Academy of Men's Grooming
Training the next generation of professional groomers — a specialised educational experience built on more than two decades of hands-on industry practice.
Created from more than two decades of hands-on industry experience, AMG bridges the gap between traditional beauty and barbering education and the specific knowledge required to confidently deliver treatments for men — from male waxing and facials to massage, spa body treatments and salon business.

How we train.
You're not in a classroom — you're learning in a real working environment, with real clients, real needs, in real time.
Courses are developed around the services clients are currently requesting and the skills employers actually need.
Underpinning knowledge, demonstration, guided practice, consultation and professional communication — not just procedure.
Entry-level students, qualified therapists, barbers and salon owners — and anyone considering a career change.
What every graduate carries with them.
Professionalism
High standards of conduct, presentation, communication and service delivery.
Respect
Every student and client deserves to feel safe, included, heard and respected.
Practical Excellence
Training based on techniques that apply directly within real professional environments.
Integrity
Honest advice, ethical treatment recommendations and responsible practice.
Confidence Through Education
Knowledge creates confidence — understanding the reasoning behind every treatment.
Industry Progress
Supporting the growth and recognition of men's grooming as a skilled profession.
Angie Macolino
Angie founded AMG following more than two decades of founding Mens Body Works, the men’s grooming and day spa she established in Melbourne in 2002. At a time when services designed specifically for men were limited, she created a destination dedicated to their grooming, skin and spa needs.
Through years of working directly with male clients and training therapists, Angie recognised a gap between general industry training and the practical knowledge needed to confidently deliver services for men.
AMG was created to address that gap, with education that considers male anatomy, skin, hair growth, consultation and individual client needs.
Angie holds several industry qualifications, as well as a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. She brings together formal training, practical expertise and the experience of running an established business to help students develop their skills, confidence and professional judgement.
Students who successfully complete their course receive an AMG professional certificate.
“I have trained and continue to be mentored by Angie — I can't express enough how invaluable her knowledge is. I've gone from being a therapist to a professional practitioner of waxing and beauty services.”Morgan — AMG Graduate
