10 Best Facial Massage Courses in Moscow

A good option for those who want to learn a new specialty or upgrade existing skills.The "Institute of Massage and Cosmetology" conducts training according to state and author's programs, offering really high-quality and well-structured courses. Training is conducted in small groups of 6-8 people, which is very convenient. The teachers are specialists with medical education and practical experience, so there will definitely be something to learn. The theoretical part of facial massage courses includes the study of anatomy, skin structure, etc. Skills are practiced on real models.

In the reviews, students note that the teachers are strong, they give a large amount of really necessary information. They explain everything simply and clearly, so that even a person without a medical education will understand anatomy and pathologies. Also, many were pleased that the rooms are well equipped, and high-quality cosmetics are used for work. Everything is organized “in an adult way” - there are tests and exams. However, not everyone manages to pass them and you will have to prepare seriously. If we talk about the shortcomings, then the level of service leaves much to be desired, in addition, there are problems with the return of funds.

The Capital Institute of Image and Beauty has been actively providing educational services in the beauty field for more than 10 years and offers more than 50 courses and master classes. It has 10 branches in Moscow and is deservedly popular. Here you can get training in classical and sculptural massage, as well as chiromassage. 98% of the time is devoted to practice, so you will have the opportunity to practice all the skills. The staff of teachers includes specialists with medical education and more than 10 years of experience. For training, small groups of 6-8 people are formed, so that the teacher can pay attention to everyone, explain everything on the fingers, put his hand, etc.

Judging by the reviews, the students are very satisfied with the mentors and note the friendly approach. Prices are quite affordable, plus regularly there are discounts and profitable promotions. Also, if you missed a class for a good reason, you can re-take it with another group. Cons relate to the work of the institute as a whole, and not specifically to facial massage courses - they are unambiguously praised. Let us down the level of service: if something went wrong, no one will promptly deal with the problems. There are also complaints about individual programs and teachers.

The Moscow Institute of Restorative Medicine can also be called one of the oldest educational institutions in the ranking. Over 25 years of operation, the center has managed to establish itself as one of the best in the beauty industry, has received 19 Russian and international awards and consistently ranks among the top leaders not only in Moscow or Russia, but even in the CIS countries. The school offers more than 210 courses in various areas, including sculptural, plastic and author's facial massage. At the same time, the prices are among the lowest, plus discounts and promotions are regularly held, thanks to which you can go through some programs for free.

Classes are taught by specialists with medical education and experience of more than 12-20 years. They help to put a hand and work out skills on the model. Judging by the reviews, they explain everything on their fingers, so even if you are a complete beginner, you will understand. Upon completion, an international certificate is issued, which will be useful in further employment. Unfortunately, the level of service leaves much to be desired and some clients complain about the rescheduling of classes and difficulties with refunds when terminating the contract.

The Academy of Education "Planet of Beauty" also conducts facial massage courses and invites beginners and experienced professionals. 100% of the lesson is practice, and the theory is issued ready-made so that you do not waste time writing, but pay more attention to practicing skills. The cost of training for any program includes all the necessary materials, cosmetics, uniforms, tools, models + issuance of a document upon completion. However, judging by the reviews, this does not always work as it should, and gloves are issued every other time, and consumables are often not enough. To evaluate the quality of training, you can attend a trial lesson for any course. This is a significant advantage and few schools in Moscow can boast of such.

Another plus in favor of this center is guaranteed employment. Here, graduates are really helped to find a job, and this item is even spelled out in the contract. Classes are held both in person and remotely, which is very convenient. Prices are average, besides, if you missed a lesson, you can restore it with another group. In general, students praise the quality of education - teachers clearly explain everything, help to avoid mistakes. Although there are complaints about individual programs and some teachers.The service is also lame and you may simply not be warned about what you need to take with you, or that the lesson is being postponed.

At the same time, the students are more than satisfied and praise the informativeness and practical saturation of the classes, as well as the approach of the teachers. However, there are also disadvantages - often clients complain about problems with organization and models, which are not always enough. They also periodically postpone the dates and times of classes, delay the return of funds upon termination of the contract.

After completing the course, you will receive a beautician's and massage therapist's allowance, as well as a personalized certificate. However, it was not without drawbacks and there are complaints about some teachers. The level of service also let us down - customers claim that the administrators are not very friendly, they are in no hurry to deal with problems, and it can be problematic to get through to the center.

The Educational Center for the 21st Century has been training cosmetologists, massage therapists, stylists, hairdressers and other beauty professionals for over 20 years.

Training is designed for 2-3 days and will cost relatively inexpensively - 6500-7000 rubles.In this case, all consumables are already included in the price and no additional payments will be required.

After completing the main course, you can improve your skills and master hemolymphatic drainage or face lifting massage. These are more concise options for 8 hours, where you will master some of the most popular techniques. I am pleased with the approach to work - the students are treated carefully, controlled at every stage, they help to put a hand. It is worth considering only that the development of skills takes place on each other, and not on models. Upon completion, certificates confirming qualifications are issued. However, judging by the reviews, the teachers are very different and you need to find your own so that the classes are as comfortable and productive as possible. At the same time, keep in mind that training is conducted in fairly large groups of up to 20 people, which is not always convenient.
