Esthetics Instruction From Bellus Academy
The mission of Bellus Academy is to provide a culture of excellence where students feel inspired to achieve their career dreams in the field of beauty. We produce career-ready professionals with an in-depth curriculum taught by award-winning instructors.
In addition to our licensed instructors possessing extensive industry knowledge, they have a passion for teaching the next wave of beauty and skincare specialists, such as Brittney Johnson.
“My first skincare coaches were the team of educators at Bellus Academy,” says Johnson, who acknowledges her coaches and mentors played a big role in supporting her success. “I value my mentors and the Bellus Academy educators. At some point, they, too, were rookies, and now they are inspiring me to help others.”
Bellus Academy takes great pride in seeing its students achieve personal and professional success and encourages them to always believe in themselves. According to Johnson, it was this level of encouragement that she needed to move past fear and embrace risk.
“I was encouraged by a Bellus Academy educator to enter the Circadia Rookie of the Year competition. At first, I was hesitant because I’d been off social media for several years. But, submitting an online look was a required part of the competition, so I moved past the fear and put together a fall beauty look. Fortunately, the judges, which included social media influencers, liked the look I submitted.”
Johnson continues to lean on her education from Bellus Academy to further her career, as she was recently selected to join the Circadia Diversity Committee and its prestigious ambassador program. This opportunity will allow Johnson to elevate her knowledge of skincare and mentor others in the industry.
