The Style Academy understands that the future of industry leaders starts here. That is why we want every person who works here, learns here or receives services here to feel valued and respected.

The work environment is very important to us at The Style Academy and that is why we’ve deliberately designed a culture called ‘The TSA Way’

WHAT IS ‘CULTURE’?

Culture is ‘how we do things around here’. It’s what we value, our norms around how we do things, and how we behave with each other, whether we’re interacting with educators, students or salon clients.

We hold each other accountable and that is why all students and staff adhere to the TSA Code of Honour.

ADVANCED EDUCATIONCLASSIC LASH EXTENSION TECHOur training consists of a 2-day program. There are 2 main categories of fundamental skills that are thoroughly addressed each day- theory and hands on application skills. Every aspect of our training program is designed to provide our students with the highest quality of eyelash extension skills.

Our students are given the skills and opportunity to thrive in their own business and work life. Graduated students can be sure of their own skills and feel optimistic of their future as an eyelash extension artist.

VOLUME LASH EXTENSION TECHThe Volume Eyelash Extension Certificate program is an advanced course available only to those Eyelash Technicians who have been offering Classic Eyelash Extensions for six months or longer. This advanced education teaches students the art of offering a volume application procedure. Volume Eyelash extensions are applied by adhering multiple extensions to each individual natural lash. This course will teach students the technique of fanning multiple volume eyelashes out onto the natural lash without applying unnecessary weight to the eyelash follicle. The Volume Bella Lash Training course covers all aspects to become a successful lash artist including: lash anatomy, health and sanitation guidelines, eyelash application and aftercare practices.

LASH LIFTLash Lift is the newest in semi-permanent lash curling that works with your natural lashes. This is unlike the traditional perming system of wrapping lashes around a sponge rod, which can cause the lashes to over-curl and look short and stubby. Instead, Lash Lift uses different sizes of silicone pads and each lash is “lifted” individually, creating a perfect curl for your lash length. With lifted lashes, your eyes immediately open up and lashes appear fuller and longer.

Treatment is about an hour with results lasting 4-8 weeks. Make your eyes pop even more with a lash tint, which can be done at the same time.

SUNLESS TANNINGWomen put make-up on their face every day to make them feel beautiful. What if you could do the same with your body? Clients are not just coming for tans but making them feel good about their skin and body. The answer to the number one questions that is asked everyday is of question every “Will I be orange?” No absolutely not, product has come such a long way since then. Our orange looking days are over!
