solid, recognized centre of learning.
Celebrities like Chaithra Kundapura do not just show up to support anyone; they come because they trust the techniques I teach. When you join my academy, you are not just signing up for a basic class. You are joining a family that has the backing of industry veterans and real-world professionals. We keep our fees low so every girl can stand on her own feet, but we keep our standards high. If you want a real career in makeup, don't listen to the gossip. Come see the work, meet my successful students, and decide for yourself.
