  • Sherri's teaching style is interactive and creative.

    She made a safe, comfortable learning environment. Her passion for teaching shines through, which made the classes something I always looked forward to!  She is very approachable, used humour effectively, and ensured everyone felt relaxed participating in discussions. I felt very supported throughout all of the programs that I have done through Beauty at its Best. She has a gift for explaining difficult topics very well, which made me feel confident in my ability to apply the skills I learned.

  • I had the pleasure of training in aesthetics under Sherri McCarthy, and it truly set the foundation for mycareer.

    From day one, she combined exceptional technical expertise with a genuine passion for teaching, making complex concepts clear, practical, and directly applicable to real-world client care. What set her instruction apart was the highly personalized, hands-on learning experience.

    The in-person format allowed for valuable real-time practice, and Sherri ensured the material felt achievable and tailored to my growth. Her memorable “Cover Your Ass” (CYA) lesson on insurance and liability was a pivotal, eye- opening moment that reinforced professional responsibility and client safety. We covered anatomy, skin physiology, safety protocols, and product science in a way that built a strong, lasting foundation.

    Beyond technical skills, Sherri helped me believe in my potential and gave me the confidence to grow a thriving practice. Even years later, she continues to offer guidance and connects me with opportunities—an ongoing commitment I truly value. Thanks to this training, I gained precision in technique, enhanced client safety and satisfaction, the confidence to expand my service menu, and a solid framework for continued professional growth.

    If you are weighing aesthetics programs, Beauty at its Best stands out for its comprehensive skill development, thoughtful instruction, and lasting support. You will graduate with not only technical ability, but also the confidence and professional network to succeed from the very beginning.

    - Sincerely, Genevieve McCansh
