AXEL MAKEUP ACADEMY — Attraction in Tysons

I had an exceptional experience with Axel Makeup Academy. From the very first phone call, Alessandra was incredibly helpful, patient, and friendly, answering all my questions with such care. Her professionalism immediately stood out.

The next day, I attended the open house, where I had the privilege of meeting Axel, the owner of the academy. Axel is truly an inspiring individual with a magnetic personality. He took the time to explain every detail about the course, and at that moment, I knew I wanted to be part of this incredible journey.

The instructors at the academy are not only highly skilled but are also accomplished, real-world artists. The facility itself is immaculate, emphasizing cleanliness and professionalism. Axel Makeup Academy is the only place I’ve encountered that provides a sanitation certificate and goes above and beyond to implement rigorous sanitation practices in every aspect of their work.

Felicia, another amazing team member, made my experience even more enjoyable. She was warm, welcoming, and answered all my questions with patience and professionalism.

I highly recommend Axel Makeup Academy!! I was so lost before I came to the school and now i really want to thank Axel, Richard, Maria, & Claribel the most amazing instructors, for helping find so many opportunities as a professional makeup artist!

I love the academy, we are a family here & you won’t regret going here to learn makeup! There is so many benefits! Makeup job opportunities, discounts on makeup, and overall the amazing experience!

I’m so excited for what the future holds and I can’t wait for you to start your journey as a makeup artist too! You...

Whether it was understanding the pace needed for client work or learning how to deliver with confidence under pressure, they prepared us for the real demands of the beauty industry.

Every class felt like a fresh, exciting escape six hours of hands-on learning, creative growth, and pure passion for the craft. I looked forward to each day, and always left feeling more inspired, more skilled, and more confident.
