Question 1

Who teaches the Pink Mantis Beauty courses?

Accepted Answer

Every course is taught personally by Stephanie Wilson — Nashville's Emmy Award-winning hair and makeup artist and founder of Pink Mantis Beauty. You are not learning from an assistant or a proxy instructor. You get Stephanie, her decade of real-world experience, her Emmy Award-winning technique, and her full professional attention for the entire session.

Question 2

What is the difference between the Beginner Course and the Advanced Artistry Course?

Accepted Answer

The 4-hour Beginner Beauty Course ($500) is designed for anyone starting from scratch — no experience required. It covers skincare prep, foundation, color theory, eyes, brows, lips, and setting techniques. The Advanced Artistry Course ($1,500) is 3 sessions totaling 12 hours and is designed for aspiring professionals — covering camera makeup, bridal artistry, editorial techniques, and the business of beauty. Both include a Certificate of Completion from Pink Mantis Beauty University.

Question 3

Is this the same as going to beauty school?

Accepted Answer

No — and that's the point. Beauty school puts you in a classroom with 20–30 students learning theory. Pink Mantis Beauty courses are one-on-one with a working Emmy Award-winning artist actively booking clients in Nashville right now. You learn real-world technique that's being used on actual wedding mornings, TV sets, and editorial shoots — not outdated curriculum from a textbook.

Question 4

Do I need to bring my own makeup kit?

Accepted Answer

No. You can bring your own products if you have them and want personalized feedback on your kit — but it's not required. Stephanie works with whatever you have or provides guidance on exactly what to buy for your skin type, budget, and goals. After the course you'll receive a personalized product recommendation list with links to purchase.

Question 5

What is Pink Mantis Beauty University?

Accepted Answer

Pink Mantis Beauty University is the education brand founded by Stephanie Wilson offering beginner and advanced artistry courses, a mentorship program, and a Nashville apprenticeship pipeline for aspiring professional artists. Advanced Course graduates who complete the apprenticeship program become certified Pink Mantis Beauty team artists eligible for real client bookings.

Question 6

Is the Beginner Course right for me if I already know basic makeup?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Beginner Course is customized to your starting point. If you already know the basics Stephanie adjusts the curriculum to fill your specific gaps, improve your technique, and level up the skills you already have. No two sessions are identical because no two students are identical.
