Alchemy Beauty Academy

3/1/2022

If you didn't know, I spent the majority of the pandemic building a business and creating what is now Alchemy Beauty Academy!

I have been working like a mad woman with every spare moment I have since the beginning of 2020 on an absolute passion project of mine. At this point I am practically bursting at the seams wanting to shout it from the rooftops because I am so beyond proud of what myself and my business partner have accomplished (surprise! I've teamed up with another amazing and talented artist to make this happen).  Now that we are officially into our 2nd year in business I would love to share a little bit about what we have been able to accomplish!

Who we are...

In an ever-changing industry, finding a training program that fits your needs might seem like an impossible task. That's where we come in! Enter Alchemy Beauty Academy, which was founded by some of the industry’s finest working professionals.
We aren’t instagram famous. We are working artists who understand what it takes to make it in this industry and who care about making sure the next generation of artists get the support they need to thrive. With our combined experience of over 25 years, we are thrilled to get to share our expertise and knowledge with you.
Instructors & Co-Founders: Myself (Kimm DiCato) & My business partner Hollie Berry  are a 2 woman show making this all happen.

It is our vision to empower aspiring artists to pursue their dreams by providing makeup and hairstyling education that encompasses not only technique, but also theory and business training, giving graduates the well rounded skills necessary to thrive in the industry. Alchemy Beauty Academy will focus on Quality over Quantity in all aspects of our business.

    Who am I

    The real me… 

    `1Nothing frustrates me more than not being good at something.

    What I do

    I am a makeup artist by trade. Doing mostly makeup for branding and print shoots. It is not lost on me that I am very fortunate that I get to do something I love for a living. I also teach makeup to aspiring makeup artists and found a deep passion for teaching and sharing about this industry. Another aspect of the makeup world that I truly enjoy is testing out and learning about products and tools.
