Description
There ‘s much discussion about Skin Analysis performed on a client before treatment. I can’t stress enough that this is the first and foremost a key performance criteria in any facial treatment. I allow at least a half hour per new client and then around 15 minutes for subsequent facial treatments for the client at a salon. A thorough understanding of the client’s skin is a must before any Facial treatment.
After years of travelling and researching how Beauty Salons conduct facials in Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands and in Asia I decided to write this Scientific Skin Analysis and Skin Evaluation Manual to meet the demands of a thorough consultation that was needed in the area of Skin Analysis and Skin Evaluation in the beauty salons. This manual serves as the foundational, and you might call it the underpinning knowledge that should serve as your guide to Facial Treatments.
I have taught hundreds of students and post grad students in my technique of analysing the skin before performing a Facial . And indeed there are teachers in the Beauty industry here and also some Beauty Salon owners who have been taught by me to utilise this technique. This manual is also used as a reference guide in teaching students at some TAFE institutions in Australia.
If anyone is interested in learning this course then please contact me. This is a hands-on practical course and hence I do not teach it in any other mode of learning.
