About Us

Carolyne Cross opened Omni Academy of Beauty in the heart of Walton on Thames in 2008. Approximately 300 students per year run through our academy, launching them into their successful careers.

At Omni Academy of Beauty we pride ourselves on training our students to the highest standard. We are passionate about enabling our learners to achieve industry recognised qualifications, giving them the best start in their new career.

Finding colleges or a beauty therapy school that suits your needs isn’t always straightforward, but with a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 programmes and a team of dedicated tutors, we truly believe that we offer students of all ages the very best of everything.

Gaining the correct accreditation in this rewarding industry can open up many new doors and the VTCT stamp of approval could lead to offers from salons, cruise ships, or perhaps even opening your own salon.

My teaching career has taken me from private education to large FE colleges where my primary responsibilities were to plan and run full time courses.

I have a passion for high standards and professionalism in Beauty Therapy and I am a qualified Examiner and External Verifier for two of the top awarding Bodies. Above all, I gain the greatest satisfaction knowing that I have trained students to the highest possible standards and encouraged them to continually develop their skills, hopefully enabling them to improve their career opportunities and overall job satisfaction.

When she returned to the UK, she got back in touch with Omni Academy of Beauty and we welcomed her on board as our Marketing and PR executive. Her role has developed and she is now also in charge of Student Liaisons ad Business Development.

Rianna thrives on helping people find Omni Academy of Beauty and gain the success she herself has experienced with us.

Staci’s true ambition was to work on the cruise ships and in 2008 she joined Steiner’s, working on board the new cruise ship “NCL Gem”.

Staci specialized in Ionthermie treatments and traveled to different locations such as New York, the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Europe. Part of Staci’s job was also to travel from one ship to another training other beauty therapists on the most up to date treatments and skills available to passengers. This is where Staci’s passion for teaching started and on returning to the UK she gained her teaching qualification.

Staci joined Omni Academy of Beauty in January 2010 and has become a hugely valued member of our teaching team.

“Owning a salon placed me in a position that required me to employ therapists and work closely with people, beginning their careers in the industry and instilling in them a high standard and level of professionalism. The natural feed on from this for me was to take my knowledge into teaching.”

Lisa maintains her professional skills, running a smaller Beauty Therapy treatment room. She brings to Omni Academy her passion for professionalism, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge which she has established throughout her career.
