Five Star training connects professional knowledge with meaningful hands-on practice. You will understand not only what to do, but why it works, how it should feel and how to apply it professionally.

Strong foundations

Learn anatomy, lymphatic flow and safe working practices, so you understand what you are doing from the very first day.

Small groups

Training is taught in small groups, with clear demonstrations, time to practise and individual feedback on your technique.

Never rushed

The day is adapted to the pace of the students. Training may finish slightly later when more practice or explanation is needed.

Your own treatment

Learn to read the person in front of you and adapt your touch, instead of repeating exactly the same routine for every client.

Meet Your Educator

I’m Anna Makowska, a fully qualified beauty therapist, educator and the founder of Five Star Beauty Academy and the award-winning Beauty Space Glasgow.

I gained my beauty education and specialist training in both Scotland and Poland. I continue to develop my knowledge through professional courses, practical experience and the treatments I perform every day at Beauty Space Glasgow.

For me, this work has always been about the person in front of me. I take time to listen, understand how each client feels and adapt every treatment to their individual needs. I adjust my touch, pressure and pace because I want every client to feel comfortable, understood and truly cared for.

I bring exactly the same approach to my teaching. Just as every client is different, every student learns differently too. Some people learn best by watching, while others need to practice a movement several times, ask questions or have it explained in a different way.

This is why I teach in small groups. It gives me the time to connect with every student, notice where they need extra support and help them build confidence without feeling rushed or judged.

I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and repeating techniques as many times as you need. My teaching style is warm, practical and easy to follow, and I adapt the training to your pace.

I will teach you the complete treatment routine, but I will also explain why we use each technique, what you should feel beneath your hands and how to adapt your approach to the person in front of you.

My goal is for you to leave the training feeling supported, confident and excited to use your new skills. I want you to create treatments that feel natural to you and make your clients feel welcome, understood and truly cared for.

Reviews

What our students say

I had the pleasure of taking part in training with Five Star Beauty Academy, and I can honestly say it was a great experience from start to finish.

The training was professional, well organised and, at the same time, carried out in a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Everything was explained clearly and patiently, with plenty of practical guidance and attention to detail.

I particularly appreciated the knowledge, professionalism and individual approach throughout the training. I left feeling more confident, inspired and well prepared to put my new skills into practice in my own salon.

I would definitely recommend Five Star Beauty Academy to anyone looking for professional training delivered with passion and genuine care for the student.

Beata Przerada Soul Therapy Spa

I completed my Korean Head Spa training and I’m extremely happy with the experience. The training was professional, informative and very well explained, with a great balance of theory and practical techniques.

I learned so much about scalp care, massage techniques and how to create a truly relaxing experience for clients. Everything was demonstrated clearly and I felt supported throughout the training.

I finished the course feeling much more confident and excited to introduce Korean Head Spa treatments to my clients. I would definitely recommend Five Star Beauty Academy to anyone looking to expand their skills and offer something special in their salon or spa.
