JL Aesthetics expands training academy

JL Aesthetics has launched a new barber and beauty training academy in Burnley, offering a range of accredited courses.

The new academy will be based within a historic school house on Lowerhouse Lane in Burnley, which has recently been  renovated to become the company's consolidated new business headquarters.

The academy will replace JL Aesthetics’ previous training centre in Accrington and will offer a much wider range of fully accredited CPD training courses in hair and aesthetics.

Training will be divided into two specialist areas, with one dedicated to hair and barbering and the other to aesthetics. Budding practitioners can choose from non-invasive treatment courses such as micropigmentation, facial scrubs, chemical peels, hair removal, and various anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation procedures such as Meso+ gentle skin needling.

Over the coming months, the timetable will further expand to offer semi-permanent makeup, laser hair removal and 3D lipo. Also in development is JL Aesthetics’ own salon professional beauty range called ‘epi-nu’, encompassing 28 anti-ageing, stem cell and moisturising products for all skin types with beautiful citrus scents.

Students can also join ‘top up’ courses, such as a dedicated course on fitting male hair pieces, a procedure which has grown in demand over recent years.

Founder Joseph Lanzante, who trained at Alan International Hair Salon in London’s Knightsbridge and has worked in the industry more than 35 years, said: "The new academy will be the North-West’s ultimate destination for existing specialists looking to expand their skillsets as well as fledgling industry newcomers. We will be offering the very best training and most innovative courses to set our students up for long-term success in their chosen hair and aesthetics careers.

“The old school house has a distinctive charm about it, so we’ve kept all the original features but given it a modern and new contemporary feel to the interior. There’s a fantastic atmosphere about it which makes you feel motivated and full of energy as soon as you walk through the door."
