Our Story

How did Leanne Slater Studios begin?

Back in 2013 Leanne took a course in Eyelash Extension application. She had a full time employed job at the time so the lashes were more of a hobby than anything. She soon came to realise this was something she enjoyed and could earn an income from... In 2017 she decided to hand her notice in at her current job and become her own boss.

At the very end of 2017 Leanne signed for her first commercial premises and worked tirelessly for 3 months to ensure it was open by the end of March 2018. That was when Leanne Slater Studios was born. The studio was one of a kind and there was nothing alike for miles. Leanne grew a team there who all specialised in various treatments meaning we could offer the ultimate pamper package under one roof. 

In 2019 Leanne studied for her Teaching Qualification. Once passed, Eyelash Extensions was the first course she designed. It had to be. Thats where it all started. The course sold out every single date. Students wanted to come back and learn more so we launched training in other subjects too. We teach most aspects of Beauty and Aesthetics. To date we have trained hundreds of talented therapists who work not only in the UK but some now overseas too! 

The demand for training became so high that it was the end of an era for the studio and the beginning for the academy. The academy has recently celebrated its 6th year anniversary. We have expanded the team and whilst Leanne does still teach some courses herself we have another 2 educators - Jamie and Leah, both who trained initially at the academy. We are a full time training academy now and function 7 days a week, offering training throughout the week and on weekends too to accommodate for everybody.

The best part of the job for us is seeing you all succeed in all that you set your mind too. Student success will always be at the forefront of our business and without you all our academy wouldn't exist.
