From Stay-at-Home Mum to Beauty Business Owner: Leah’s Success Story

Blog

Leah is one of thousands of students who’ve transformed their careers through Learning Online Group’s job-ready training. As a mother of three, she studied after bedtime and built Laniakea Beauty—proving that flexible online education creates real business outcomes for real people.

Meet Leah: Late-Night Study Sessions to Business Owner

“I’ve always had a love for beauty and I wanted to take that next step,” Leah explains. That passion, combined with determination and a laptop that came out after 8pm, became Laniakea Beauty—a thriving business that now supports her family.

Leah completed four strategic courses with Australian Beauty School:

  1. Makeup Artistry – Her foundation (pardon the pun!)
  2. Facial Waxing and Tinting – Expanding services to reach more clients.
  3. Facials – Deepening expertise that drove repeat visits.
  4. Eyelash Extensions – Adding high-demand, recurring revenue

I love that you can study in your own time,” she shares. “I did most of my study at night when the kids went to bed, so I love that about it as well, just that flexibility.

The Life-Changing Result

It’s definitely changed my life. I now run my own business and I can make my own hours, which is really handy as a mum of three. Always having to be somewhere and do something, I can make and set my own hours.

Today, Leah operates her self managed, purpose built website through the Fingertip booking platform, managing appointments around school runs, family commitments, and life as a parent. Her business isn’t a side hustle—it’s legitimate income with recurring clients, multiple revenue streams, and room to grow.

Within months of graduating, Leah was serving paying clients. Within a year, she had a sustainable business. That’s the power of job-ready training that translates directly into income.
