Emma Wright
Owner of Vanilla Pod Beauty/Aesthetic PractitionerAesthetic Practitioner and founder of Vanilla Pod Beauty.
I started my career in the beauty industry at 16 years old completing my training as a level 3 Beauty Therapist at Chichester college. After working in the industry for 7 years I expanded my knowledge by qualifying in semi-permanent make up and medical micropigmentation. A few years on I qualified in PTLLS allowing me to teach within the industry and went onto study my Level 7 Aesthetic Practitioner course. I now teach VTCT Level 4 students in semi-permanent make up both privately 1:1 in my clinic and for a private academy in Portsmouth. Alongside this, i treat clients 3 days a week at Vanilla Pod Beauty for any semi-permanent make up or medical micropigmentation procedures as well as cosmetic injectable treatments such as lip filler. I actively continue to take on apprenticeships for Level 3 beauty therapists who will have the opportunity to work and study directly underneath me for 1 year to gain their qualification and potentially stay on as a full-time therapist in salon.
