Our Story
Born From a Love of Skin
Urban Skin Academy was founded by Sabrine Dannaoui — a formidable force in the Australian aesthetics industry with over 24 years of hands-on experience. Starting her career as a freelance makeup artist and beauty therapist, Sabrine transitioned into dermal therapy and advanced aesthetics, building Urban Skin Clinic into a trusted premier destination for state-of-the-art skin and laser treatments.
Believing that 'your sky is the limit' in the beauty industry, Sabrine recognised a gap in high-quality professional education and founded Urban Skin Academy. With 13+ years as a government-approved TAE trainer, she leads a dedicated team delivering nationally recognised qualifications and specialist courses designed to fast-track the careers of aspiring therapists and beauty entrepreneurs.
