Better Your Practice

In this exclusive editorial, we hear from Georgia Harper, who, after creating a successful aesthetics business, felt it was time to give back to other practitioners to help educate, empower, and uplift through Gigi Aesthetics Training Academy.

Please introduce us to Gigi Aesthetics and what it strives to achieve.

Gigi Aesthetics is a northeast-based aesthetics clinic, named after my daughter, Gigi, back in 2020. Since opening, I’ve ensured I train with the best cosmetologists in the country to perfect my skills and safety. Fast forward five years, and I’m now a successful aesthetics educator.

I can recall first starting out and waiting for what seemed like forever to get a booking. Since then, through bloody sweat and tears, alongside raising three beautiful children, I’ve managed to build up an incredibly loyal client base. Some clients even fly in from different countries for treatment (a huge pinch-me moment!). Now I feel like it’s time to give back to other practitioners through training and education.

How has your experience and qualifications in the industry led you to provide training to others?

Over the years, I’ve witnessed some excellent training and training where I’ve left feeling a little bit short-changed! This then inspired me to create a training academy where students left feeling educated, happy, and confident with ongoing support.

At Gigi Aesthetics Training Academy, we aim to provide a high standard of education, ensuring our students are confident upon completing their training with us. I like to keep my classes smaller and intimate to ensure all students have my attention at all times throughout their training.

Throughout my career, I’ve reinvested thousands into qualifications and master classes, which eventually pushed me into finding my own niche and technique. Eventually, this led me to take more of an education route to share my knowledge and niche with new practitioners.

Please discuss the importance of continued training in the industry.

Ongoing training is vital in this industry. Whether that’s brushing up on safety, enhancing your skills, or even sharing knowledge with other practitioners, this is all key to having a successful career in aesthetics.

There’s always room for improvement!

What are the most popular training courses you offer?

My most popular training courses are ‘The Gigi Lip Masterclass’—for current practitioners looking to enhance their lip techniques—and ‘The Career Starter Course’ for those looking to start a fresh career in aesthetics.
