Customer Reviews:

“I liked that the massage portion was detailed … the information was good and she spoke clearly. Thank you.” Annette N.

“It explained very well all the machines with a lot of details and tips. I loved the fact that every time when she was showing her personal way of using something, she was explaining why, mentioning that if some people prefers otherwise is perfectly ok. I totally adopted her way of replacing the hair using the wood stick, I wish I would have known it years ago...” Gabriela N.

“Rita is very thorough in her explanations which is a plus since it is video training versus hands on training. I was very impressed with this segment and am looking forward to the next 2 segments of this course.” Renee K.

“I really like the way this course is laid out.  As an educator I find the curriculum very easy to navigate through, even a first time user wouldn’t have a problem.  I didn’t see anything with the course that I would recommend changing.  The instructor is very thorough and that is one of the things I enjoy most about these videos.  It is a great refresher video and a great video for stylists who are wanting to break into the skin care industry.” Rhea K.
