"There were also times when Elite went above and beyond for me and I couldn’t be more grateful."

“Your skin is the first companion you’re born with – and the last you leave this earth with.”

“Elite has given me a good foundation of knowledge to build on. It is not until you go out into the industry that you realise how little you actually know."

"My time at Elite has been awesome. I’ve met some lovely new friends and had a lot of fun! Each day is different at Elite, whether it’s theory or receiving a massage"

"I was an older student, so it was nice that the campus was very welcoming. Everything was available when needed, and I enjoyed being on campus."

“My beauty role models would have to be a few of my tutors at Elite. Hearing the stories about how they have helped people and what they have done throughout their careers motivates me to be the best I can be.”

"The tutors were awesome, and there was lots of work experience, practical opportunities, and theory too. All of this gave me value as the trainer I am now."

"NZIS is a family orientated organisation. The staff is very supportive and I thoroughly enjoyed the environment."

"I loved Cut Above for creating a safe space that accepts and celebrates all of its students, especially LGBTQIA+, and the deep-rooted feeling of whanaungatanga imparted to its tauira, by its staff."
