MEET ELEY
I started in the beauty industry in 1998 when I did the CIDESCO and CIBTAC qualifications. At the time (and still to this day) it was the highest international qualification you could study for.
Once graduated, I managed a small salon owned by one of my lecturers and looked at working on a cruise ship as I loved to travel. My dad got wind of this and in an attempt to keep me home, he bought a beauty salon in Warwick and put me in as manager! I worked here until he passed away in 2003.
I’ve gone on to work as an educator and state manager for various skin care companies before starting a large salon in Mundaring where I stayed for nearly 5 years.
Since moving down to Midland, I have made a niche as a Facialist and was able to employ my eldest daughter who did her Traineeship in Beauty Therapy.
I’m incredibly lucky to wake up every day and do facials for a living. And as a mother to a daughter who was relentlessly bullied at school, to be able to provide an education in this amazing industry, away from awful teenagers, has been a God-send.
Aside from my CIDESCO and CIBTAC qualifications, over the years I’ve also done countless product educations – some in Australia, some overseas. I’ve completed my certificate in Phlebotomy, my certificate in skin needling and plasma treatments as well as attending training interstate & overseas for Buccal Facials and Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Electrolysis, Laser and IPL are also qualifications that I’ve worked hard to receive. I never stop learning - however I’ve also realised that the more I know…the more I don’t know!!
