From a home-based setup to a thriving full-service salon, Cindy-Lee De Beer’s journey is exactly what success after NIC can look like.

A graduate of New Image College’s Esthetics, Nail, and Makeup programs, Cindy-Lee launched her career in 2015 by running her business out of her parents’ basement. With determination, she steadily grew her clientele and her confidence, eventually taking the leap into a commercial space of her own.

Today, Cindy-Lee is the proud owner of Diamond Beauty, a female-founded, family-run, full-service salon located in the heart of Cloverdale, Surrey. Now four years strong in its commercial location, Diamond Beauty is home to a team of 10 professionals, offering a wide range of services including nails, hair, lashes, brows, waxing, threading, IPL, massage, and facials. The salon also features a retail shop showcasing carefully selected vegan and handmade local brands.

Designed as a space for relaxation, creativity, and high-quality service, Diamond Beauty reflects Cindy-Lee’s passion for both the beauty industry and community. It’s a place where clients feel cared for and professionalism meets a welcoming, personalized experience🧘🏼‍♀️

Cindy-Lee’s story is a powerful example of how NIC graduates can turn their training into real-world success: building sustainable careers, growing businesses, and creating opportunities for others along the way.

Congratulations, Cindy-Lee, on everything you’ve built so far. We are extremely proud of your success!! 👏👏👏
