Modern Aesthetics College

Welcome to Modern Aesthetic College Online—a place where passion meets possibility. I’m Raquel Da Silva, and my journey is living proof of what’s possible when you dream big, work hard, and never give up. I began my career humbly, working from a 10’ x 10’ room in my parents’ home, offering lash services with nothing more than my skills, a dream, and relentless determination. Those early days became the foundation of something extraordinary. Today, I stand as the proud co-founder of Modern Aesthetic College, the owner of two of Toronto’s largest and most prestigious salons, and the leader of a 50-person team that helps shape the future of beauty every single day. Over the last decade, I’ve devoted 18,000+ hours to lash extension services, mastered the art of hair extensions as a dual-certified technician, and built a thriving empire that includes robust e-commerce, in-person academies, and digital learning platforms serving students and clients from all over the world. But here’s what I want you to know: I started exactly where many of you are now—with a dream and the courage to take the first step. I invested in myself through education, and that decision changed my life forever. Today, I live my dream life. I get to wake up every day doing what I love, walking into my salons and campuses filled with the most talented educators, aestheticians, and students. I serve clients from across the globe and empower aspiring entrepreneurs to create the careers—and lives—they’ve always imagined. My greatest joy is helping others realize their potential. I bring high energy, unstoppable passion, and a deep commitment to every student I mentor. My mission is simple: to prove that with focus, dedication, and the right education, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. If you’re ready to take charge of your future, I’m here to show you the way. Together, we’ll turn your goals into reality and your passion into a thriving career.
