Meet the Core Courses

The FIVESTAR™ Method courses are organized into 5 key steps that Nerida has created to show you how to customize your treatment facials with the understanding that each client and their lifestyle is unique.

Step 1 Skin Analysis

Learn how Nerida performs an inch-by-inch skin analysis, examining the skin to determine each client’s individual treatment plan. She'll explain the principles of face-mapping and demonstrate how to read a range of skin types and sub-conditions.

Step 2 Prep

See how Nerida prepares the skin for treatment. You’ll learn why 50% of your success depends on setting up a clean slate that is soft and supple and ready to absorb the rest of your treatment products. Let Nerida show you how to get there by gently yet effectively cleansing and exfoliating.
