MAKING people feel good about themselves is Serena Van Someren’s favourite part of working in the beauty industry.
Making people feel good about themselves is Serena Van Someren’s favourite part of working in the beauty industry.

I studied the Certificate IV and Diploma of Beauty Therapy at South West TAFE while also working at Aesthetic Beauty Spot in Warrnambool.

I had always loved beauty and was always practicing on myself and my sisters. I thought if I enjoyed beauty as a hobby, why not try to make a career out of something that I love?

I love working in the industry and particularly love working with clients and helping to make them feel confident and beautiful after their treatments.

Make-up, spray tanning and tinting treatments give an instant result which I really love.

I really enjoyed my training and the teachers at South West TAFE were really hands-on and supportive whenever I needed help.

Now that I have completed my studies, I’m looking forward to continuing to work at Aesthetic Beauty Spot and advancing my skills. I am always wanting to keep learning.
