Rare Academy was founded by Alyce Dosa and Jodie McKenzie, two award winning artists who firmly believe in creating a supportive environment for all artists.

Alyce Dosa, Beauty Therapist, Owner & Director of Freeze Beauty Co, operating from Bulimba, in QLD Australia. A proud wife and Mum, Alyce knows first hand the challenges of juggling family life and owning a successful business. Alyce comes from a background in health, teaching & training. Rare Academy has provided her with the platform to utilise both of her trades. Alyce has grown her business from a sole trader, to a multi-award winning, franchising company with a long array of specialised services and employees, all in under three years! Alyce has a world of knowledge in skin care, and is a master in all things brows.

Jodie McKenzie is the Owner and Director of Aurora Beauty Parlour and operates from her clinic in Tieri, where she resides with her husband and two young children. Jodie studied a Bachelor of Behavioural Science before deciding to leave her degree and enter the beauty industry in 2016, receiving a Diploma in Specialist Makeup Services. Jodie has been nominated for several Local, Global and National awards, has received multiple industry qualifications and runs her own successful clinic. She now specialises in Brows, Lash Extensions and Lash Lifting services.

Alyce and Jodie have both continued on their own education journeys, understanding the sheer importance of their own continued professional development. They have collectively undertaken over 20 additional training opportunities and masterclasses to learn from other industry professionals. You can never learn too much! They both strongly encourage artists to undertake a variety of courses from a multitude of educators  - continuous education and growth is the way that we, as a community of artists, are going to collectively level up the world of beauty.
