Natalie Rook

Program: Cosmetology
Start Date: September 2015
Projected Graduation Date: August 2016
Names and ages of kids: Kayden, 9 years old

The most rewarding part of being a mom:
Watching him grow up to be a well-rounded boy. He’s such a gentleman and he is so smart. He’s changing all the time and I couldn’t be more proud of the little man he is becoming.

The most challenging thing about going to school and being a mom:
Juggling everything. I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past nine years so this has been a huge adjustment.

What made you decide to go to school at this point in your life?
Kayden is a little older now and I was ready for a change. It was now or never!

What advice do you have for other moms who are contemplating about going back to school?
It seems that no time is the right time. As moms we put our kids first, as we should, but there is a time when you have to do something for you— so do it!

How do you plan on spending Mother’s Day?
With my husband and son at home relaxing.

Standing Ovations

from our students and graduates

Jeliane Mercado

Cosmetology

“I chose Bellus because I've always wanted to have a career where I would make people feel better about themselves. The education exceeded my expectations and the program has helped me step out of my comfort zone and discover my passion for cosmetology. During my time here, my favorite experience has been doing make-up at the Kansas City fashion week, which was unforgettable!”

Adrian Roy

Barbering

“What inspired me to pursue barbering was seeing the before and after, the connection that I make with people and seeing their reaction of how much they love the end result. My favorite part so far has been making the connection with friends here and watching us all grow together in our craft. My most memorable moments have been with my instructors with Teffi and Carlo they have always motivated me to do my best and without their help I wouldn’t be as successful as I am now!”

Briana Wrider

Spa Nails

“I enrolled in Spa Nails because I was interested in trying a different path in life. I am a mom to 3 and I wanted to show them a future doing something that you love. Making people feel relaxed, building friendships and leaving them happy with their nails!”

Esthetics

“I chose Bellus Academy because of their success rates and the Master Esthetics program. I wanted to feel knowledgeable and well equipped to enter the industry with advanced training. To know I would be able to walk out of my program confident in my ability to perform services such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion motivated me. My CIDESCO certification enables me to be a practicing esthetician internationally!”

Jessica Reed

Esthetics

“I chose Bellus Academy because of the reviews and seeing it rated #1. My favorite part of my Esthetics program was the Medical-Luxury Spa training. It opened my mind to a lot of different things that I wasn’t even expecting. My plan after I graduation is to work for a Spa on a cruise ship to gain that experience before I own my own business!”

My advice for anyone looking to attend Bellus Academy is to just go for it; it's a once in a lifetime experience that can help you discover so much about yourself and grow as a person!"
