Every student arrives at Furless Beauty Institute with a unique story. For Teresa Waitherero, that story began with a desire to grow beyond her existing spa experience. Today, she is a confident skincare professional whose work reflects both her passion and her enhanced training.
We sat down with Teresa to learn more about her journey, her experience at Furless Beauty Institute, and how the program shaped her career in the beauty industry.
To begin, could you introduce yourself and tell us what brought you to Furless Beauty Institute?
“My name is Teresa, and I’m a spa therapist with a passion for helping people feel confident in their skin. In 2024, I had the opportunity to study Facial Skin Care at Furless Beauty Institute in Dubai, and it has been a truly transformative experience in both my personal and professional journey.”
You already had spa experience before joining the course. What made you want to advance your training?
Teresa explains that although she was experienced in client care and spa treatments, she felt there was more she wanted to achieve. “I wanted a stronger foundation in skin health, deeper technical knowledge, and the confidence to deliver advanced and customized treatments. I knew that to grow professionally and provide the best results for my clients, I needed formal, internationally recognized training.”
What was your experience like during the course? What stood out the most to you?
“The instructors were not only highly experienced but also incredibly supportive. They took the time to explain every detail, answer all of our questions, and ensure we left the classroom confident and job-ready.”
She continues, “What really made the difference for me was how practical and hands-on the learning was. We were trained to work on real clients, which allowed us to apply techniques immediately and learn how to handle different skin types, conditions, and client needs. This kind of real-world practice built my confidence from day one.”
Can you tell us more about the hands-on training? How did it help you feel prepared for your career?
Teresa reflects on the importance of experiential learning. “Working directly with clients during the course helped me understand how to tailor treatments to individual needs. It wasn’t just about following a procedure; it was about thinking critically, adjusting techniques, and delivering visible, satisfying results. That kind of preparation is invaluable when you enter a professional environment.”
Training at Furless Beauty Institute includes international standards and accreditation. How did that impact your learning experience?
“The international standards really set the bar for professionalism,” Teresa says. “We were trained to meet CIBTAC expectations, including hygiene, client communication, and safety protocols. Knowing that I was learning at a level recognized globally gave me a sense of confidence and credibility that I carry into every treatment I perform.”
Since completing the course, how has your career progressed?
“Since completing my course, I’ve noticed a huge boost in my skills and the quality of service I provide to my clients. My confidence has grown, and I now feel fully equipped to offer customized facial treatments with real, visible results. I feel prepared to handle advanced treatments safely and professionally, which has made a noticeable difference in my practice.”
Looking back, what would you say has been the biggest benefit of studying at Furless Beauty Institute?
Her answer is thoughtful. “The biggest benefit is the combination of knowledge, practice, and support. Furless Beauty Institute creates an environment where you feel empowered to learn and grow. The instructors are approachable, experienced, and committed to student success. The practical approach ensures you are job-ready by the end of your program, which is a confidence booster you can’t get anywhere else.”
What advice would you give to someone considering a career in beauty and skincare?
“Start with the right education. If you choose a place that emphasizes real, hands-on training and international standards, you are setting yourself up for a successful and rewarding career. Invest in your skills, and it will pay off in confidence, competence, and career opportunities.”
