Once upon a time, not so very long ago, in a quiet corner of London, there stood a studio unlike any other. This was the creation of Sylvester, a visionary in male grooming, aesthetics, and skincare. At Tranquilstate, a haven crafted with the modern man in mind, Sylvester offers a sanctuary for bespoke skincare treatments that cater specifically to men.

Armed with an impressive array of qualifications, including Diplomas in Advanced Aromatherapy and Reflexology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Skin & Body Therapy from the International Dermal Institute, Sylvester has the expertise to administer over 20 distinct treatments. His educational journey equipped him with the skills needed to elevate his clients’ experience, ensuring each treatment is as effective as it is soothing.

In the early days, Sylvester noticed a significant gap in the skincare industry, which was predominantly tailored to women and offered limited options for men. Undeterred, he blazed his own trail, designing custom grooming packages that addressed the specific needs of male skin. His efforts redefined what it meant to be a male therapist in a female-dominated field, making high-quality skincare accessible to everyone.

Before his foray into skincare, Sylvester’s career spanned across the Caribbean as a fitness practitioner at several of the world’s leading luxury hotels and resorts. It was during this glamorous chapter that he realised his true calling lay in the nurturing realms of skincare and therapy. This epiphany led him back to the UK in 2000 to further his education and follow his newfound passion.

Central to Sylvester’s ethos is a deep-seated devotion to his clients, many of whom have journeyed with him for over a decade. They travel from far and wide, often aligning their business trips with a visit to his studio, seeking the personalised care that Sylvester is renowned for. His commitment to excellence is evidenced by the accolades he has received, including a High Commendation from the Federation of Holistic Therapists for exceptional client service.

Prior to the pandemic, Sylvester generously gave his time to Whipps Cross Hospital, where he offered palliative care and chemotherapy support to those in hospice and on the wards, showcasing his altruism and dedication to the well-being of others.

At the heart of Sylvester’s practice is his unwavering dedication to achieving the best outcomes for his clients, who leave his studio not just with enhanced skin but with a renewed sense of confidence. Sylvester’s Tranquilstate is more than just a skincare studio; it’s a place where every treatment is a step towards personal rejuvenation and well-being.
