About: The Face2Face Story

Face2Face Founders

Award-winning Face2Face Beauty Academy

Aspiration – Confidence – Achievement

Face2Face Beauty Academy was founded in 2014 to serve the needs of students all over the UK, providing Accredited Beauty Courses in our luxury salon in Chesterfield. Since we opened our doors, our Beauty Academy has continued to empower our students to change their lives, giving them the skills and confidence to follow their dreams. Our innovative teaching methods help students really absorb the material, developing their abilities under the watchful eyes of our qualified, accredited tutors and allowing them to take control of their own learning. All of our courses are available on a one-to-one basis to ensure that you gain maximum benefit from your training. We also prefer that you provide your own model (who must be over 18) for your course as this allows you to be more relaxed in your learning.

All of our courses are accredited by Associated Beauty Therapists or the CPD Accreditation Group and are Industry Recognised, allowing you to gain Public Liability Insurance to provide these services to your clients.
