Academy of Men's Grooming

Introducing the Academy of Men’s Grooming

Built from experience. Created for the future.

Since 2002, Mens Body Works has helped redefine professional grooming, skin, spa and wellness services for men. After more than two decades of working directly with clients, developing treatments and training practitioners, we are proud to introduce the next chapter in our journey—the Academy of Men’s Grooming.

Founded by Angie Macolino, the Academy brings more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience into a practical and supportive learning environment. It has been created to educate the next generation of grooming professionals while helping experienced practitioners expand their skills and confidently meet the changing needs of today’s male client.

Specialised Professional Education

The Academy will offer practical training across a growing range of specialist areas, including:

Waxing • Barbering • Mangement • Skin & Beauty Services • Massage • Wellness • Day Spa Treatments and so much more.

Our courses extend beyond simply learning how to perform a service. Students develop an understanding of professional consultation, client comfort, hygiene and safety, contraindications, treatment planning, aftercare, communication and the standards required to deliver an exceptional client experience.

Learn From Real Industry Experience

Our training is informed by the day-to-day experience of operating Mens Body Works—Melbourne’s pioneering grooming and day spa destination for men.

Students benefit from realistic treatment protocols, practical demonstrations and knowledge gained from working with thousands of clients across an extensive range of grooming, skin, hair, body and wellness services.

We teach the skills that matter in the treatment room: how to observe, communicate, adapt, work professionally and provide every client with care, confidence and respect.

Who Are Our Courses For?

Academy courses are designed for:

  • People preparing to enter the grooming, beauty or wellness industry

  • Qualified practitioners wanting to expand their service menu

  • Beauty and massage therapists wishing to work more confidently with male clients

  • Barbers seeking to introduce additional grooming services

  • Salon and spa owners wanting to develop their team’s practical skills

  • Industry professionals seeking specialised, hands-on education

Whether you are beginning a new career or building upon your existing experience, our aim is to help you become a more knowledgeable, capable and confident practitioner.

Courses Launching Soon

Our inaugural professional waxing training will be followed by courses in men’s skin treatments, massage, barbering, manicures and pedicures, Japanese Head Spa, day spa therapies, spa management and advanced grooming services.

Every program will reflect the Academy’s commitment to practical education, professional standards and learning that can be confidently applied within a real working environment.

The Future of Men’s Grooming Starts Here

At the Academy of Men’s Grooming, we believe education should be practical, inspiring and grounded in genuine industry experience.
