Style Academy International is so amazing! I loved the coursework, Louisa's prompt responses, and how easy the modules were to follow.
Homework was FUN and challenging at the same time. It left me prepared to start my own business and do virtual color analysis. 10/10 would recommend, and have! :)

I absolutely loved my course.
This is not some easy online program — you really have to put the time and work into it. I had a tight schedule and was still able to complete my course.
The instructor is thorough and on point with her materials and theory. She is an expert who clearly loves what she does. She isn’t going to just hand you your certificate — you must do the work and understand the material.
I highly recommend this course. The instructor was prompt and professional in all her responses.
Lesley -Anne Slisko-Cooper
Taking the Color Consultant course was one of the best decisions I made before starting my color analysis business.
Louisa’s feedback was incredibly helpful — she doesn’t just grade your work; she gives you practical, thoughtful input that builds your confidence and skills.
I also really appreciated the digital resources included with the course. They gave me a huge head start and saved me so much time when I actually launched my business.
Highly recommend!

The Personal Stylist Certification Program gave me everything I needed to build the solid foundation my business stands on today. Every principle, technique, and framework taught in the program is exactly what every aspiring stylist needs to become grounded in the essentials of personal styling.
Because of the depth and clarity of the curriculum, it became easier for me to deepen my learning and expand into advanced styling with confidence. If I hadn’t gone through those foundational steps, I wouldn’t be a certified professional stylist today and definitely not the one I am now.
It’s a program I genuinely recommend for any aspiring personal stylist who wants to build their career on the right foundation. And beyond the teaching, the customer care was exceptional. The response time to inquiries and the attention to detail in every response made me feel seen, supported, and valued throughout the journey.
