The Session School is located in the heart of Central London and offers a range of make up and hair courses for the freelance industry.

This new and exciting school was founded by distinguished Make-Up Artist Dani Guinsberg (also a Fashion Week regular) to teach future Make-Up professionals the art of make-up within the fashion, beauty and advertising industry.
