Customer Reviews

Ideal for any Beauty Therapist who wishes to specialise in facial techniques
A beautifully written book; fully up to date with all the latest beauty therapy facial specialist techniques. This is a book that is perfect for any Beauty Therapist who wishes to specialise in facial techniques. As a lecturer and former salon owner I can testify that facials are one of the most popular treatments a salon can offer. I recommend this book for its practical application of this subject; along with the `case studies' and `question and answers' that are so popular with students.
