Lucy Greer – Southern Apprentice of the Year 2024
Lucy has always had a passion for beauty therapy, so it was an easy decision when she finished school to do an apprenticeship. She’s thriving in her qualification journey and was named the 2024 Southern Apprentice of the Year.
The appeal of a beauty therapy apprenticeship and what it offers was undeniable for Lucy, she loves the fact that you get hands-on experience in a clinic with real clients, and that you are learning on the job, all whilst being trained by qualified therapists. “I love the way with an apprenticeship, you are work-ready when you are qualified, as you have two years’ experience working and learning in a clinic”.
Lucy has a passion for brows, from regular brow tint and shape, to learning hybrid brows, she says, “being able to transform someone’s eyebrows and having them put their trust into me feels very rewarding.” Recently, she has been perfecting the relaxing experience and enjoying learning all things skin.
She continues to be inspired by her boss at FACE Body + Beauty Balclutha Annalysse, “the dedication she puts into her work and business is inspiring and while doing all that, she has put her time and effort into training me and giving me amazing opportunities to thrive to be the best”.
Lucy’s passion and work ethic was recognised when she was awarded the Southern Apprentice of the Year 2024. Her advice to apprentices is “always remind yourself that you are learning, and some things take time. It can be stressful and nerve-wrecking doing an apprenticeship, but I’ve found having goals and a plan ahead has been so helpful to ease the stress of juggling everything that is new to you.”.
