Early life and background

Bemmann, (formally Howard) was born and raised in the small town of Collingwood, Ontario on March, 18th, 1987. Bemmann has described her upbringing in interviews as being difficult, coming from a family who underwent great financial struggles and hardship including abuse. She describes overcoming financial and personal difficulties prior to founding her business, and says her early struggles shaped her mission, and credits early entrepreneurship in the beauty sector with her later success.

Bemmann attended Sylvie Hennessy Academy of Esthetics & Spa Therapies, and began working in spas at the young age of 17 after leaving home to live on her own.

Bemmann married in her early 20s and soon gave birth to her first daughter. At this time, she had since left the beauty industry and was working as an executive assistant in the automotive industry. Bemmann claims that during this period of her life, going through a divorce, and working a demanding job with long hours made her fall into a depression, which persuaded her to enter back into the beauty industry. She quit her job and began offering eyelash extension services.

The academy offers both online theory modules and in-class practical training; its programs include eyebrow microblading/microshading, combo brows, lip blushing, paramedical scar camouflage, lash lift and brow lamination certificates, and business mentorship options.

The Diamond Society
