Our Story
The Academy of Advanced Cosmetics (AAC) was created to solve a problem in beauty education: too many “weekend certifications,” not enough real-world outcomes. We built a school that pairs elite technique with clinic-grade standards, business systems, and ongoing mentorship—so artists don’t just graduate, they go to work.
Meet the Founder — Feleshia Sams
Feleshia Sams is a master artist, educator, and industry leader with 20+ years of experience in cosmetic and paramedical tattooing.

What Makes AAC Different
-
Outcomes over paper: portfolio boards, model approvals, and launch plans—not check-the-box certificates.
-
Business built-in: pricing ladders, authority marketing, and a 90-day client acquisition roadmap.
-
Alumni for life: private community, office hours, feedback, and access to add-on clinics.
-
We teach what we do: our on-site clinic offers the same services we train.
