TESTIMONIALS

The DermaplanePro training given by Rosetta and Susan was an amazing experience. They are wonderful teachers and extremely professional. I was really happy with all the tips and information they provided.

Suzanne S.

Reporter

My DermaplanePro training was excellent-from start to ﬁnish! From the information/sign-up process at the skin show to ﬁnalizing my training date, to the actual training itself, everyone was professional, knowledgable, and eager to help. I especially appreciated the fact that it was a small class – it allowed us to have all of our questions answered and get plenty of hands-on instruction and coaching. Liz was a wonderful instructor! She is very skilled in dermaplaning and is a thorough, patient, and a conﬁdence-building instructor. I did receive all my training materials in advance and I found the training DVD very helpful and informative.

Kellie B.

My entire experience with DermaplanePro has been very positive! The training was easy to set up, everyone I spoke to has been more than pleasant, and my trainer was great! The class set up was wonderful and I loved the small class size. I felt like I got better training than I would have received in a larger class. The one-on-one training was very beneﬁcial, having the instructor be able to watch each and every one of us individually perform a dermaplane.

Laura G.

I sat and watched Rikki's technique and learned so much at IECSE. Everyone at Dermaplanepro is absolutely lovely. I received a treatment after watching Rikki perform and it was WONDERFUL! I'm very proud that I use your products even more so now than before!

Kristen L.

I just want to give some recognition to Angela Burch O'Neal hands downs the best esthetician in Arkansas! She has my skin looking perfect while teaching me everything she knows. Plus 27 years of experience how could I have been blessed with better than that? She certified me in DermaplanePro and I have no idea what I would have been doing with my clients if I would have never taken that class. I'm thankful for the guidance and knowledge.

Angie Karagozian

Lisa was very prompt and timely with returning my calls and emails and answered all of my questions for the upcoming class! I LOVED part one of training and feel like I learned so much from it. I wish more classes would provide this much education and loved to taking it! She was AMAZING!! I'm going to refer this class to everyone I know. She was very patient and friendly and took the time to answer all of your questions in great detail. I wish she taught more classes. She ensured we were all on the same page at all times and took the time to explain everything in great detail. It was great and I learned so much! Thank you DermaplanPro!
