Our Experts
Directors
LEA CASTRO (CEO)
In 1994 Lea started her career as a part time Nail Technician while still working full time. In 1996, Lea went into the Beauty Industry full time, opening a home based salon offering beauty services with her main focus being nails. In 1999 she did Conversion nail training with LCN and needless to say fell in love with not only the brand but the concept of finally finding a product that could give her clients beautiful nail enhancements while preserving the natural nail.
ISABEL FENNER (TRAINING DIRECTOR)
Isabel Fenner started Looking Good Beauty Centre in 1989. In 2000 Lea Castro and Isabel joined forces linking their two salons into one. Together the two sisters were a strong team complementing each other. Isabel is now based in the Western Cape and she travels to all areas teaching her expertise while staying in close contact with Head Office and their strong team of trainers.
LCN History
A PROUD HISTORY OF WILDE-COSMETICS
Wilde Dental was founded in 1914, few knew that these pioneering German researchers in dental resin would make such a lasting impact in the beauty industry. In 1985, Wilde Cosmetics GmbH was established to bring the same quality, durability and beauty of composite resin systems to fingernail cosmetics. The result? LCN, a revolutionary line of light-cured products designed to seal, correct, lengthen and beautify fingernails. The first of its kind in Europe, this system provided a non-acrylic alternative to conventional nail cosmetics, providing longer lasting beautiful results. LCN resins are still formulated in a medical lab today incorporating cutting edge technology to improve and strengthen our current spectacular products.
THE PROUD HISTORY OF LOOKING GOOD LCN
Looking Good LCN was founded in 2002 by CEO Lea Castro, after starting small it was clear that success was inevitable. Today we operate from our premises in Pretoria East with office facilities, a state of the art training centre for our Beauty School, a warehouse and the luxurious LCN Aesthetic Beauty Spa for training purposes. Our main focus is service excellence in the Beauty Industry and empowering women to become the best they can be! Having overcome many obstacles – the company continues to grow from strength to strength.
