About Aesthetician and Skincare Therapist Dana

Combination of Medicine and Beauty Therapy.

2007 - 2009.

While working as a dental nurse I decided to combine medicine with aesthetics. I have studied at City & Guilds for Beauty Therapy diploma, and graduated with National Qualification NVQ2 and NVQ3in 2009.

During those years I have been working in parallel as a Trainee Beautician in a local Beauty Salon in London.

Once I gained my diploma and qualifications, in 2009, I have moved to work as a Beauty Therapist in a busy, stylish and modern hair and beauty salon near Liverpool Street, London. I had a fantastic 3 year experience in that vibrant and busy place, sharpening my professional skills. I have learnt a lot from my colleagues, who were coming from all over the world, hence I had a chance to learn traditional Thai massage, Japanese head massage, polish manicure technique, etc.
