“The jawline course I took with George Baxter-Holder was excellent. Very scientific, and excellent focus on anatomy which is extremely important to me. He is an excellent teacher and I would love to see more classes with him. Easily one of the best virtual courses I have taken in 4 months, and I have done a lot.”
