Your one-stop bridal training academy in the North East
This industry is about much more than just doing makeup or hair. Brides want qualified professionals who listen, stay calm under pressure and deliver beautiful, long-lasting results on one of the biggest days of their lives.
Train in bridal makeup, bridal hair, brows and lashes under one roof at North East Academy. Build the skills to offer a more complete bridal beauty package — from pre-wedding brow and lash appointments to makeup and hair on the big day — across Stockton-on-Tees and the wider North East.
Technology can inspire a look, but it cannot calm a nervous bride, perfect a veil, soften a curl or help someone feel comfortable in the moment. Bridal and beauty remain hands-on careers where your personal touch matters.
North East Academy · potential daily takings
At North East Academy in Stockton-on-Tees, bridal and beauty training can open the door to a business that works around your life. In the bridal industry especially, your talent, personality, marketing, reputation and recommendations all help shape what is possible.
Potential day rate
Makeup artistry
Bridal and occasion makeup artists can build premium businesses. Some artists go beyond this — Some established makeup artists can take around £1,000 in bookings on a wedding day.
Potential day rate
Brows & lashes
These are great add-on services for brides before the big day, and they can also give you reliable weekday income when weddings are not on.
Potential day rate
Hair styling
Bridal and occasion hair can complement your makeup offering, helping you work towards one-stop bridal packages and referrals across the North East.
Figures show illustrative daily business takings, not guaranteed or average earnings. Actual income depends on skill, demand, pricing, experience, marketing, reputation, recommendations and business costs.
Dreaming of only working three days a week? Dreaming of 10am starts and a little less of the usual grind? Beauty appointments can give you more control over your diary and your quality of life. Bridal work often means earlier starts, but it can also mean early finishes too — some wedding mornings can be all wrapped up by 12pm, leaving the rest of your day free.
Do work you love, seek better work-life balance and turn your passion into a successful, profitable business.
Flexible hours and a profitable business are goals you can work towards, not guarantees — especially in bridal work, where weekends and early starts may still be part of the job.

Just want to say a huge thank you for the course, and all the help you have gave me! Even after the course we are still in contact trying to put together the perfect kit! Couldnt thank you enough Lisa Devanny. The course has give me so much confidence with makeup and I can’t wait to work alongside you in the future and hopefully attend more courses! I have not only learnt so much over the 5 days but made some amazing friends who I know I will be keeping in touch with, couldn’t recommend this academy anymore. Thank you!! xxx

I trained with Lisa in the week course of make up and covering the bridal element. From start to finish Lisa made sure I was comfortable and constantly showed professionalism. Lisa’s bubbly personality also made the course so much more enjoyable and nothing was a bother for her. We arrived on our first day with our kits ready and I was so shocked at how many amazing products we have received. Lisa gave us in depth demonstrations explaining in detail techniques and how we could then recreate these! On the afternoon we had the chance to recreate this look on our models with Lisa by our sides supporting and motivating us. The ongoing support I have received since the beginning of the course and after has been amazing. If anyone is looking at training in the makeup industry or other courses that is available I would definitely recommend choosing Lisa and NE Academy. Thank you again Lisa for a gorgeous week and I’m excited to get started as an MUA!

Beth Carroll April 2026
I recently attended the Perfect Your Own Makeup course at NE Academy and I can’t recommend it enough. As a 43-year-old woman, makeup has become a bit of a minefield. My skin has changed and the products I used in my 20s don’t work anymore.
I find myself buying products that are recommended on socials , but they never work for me.
This course was exactly what I needed. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we learned what actually works for our own face shapes, skin tones, and changing skin. Lisa colour mapped us to give us an idea of tones and shades to look for when buying makeup (and clothes) and the best places to test products to get a good match on your skin.
Everything was explained so clearly, and I came away with practical techniques I can confidently use every day. No paint by numbers teaching and a routine that will easily fit into my daily life.
The atmosphere was warm, supportive, and fun. I left feeling so much more confident doing my own makeup. Lisa showed us that we don’t need to spend fortunes to get good products plus imcluded in the course was a brush set a full face makeup kit in the style of a bogus magazine which we used on the day. Super cute but also really bloody good products.
If you’ve found makeup becoming trickier as your skin changes, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this course. Thank you Lisa, for such a fantastic experience.
