Payment for your class is required to register. (Class cost and payment info are communicated at the time of registration). Many of our classes involve a virtual component which is emailed to you prior to your in-person training date. As such, payment (not just a deposit) is required before access to this can be granted. We do have various payment plans available. Please contact us for more info!

One of the unique benefits of training with Cosmetologists is our after-training support. Following attending one of our classes you will have access to your trainer via text message and email for any questions. We have an open-door policy for our training classes for previous students. This means if you feel you would like to "retake" the class, you are more than welcome to attend another at no extra cost. (A maximum of 2 classes)

Dermaplaning, sometimes called epidermal levelling, is a safe professional exfoliation treatment.

We are the NZ distributor for DermaplanePro and use their training methods and products for all our dermaplaning classes. No other dermaplaning training provider in New Zealand offers an international dermaplaning-specific certification! DermaplanePro is the leader in dermaplaning certification classes, tools, supplies and support in the United States and around the world. Students who receive their Certification in Dermaplaning from DermaplanePro are further advanced in knowledge and technique as they complete a two tiered course that focuses a full day on hands-on experience. DermaplanePro was founded in Arizona by Rikki Kusy. Renowned for her training, Rikki believes learning is experiential as well as didactic. She created the course to be interesting, student involved, and provide a gradual learning approach for greater retention. We work with the finest surgical grade blades and medical grade products. As leaders in the field and always researching, DermaplanePro assures clients that they are receiving the highest quality education, tools, skin care products and supplies available.

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation process that does not use acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells. All of the exfoliation is achieved during your treatment and you will not peel or visibly shed skin after your service, while Peels can result in dramatic peeling in the days following a service. Dermaplaning provides a good alternative to peels for those who desire professional grade exfoliation without the potential social downtime.

A common myth – this is not possible! The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly exactly the same as it was – usually in about 3-6 weeks. (There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies: Vellus hair is the thin, fine, soft "peach fuzz" that typically covers the entire body. Terminal hair is the coarse hair that grows on the head, face in men, underarms, legs and pubic areas.) Dermaplaning, waxing, tweezing or any other depilatory form of hair removal cannot alter the type of hair grown in any given area.

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with active breakouts and men with heavy facial hair. If your client has active acne there are other treatments available that would be more beneficial, and it is necessary to wait until breakouts are healed before trying this treatment. This is, however, a great treatment for pregnant/nursing clients who want exfoliation without the use of chemicals.

Our trainers are internationally qualified in beauty therapy (CIDESCO or ITEC), have years of experience in the industry from working in clinics, teaching and working hands on with brands. In addition our education team lead is also qualified as an adult educator. We aren't salon owners who decided to offer training as a side hustle – education and your support is priority!

Our starter kits have been designed to give you everything you need to start out. We include a selection of essential products as well as supplies to perform the treatment with. We don't try and flog products you'll never use! Everything included is necessary for safe/effective treatment. Our kits are also of great value and many training classes offer considerable savings vs. purchasing products separately. If you need additional supplies, however, we can certainly add them to your kit at training.
