The single most important question to ask about any beauty academy is who will actually be standing beside you while you learn. At Artistry Academy — University of an Artist, the answer is a family-led team of working artists trained in China, at Goochie Permanent Make-up headquarters and under Korean lash trainers. Here are the master trainers at Artistry Academy, what they teach, and why their own journeys shape the way we train students in Kathmandu.
Supriya KC — Founder, Master Artist & PMU Expert
Supriya is the young entrepreneur behind Artistry Academy. She started from absolute Ground 0 and spent four years building her place in the industry before travelling to China, where she earned her Master Nail Artist certification in Guangzhou. She is also Master PMU certified at Goochie headquarters.
Her own trial-and-error years are the reason the academy teaches career skills — positioning, authority and professional operation — alongside technique. Read her story in From Ground 0 to Master in Nail Art.
Teaches: nail art, nail extensions and permanent makeup.
Sonika Lama KC — Lash Expert & PMU Specialist
With more than ten years of experience, Sonika is Master certified and trained in PMU at Goochie headquarters, and mastered advanced eyelash techniques under top Korean trainers. She brings a decade of client work to lash and brow training, from isolation to hand-made volume fans and nano brows.
Teaches: lash extensions, lash lift, microblading and nano brows. See the 2-day Lash Extension Course and Microblading & Microshading course.
Pramila — Nail Tech & Lash Expert
Pramila has six years of hands-on experience across nail artistry and eyelash extensions. She mentors students closely through our practical training modules and premium product lines, which is where most of the day-to-day correction of brush angle, product ratio and prep happens.
Teaches: manicure, pedicure, gel and acrylic extensions and lash application. Learn how this close mentoring works in 1-on-1 nail training vs group classes.

Rajaram leads Artistry Academy’s corporate vision and international partnerships, bridging the gap between local talent and global opportunities.
