Today we will be having a quick chat with Hayley Belamy, who is one of our lecturers here at ACBT!

Hello! My name is Hayley and I am a lecturer here at the Australian College of Beauty Therapy, focusing on Waxing, Facials, Spray Tanning and Eyelash Extensions. I have been a qualified beauty therapist working in the Beauty Industry for 16 years. I have been lucky enough to travel the world and work in some of the worlds top 5 spa's, as well as working with the world's leading skin care products.

I have always had a passion for fashion and beauty from such a young age, so when I completed work experience at a beauty college in Wales at the age of 14, I knew I wanted to start my beauty journey!

I love indulging in spa treatments of any kind especially Aromatherapy Massage.

My ultimate treatments to perform are Facials. Facials and skincare is definitely my area of expertise and​ I enjoy educating my students and helping my clients to reach their ultimate skin care goals.

 

I love being apart of the fulfilling journey - supporting and encouraging my students to develop their passion and skill. ​Everyday is different and seeing the students learning new skills and watching them grow is really rewarding. I love to see where their careers take them!

There is now a growing interest in natural organic beauty, and my favourite product is - Kosmea Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. This oil is certified organic and the blend is designed specifically for oily combination skin. It helps to regulate the skins oil production, improve skin tone, wrinkles and protect against the environment.

Today we will be speaking with Kirsty Kirkham, one of our lecturers here at ACBT!

I work at the college between lecturing and student clinic. I love this variation and the skill set to teach across the Beauty curriculum, educating our therapists of the future while sharing my knowledge and passion of this industry, whilst teaching quality practice and high standards

I became interested in the beauty industry from a really young age at school. I couldn't choose between Beauty Therapy or Teaching, so I thought why not do both?

I love to perform all aspects of facials and body treatments. The difference and impact you can make to someone’s skin with the correct delivery of education, regular treatments and a manageable home care routine can be so rewarding. In addition, there’s nothing better than a client arriving and seeing the difference when they leave after having a well performed body treatment. With being 8 months pregnant at the moment, I love spoiling myself by having various pregnancy treatments around Perth and using lots of Clarins products during this stage as well.

I love watching students grow and develop into true professionals with all the new skills that they learn. Seeing their confidence grow throughout the terms and the year when working on clients and gaining first hand feedback.

Ella Bache Great Face Tan gives a gorgeous, subtle, healthy glow all year round!

Setting career progression goals which saw me first teaching in the UK at 25 years old with a Degree in teaching and also recently travelling extensively throughout Australia as guest speaker for Ella Bache.

All of the lecturers and support staff care about each student and the journey that they have with us. The team has an extensive range of experience and knowledge which we love to share to ensure our therapists of the future are set up and ready to achieve each and everything that they wish for.

Today we will be speaking with Emily Rubic, one of our lecturers here at ACBT!

Well, my name is Emily Rubic and I am a lecturer and Salon Coordinator here at ACBT. I teach and assess Body Treatments, Spray Tanning, Aromatherapy Blending while coordinating the ACBT Student Clinic and our beauty students who complete their salon hours.  

When I first left school and starting having beauty treatments done on myself in a salon, I knew I wanted to be in that Industry! I started with a nail course before I was able to go to college, and as soon as I was old enough in enrolled into my Beauty Therapy Level 2 and later went on to do my level 3 afterwards (which is equivalent to a Diploma over here in Australia)

I love to do facials and body treatments, like massage. They are my favourites to perform as I find them relaxing and everyone enjoys them. I also like that you get good results from both.

I love to receive facials over anything else. There is something about a facial massage that makes me fall asleep!

I like seeing the journey that the students go on. I also love that I continue to learn while doing this as a job – My own personal development keeps me relevant in the beauty industry and helps me continue growing my knowledge

I don't really have a favourite product. I love to try everything and change products a lot to keep trying different things! If I had to choose one product, I would probably say a face mask, although I can't choose a brand or mask that I prefer!

Biggest achievement to date would probably be traveling Europe and doing Spa training, as well as being able to take my beauty therapy qualifications overseas to Australia to continue working with my passion!

ACBT has amazing facilities for all of our students. We also offer multiple courses through ACSM, ACMM and AACDS, so our students can choose different pathways to follow in the industry.  We are also CIDESCO certified which is huge and a VERY good opportunity for our students.

I would go to somewhere tropical. As long as there is white sand and blue sky, I could be anywhere in the world!
