Built for the modern beauty entrepreneur.
Girl Obsessions Beauty Academy was founded on a simple belief — every woman with the passion to become a beauty professional deserves world-class training she can actually afford.
Turn passion into profession.
We started Girl Obsessions to solve a problem we saw everywhere in South Africa — talented young women with the ambition to build beauty businesses, but nowhere affordable to learn from working professionals.
So we built the academy we wished existed: intimate cohorts, senior facilitators, professional kits you keep, and a curriculum that includes the business side of beauty from day one.
Today, our graduates run salons, freelance for brides, work backstage at fashion shoots, and teach in their own communities. Every course is designed to send you into the industry ready to earn.
Our values.
Empowering women
We believe every woman deserves the tools to build economic independence through skill.
Practical over theoretical
Real models, real kits, real technique. You'll practice on day one, not day five.
Business built in
Every graduate leaves knowing how to price, brand and market their new career.
Career for life
You become part of our alumni network — bookings, mentorship and referrals included.
Learn from working professionals.
Our facilitators are active industry professionals — nail artists, lash technicians, makeup artists and skincare therapists who run their own businesses. You'll learn what the market actually pays for.
