Victoria Kelson has trained alongside some of the world’s most sought-after facialists and aesthetic pioneers, including Linda Meredith ("Queen of Facials" in Knightsbridge), Deborah Mitchell (creator of the royal-favourite Heaven Bee Venom), and Arezoo Kaviani.
Victoria also trained as an Advanced Therapist in the internationally acclaimed CACI Synergy, Ultra, and Ultimate non-surgical facial toning systems. In her quest to provide the highest standard of skincare, she continually refreshes and advances her training to remain at the leading edge of non-invasive aesthetic breakthroughs.
Her education began at the prestigious Yorkshire College of Beauty Therapy, where her progress was filmed by Sky One for its television documentary series ‘BEAUTY SCHOOL’. Victoria later graduated as a professional Makeup Artist from the renowned Jemma Kidd Make-up School London.
The fundamental philosophy at The Foundation Beauty Studio is simple: every individual client receives a comprehensive consultation to identify their personal skincare goals, formulating a tailor-made programme of therapies designed to achieve lasting, visible radiance.
