  • I just did my L2 training and loved every second!

    Really thorough training, lots of opportunities for practice, so much support and fab group of people. Couldn't recommend more highly, can't wait to learn more!

    I had the best experience studying the Level 2 skincare and facial massage course with Relax Skin School. There was a perfect balance of hands-on learning and independent study. All of the information and learning resources were readily available, and help and support were always on hand. Not only was the space fabulous, but the whole approach was friendly and relaxing - the most comfortable learning environment. By the third and final weekend, that consisted of practical and paper exams, I felt so confident and prepared to take on the exams thanks to the fabulous teaching and foundations that have been set in place. I highly recommend Relax Skin School to anyone looking to start out in the industry or looking to expand their knowledge and add to their qualifications. 10/10 experience!
