Just finished a diploma in Electrical Facials in Manchester and really enjoyed it! Karen was so knowledgeable, a great teacher, she knew the answer to every question and made us feel so comfortable. I feel very confident in knowing I have the background knowledge and the skills to now do the treatment. Highly recommended.
