About the founder Nina Connor

Welcome to Skin Lab Academy. I truly appreciate your interest in these profound techniques, and will do my best to guide and enhance your skills and knowledge to allow you to reach your goals wherever they might be. 

The decision to specialise in these techniques was one of the best decisions I've made in my professional career. It has allowed me to relocate my solo skincare business to a new state in a time of the global pandemic, build a large steady, and loyal clientele in a short period of time, and expand my business in one year with employees and a waiting list of over 200 potential clients. 

The reason behind my success is my love, passion, and dedication to my art. Over the years I've had the privilege of having clients hugely successful and the best in their field. They are actors, producers, owners of companies, professional athletes, politicians…etc, and they all have one thing in common: passion and dedication to their craft. This is the driving force behind being successful in anything. 

“A great skill set is only the beginning. Clients choose you not only for your skills but also for the passion you display in applying them. This is the difference between a thriving successful practice and the common one.”

I hope that this training will drive, motivate, and inspire you to achieve your goals and lead you to the next step in your professional career.

Testimonials

  • Last summer, I had the privilege of taking Nina's Face Sculpting and Buccal Massage Training. At first, I was hesitant to invest in the class as I am a small business, but I am so glad I did! Throughout the entire training, Nina was incredibly hands-on, welcoming, and warm. It was honestly one of the most fun experiences I've had. Since completing the training, I have returned my investment multiple times over. The Face Sculpting and Buccal Massage has become one of my most popular services, and I have been able to sell packages that my clients absolutely love. In fact, some of my clients have even repurchased before they were done with their first package! Learning from Nina was the best business investment I have ever made. I highly recommend her training to anyone who wants to take their skills and business to the next level. Trust me, it's worth the investment!

  • I highly recommend Nina's training program! I completed all of her courses, including sculptural facelifting, buccal massage, manual lymphatic massage, and gua sha. Nina is an excellent mentor who is truly invested in helping you learn the right way. She will teach you all the muscles of the face so you understand the purpose of each move you use on your clients. After finishing the training, I felt fully prepared to start offering these services to my clients. Thanks to Nina, I have learned numerous techniques that have enabled me to elevate my services to the next level. Even after 2 years, she continues to mentor me and answer any questions I have. Trust me, her course is worth every penny!
