Meet Paige Langley, Elleebana’s Newest Master Educator! We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Paige Langley to learn more about her incredible journey into the beauty industry and what has led her to this exciting new role with Elleebana. Here’s what she shared with us:
A Journey into the Beauty Industry
“Becoming a part of the beauty industry was never something I envisioned. Growing up, my dream was to become a police officer, driven by my passion for helping others. Working in my family’s petroleum business didn’t resonate with me, so I made a bold move to the Gold Coast, seeking a fresh start for myself and my eldest daughter.
One afternoon, while walking through Burleigh, I found myself reflecting on my future and wondering what career path might suit me. That’s when I came across the Gold Coast Training Academy. In that moment, everything clicked. I took the leap, and 27 years later, the Gold Coast still feels like home.
Looking back, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found this dynamic and ever-evolving industry. Beauty has opened so many doors for me, and I’ve come to realize that sometimes life leads you down paths you never expected, but they end up being exactly where you were meant to go. The beauty industry is full of endless possibilities, constant learning, and opportunities for reinvention. It’s a world where creativity never stops.
Starting at 21 as a graduate in a salon, I quickly discovered my passion, particularly in hands, feet, and brows. By 1999, I fulfilled my dream of becoming my own boss and opened my own salon, where Elleebana Lash Lift became an essential part of our offerings. Business was booming, but by 2008, I felt ready for a new challenge. I transitioned into the wholesale beauty industry, focusing on sales and training while still holding on to my loyal clients during my free time—I simply couldn’t let them go!
Education has always been at the heart of my career. As eyelash extensions gained popularity, I dove into training and partnered with a local brand to provide courses across Australia. During this time, I also earned my TAE qualification for the VET sector. I spent nearly nine years at a private beauty training facility, teaching a wide range of subjects—from Nail Technology and Lash Lifting to Brow Lamination. Working alongside talented beauty professionals was a fulfilling experience, deepening my expertise in both practical and theoretical aspects of the industry.
After over 15 years in sales and education, I knew it was time for another chapter. That’s when the opportunity with Elleebana came my way, and I jumped at the chance. My connection with the brand has always been strong, and it felt like a full-circle moment returning to my roots at the Gold Coast Training Academy, originally owned by Otto’s family, and now representing the Elleebana family.
To me, Elleebana represents excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to integrity and respect within the beauty industry. It’s a global powerhouse with an undeniable energy that fuels creativity and drives professionals forward. I’m thrilled to now be a part of that energy—a force that keeps the beauty world buzzing with anticipation for what’s to come. I truly believe this is where I am meant to be.”
