Five-star Google review for MSTA from Collette Smith
Collette Smith left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Milele Skin: “Had such an amazing week with MSTA. My trainers were Jemma and Hollie - they were so knowledgable and patient, always willing to help. At the start of the week I was a complete beginner with no confidence and by the end I felt comfortable/confident in what I had learnt. I can't wait to get my skin care business up and running and hopefully return back to MSTA for future education and training. Thank you girls xxx”

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Felicity Burgin
Felicity Burgin left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Penelope Skin Clinic: “I came to MSTA with no real experience in the skin care world but very keen to get started and having just completed my level 3 with them I've already booked level 4 because I was so happy with the training received. Not only are the lady's all extremely knowledgeable and professional but they're all so friendly, kind and helpful. They all genuinely want to see you do well and are there to support you every step of the way. I've trained in different areas of the beauty industry before and can honestly say the experience and level of dedication from MSTA is on another level. I'm very excited to go on to do level 4 and then hopefully all the levels available after that. Thank you to everyone on the team for making this journey so enjoyable and exciting. See you all again soon, felicity x”

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Kirby Timmins
Kirby Timmins left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I cannot give this course enough stars! The training, knowledge, confidence and new lease of life it has given me is honestly incredible. I first spoke to Kirsty in 2024, again in 2025 and finally took the plunge in 2026 and I only wish I had done it sooner. Keji is one of the most insightful, thorough trainers I have ever met. Her knowledge is second to none, and the support she has continued to give me even after completing the course is something I'll always be grateful for. The world truly needs more women like her. MSTA is so much more than just a training academy. It provides guidance, business advice, ongoing support, and a genuine community that wants to see you succeed. I honestly couldn't recommend it enough.”

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Hayley Collins
Hayley Collins left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I trained with MSTA just over a year ago, on their 5 day advanced skin specialist course. After having my little girl I really wanted to carve out a career for myself which offered work life balance, something I struggled to find being employed, this is honestly the best decision I could have made for myself and my family. I now have a flexible work life and I am fully present in my family life too. The course was thorougher and really enjoyable, the team at MSTA make you feel really comfortable and at ease and the support post course has been exceptional. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to train in skin and get into the beauty industry”

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Amy Fairclough
Amy Fairclough left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Studio Glow: “I trained with MSTA in March 2025 after deciding it was time for me to take the leap. The training was literally the best week ive ever had professionally and reinforced that I was at the right place at the right time for me. Hollie, Zo and Olivia were just the best. Nothing was a silly question, nothing was too mych trouble and they were our biggest cheerleaders the whole weel through. We even had a little pop in video from the gorgeous Kirsty to top the week off. From the day I started to now the support from the girls at MSTA and Estiworld has been unbelievable. They have pushed me to develop my business and pushed me to personally grow in confidence too (which is a task to take on). Kirsty and Jordan have continually worked relentlessly to provide easy to follow, clear processes designed to help you be the best that you can be and the fact that they are so approachable allows you to feel comfortable when you wobble, drop the ball or even in times of crisis with clients. I'm so pleased that I chose to invest in myself with the support of MSTA and I cant wait to grasp every learning opportunity they provide for me and my beautiful, developing business. Thank you all so much xx”

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Melissa Baiz
Melissa Baiz left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Suco Skin: “I still remember my very first phone call with Kirsty, and taking the step to join the course. At the time it felt like the beginning of something, but I could never have imagined how much it would shape my journey. Today I have my own little brand something that started as a dream and is now growing into a business I'm incredibly proud of. It continues to evolve, transform, and teach me every day. I'm so grateful for the guidance, the inspiration, and the confidence it gave me to believe that I could build something of my own. This is just the beginning, and I'm excited to watch my little business keep growing”
