-I highly recommend Fakealicious as a training academy and Jodie as a trainer. During Covid lockdown I did the online ABT Facial course and it was extremely thorough and well delivered. Great video, manual and excellent communication. Thank you Jodie!

-I have done quite a few training courses with Jodie now and I cannot recommend her enough. Her knowledge, skills, support and training are just incredible. Even years down the line I know I can message her with any questions and she is always so happy to help and supportive. Makes sure you fully understand the treatments, aftercare, contraindications and so on. Highly recommend!

Jodie’s teaching techniques, amazing knowledge and patience sets her aside from other training academy’s , and she was always on hand to assist with assignments when needed. The professionalism from Jodie, made her course stand out from the previous training colleges I have used and I have qualified feeling confident in all we were taught, and able to provide all the treatments to my clients in salon. I can’t wait to start my Level 5 with Jodie and Fakealicious xx
