From Passion to Purpose
Special Guest: Lilia Grace Jones
In this episode of Learner’s Voice in collaboration with Concept Hair, I sit down with Lilia Grace Jones from Coleg Cambria, who is currently completing her Level 3 Beauty Therapy. Lilia’s passion for beauty started at a young age, and she has been inspired by professionals, clients, and her work environment.
Lilia shares her incredible experience participating in World Skills Beauty Therapy, a competition that tested her technical skills and resilience. She opens up about the intense training process, the support she received from mentors and peers, and how the competition pushed her beyond self-doubt, ultimately strengthening her confidence and abilities. Her advice? Take the leap—competitions are a great way to grow personally and professionally.
We also explore the challenges of working in the beauty industry, particularly overcoming confidence issues and seeking mentorship. Lilia’s mantra, “Don’t let the fear of standing out keep you from playing the game,” is a powerful reminder to push past self-doubt, embrace learning opportunities, and stay focused on personal goals.
Despite not being in a managerial role, Lilia has built a strong client base while working in a salon, reinforcing the importance of gaining hands-on experience and building relationships. She also highlights the supportive learning environment at Glow, where collaboration and continuous improvement are encouraged.
Mindset training was another key topic—we discussed how initial skepticism turned into appreciation for its impact on personal and professional growth. From Welsh language flashcards to competition preparation, Lilia reflects on how these tools enhanced her learning experience.
One of the standout moments of our conversation was Lilia’s recognition as Dermalogica Student of the Year 2024. She shares her love for skincare, the brand’s excellent training, and the importance of product knowledge in delivering high-quality beauty treatments.
Key Takeaways:
✨ Push past self-doubt—competitions can boost confidence and skill development.
✨ Seek mentorship and build a supportive learning environment.
✨ Hands-on experience and client relationships are key to success.
