Where passion becomes profession.
This Is For You If…
You don’t have matric. You’re tired of job rejections. You’re working full-time but dreaming of something more. You learn better with your hands than your head.
You’re not broken. You just need the right door.
Emerald is that door.
Meet Patricia
In 1997, Patricia B. Wassermann opened her first salon with nothing but skill and stubborn hope.
25+ years later, she’s still behind the chair—but now she’s also behind the classroom.
Why? Because she watched too many talented Namibians get overlooked. No matric. No connections. No chance.
She built Emerald to fix that.
“I don’t train students. I train breadwinners.”
— Patricia B. Wassermann, Founder

David S.
“I was skeptical. Two months after finishing, I got hired at a top salon. The NTA certificate actually means something.”
Leah M.
“No matric, no experience. Did the 3-day makeup course. That same month, I did my first paid wedding. I cried.”
Rina K.
“Patricia taught me things YouTube never could. And I didn’t spend a cent on equipment while learning.”
Stefan J.
“Aandklasse ná werk? Ja, dis moontlik. Nou het ek ‘n nuwe loopbaan sonder om my salaris te verloor.”

You’ve read this far. That means something.
