Sylvester is a leading expert in male grooming, aesthetics, and skincare. He runs Tranquilstate Skincare, a purpose-built studio nestled within his landscaped garden, offering a curated selection of treatments tailored specifically for men.
With Diplomas in Advanced Aromatherapy & Reflexology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Skin & Body Therapy from the International Dermal Institute, Sylvester is qualified to deliver over 20 specialized treatments. Though the industry was once unwelcoming to male therapists and lacked comprehensive treatments for men, he has carved out his own niche creating innovative male grooming treatments and bespoke packages in a safe, relaxing space.
Before founding Tranquilstate, Sylvester worked as a fitness practitioner across the Caribbean, where his passion for skincare and wellness was sparked. While employed at luxury hotels such as The Ritz Carlton and Half Moon Hotel in Jamaica, he often volunteered as a model for spa treatments, an experience that inspired him to transition into holistic and beauty therapy. In 1999, he returned to the UK to formally train in this field, combining his expertise in wellness with his growing dedication to skincare.
Sylvester’s commitment to delivering exceptional care is evident in his highly loyal international clientele some of whom make it a priority to visit Tranquilstate Skincare while on business trips to London. His dedication has also earned him industry recognition, including being Highly Commended by the Federation of Holistic Therapists Excellence Award for Client Service, an honor based on independent client reviews. Beyond his studio, Sylvester has given back to the community, volunteering at Whipps Cross Hospital, where he provided palliative and end-of-life care to patients before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sylvester is driven by results and the satisfaction of his clients. Whatever you’re looking for advanced skincare, grooming treatments, or holistic therapies, he is dedicated to helping you look and feel your best.
