If you’ve ever felt like your formal beauty training left you unprepared for the real world - this episode is your wake-up call to raise the standard in your career and your client results.
Today, I sit down with Isabella Loneragan, internationally recognised dermal therapist, trainer, and Founder of The Dermal Diary, Isabella Loneragan Skin (Sydney and Bowral), Ragan Skin and now the Skinformé Academy. Isabella has spent the last year scaling her business, building an international education platform, and revolutionising how facial massage is taught and valued in our industry.
We go deep into the gaps in traditional beauty education, why advanced facial massage is a game-changer for both results and client loyalty, and how to bridge the divide between qualifications and real job readiness. Isabella also shares the realities of running multiple business streams while parenting, the role social media has played in her growth, and why continuous professional development is the ultimate career insurance.
Inside this episode:
✨ How Isabella turned her expertise into an international education platform
✨ The missing links in formal beauty training - and how to fix them
✨ Why facial massage is more than “pampering” (and the science behind its results)
✨ Balancing business, family, and self-growth without burning out
✨ The mindset shift that transforms both your confidence and client care
✨ How to foster a positive, collaborative beauty industry
If you’re ready to elevate your skills, boost your confidence, and deliver unmatched value to your clients - this conversation will show you exactly how to get there.
