Nick Santos

“Since I was a kid, I’ve been into all the heavy metal and glam bands from the 80s. My favorite band as a kid was Twisted Sister so it’s always been there, but I never really pursued it. Back in October for Halloween, I went drag and did my makeup. Everybody said I looked really good, and then I ended up getting invited to other parties, and at one, the ladies started breaking it down for me. I was a landscaper and former Marine and wanted to do something sexier, so I decided to look up NYC makeup schools. I came for a campus visit and they were doing their photo shoot and there’s models, photographers, and makeup everywhere–just a mess like rock’n’roll. The one thing I would say to others is if I can do it so can you.” – Nick

We are proud to have been a part of Nick’s transformation and are excited to see where his career takes him next!

I wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude to each member of the phenomenal makeup and hair team who contributed their remarkable skills and creativity to the recent New York Swim Week (NYSW) event.
 
Your dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment truly shone through in every model’s stunning appearance. Your exquisite artistry not only enhanced their natural beauty but also brought our vision for the event to life. 
 
TMA collaborative spirit and ability to work seamlessly under pressure were truly commendable. Your innovative ideas and adaptability played a pivotal role in making the NYSW a resounding success. The positive feedback we received from designers, models, and attendees alike is a testament to your exceptional talent and dedication.
 
Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your tireless efforts and outstanding contributions. Your teamwork and creativity have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on this year’s NYSW, and we couldn’t have achieved this level of excellence without your team.

Sanitation Class and Certificate

EXCLUSIVE TO THE MAKEUP ACADEMY STUDENTS

Sanitation Standards online training teaches sanitation at a health-grade level. A health grade level means we mirror protocols that hospitals use to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and blood-borne pathogens. This training supersedes any state mandates or cosmetology licensing. Unlike most sanitation programs or protocols, the training was created in partnership with a microbiologist. Microbiologists study microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites. They try to understand how these organisms live, grow, and interact with their environments. The training was designed for all learning styles, with interactions and videos as content delivery compositions.

INCLUDES:

  • ONLINE TRAINING
  • BEAUTY, SPECIAL FX & THEATER MAKEUP PROTOCOLS
  • CERTIFICATION*
  • PRESTIGE PIN*
  • ADDED TO THE SANITATION SPECIALIST DATABASE
  • DIGITAL BADGE*

 

*Digital Certification Badge—After successfully completing the training and the course feedback, your customized digital badge will be available once you exit the training.

*Certificate of Completion and Prestige Pin – Upon successful completion of the training, you will receive a Certificate of Completion and Prestige Pin.
