For anyone in the Los Angeles area who wants body contouring training and is weighing the flexibility of written online study against learning in person at a working studio. Taught from founder Isabel Mendez's actively booked Redondo Beach studio.
In-person training is available now; the online course is a presale with an estimated launch date. If you want to start soon, in person is the only option today.
Online study is written lessons with module quizzes, a final assessment and a practical submitted by video. In-person training is held at the Redondo Beach studio, with dates arranged by inquiry.
Equipment is only offered with in-person training, as a base machine package with optional upgrades quoted separately.
The academy does not interpret California law or decide who may practice. One official place to begin is the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology; it may not cover every service or device, so also confirm with your city or county before offering services.
Educational training, not medical advice. The academy certificate is not a government license, and no income or business results are promised.
Planned course at release
Training videos are not promised at launch; written lessons are the primary experience.
