Here are some of the most frequently asked questions…

How long has Grace Albert Aesthetics been in business?

Grace Albert Aesthetics purchased Adriel International in June 2008. Company President, Betsy Patterson, a former Adriel master trainer, worked closely with Victoria Bush, former owner of Adriel and author of the best- selling book, “How to Create the Perfect Brow” to ensure a smooth transition.

Today, Grace Albert Aesthetic trainers are committed to excellence by helping beauty professionals improve their waxing and brow design skills through our advanced education classes.  With over 100 group and private training sessions taking place each year, you are sure to find a quality learning opportunity that fits your schedule.

What makes Grace Albert Aesthetics classes unique?

With over 50 years of combined practical experience, our master trainers have helped to develop hands-on, advanced training classes that rival all others on the market today. Our classes begin with in depth theory, supported by well-organized class materials, and closely monitored hands-on experience. Class registration is kept small in order to offer lots of personalized attention.

We are known throughout the industry as a company of “firsts” - the first to offer an extensive brow design class fexclusively for beauty professionals; the first to incorporate our own brow design text book, brow stencils and brow cream into our curriculum; the first to offer 3-D Brazilian design instruction and innovative design stencils, and much, much more. We were also the first advanced training company to allow our students to “audit” a second class if they felt the need for more instruction and/or additional hands-on experience.

Who can attend a class?

Our classes are reserved for Grace Albert Aesthetics members only. To be a GAA member you need to be one of the following: a licensed cosmotologist, esthetician, or medical professional; permanent make-up technician; make-up artist; or a student who is currently enrolled in an accredited beauty school and has completed at least 2/3rd of their state-mandated curriculum. All students will recieve a class Certificate of Completion, and we remind everyone that they need to adhere to the education and licensing requirements in their individual states in order to legally offer their services for hire. Our 4-hour classes are not intended to license or legally certfiy anyone to provide services to the public, and are only intended to help beauty professionals to improve their skill set.

How do I register for a class?

Once you have registered as a Grace Albert Aesthetics "member" and recieved your username and password, you can register for a class on-line or by phone: we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.  Your class registration is not secure until paid in full, and WE DO NOT ACCEPT CASH OR PERSONAL CHECKS . Please note that  we purposely keep class sizes small (between 6 - 12 persons) in order to offer a quality learning experience, so classes tend to fill up quickly. 

Do you offer salon/spa specials for multiple attendees? How about private training sessions?

We offer private training opportunities for both groups, as well as one-to-one instruction. These sessions are customized to fit client needs. Prices vary, so contact our main office for quotes and more information.

Are your classes co-ed?

At this time our Day of Brows, Tip2Toe Body Waxing and Male Brazilian Waxing classes are open to both men and women. Our Female Day of Brazilian class is a female-only class (its a model issue guys): male beauty professionals interested in our  female brazilian class are urged to contact the main office for private training opportunities available in their area.

What is your class cancellation policy?

Grace Albert Aesthetics will provide registered students a full refund upon receipt of written notice of cancellation, if received a minimum of 10 days prior to beginning of class.

Cancellation requests received after this date will not be eligible for refunds, but will be given a credit to use towards any product and/or services (classes) purchased within the next 12 months. Grace Albert Aesthetics reserves the right to cancel a class at its sole discretion for any reason, at any time prior to the start of the class, and in all such cases will provide students with a full refund within 7 business days of cancellation.

Do you provide body waxing or brow design videos?

Not at this time. We firmly believe that the best way to learn and become more confident providing advanced waxing and/or brow design services is to attend a class. Learning in our classroom environment allows you the opportunity to immediately put into use the techniques you have just learned under the watchful eye of an instructor. All of our trainers are high-experienced beauty professionals who know how to encourage and nuture you along to success.
