I found Facelift Interior’s videos on YouTube just as I was starting my own upholstery business. The videos have been invaluable to me because even though I’m already doing upholstery, every job is different and there are always new things to learn. It’s so helpful to see how other upholsterers do things and Neil’s videos are easy to understand and enjoyable to watch. They’re filmed well and he is very good at teaching, he gives you all the information you need to understand how and why he’s doing the things, without overloading you with too much information. He’s funny too, that always helps! I’m excited for the Facelift Academy, upholstery is a very under appreciated trade, but great teachers like Neil making their knowledge and skills available on a wider scale is just what we need!
I’ve been watching and learning a lot from Neil's videos on YouTube for a while so when I got the opportunity to join The Facelift Academy, I jumped at the chance.
The knowledge and information that Neil shares is excellent and the way in which he presents his step-by-step video guides is brilliant. He is very easy to listen to and keeps your attention with easy to understand guidance and a little humour thrown in.
I truly believe that with the help of his videos, you could complete a project from start to finish as the detail is spot on.
I can’t wait to see what Neil has coming up next.
I’ve been watching Neil’s tutorials on YouTube during the past year and l find them really helpful for learning new techniques or refreshing my memory. In our trade experience is precious and l love how it’s generously shared by Facelift Interiors. Thank you so much & keep rocking!
To anyone considering learning upholstery, I can't recommend FaceLift Academy highly enough. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll learn so much from Neil. He brings enthusiasm, integrity, and humor to his tutorials, making them direct and easy to grasp. The Academy is the best place to learn, offering detailed, in-depth courses that cover everything from start to finish. If you're thinking about joining, do it! You won’t regret it, and you'll have plenty of laughs along the way. Thank you, FaceLift Academy!
I started my business here in Kona, Hawaii and I truly wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of Facelift Interiors! One of my first projects was diamond tufted booths for a restaurant and I was confident I’d be able to do it with Neil’s detailed, easy to follow videos. I’ve successfully gone on to do many many more projects thanks to their extensive library.
I can’t wait to have access to FaceLift Academy to keep learning from them and grow my skills & knowledge!
FaceLift Academy emphasizes hands-on practice, encouraging involvement in practical projects from the start, which helped me build confidence and skills. Neil breaks down complex techniques into simple, digestible steps, ensuring everyone can follow along and succeed. After 20 days, I upholstered two small chairs almost without difficulties, thanks to the engaging and motivating teaching style. This course was worth every cent (Euros here). And I cannot recommend the FaceLift Academy highly enough. Whether you’re a complete beginner, like me, or someone with some experience looking to give a shine to your skills, this course offers something for everyone. You will enjoy it!

I first came across FaceLift Interiors about a year and a half ago while looking for a specific upholstery trick video on YouTube. Neil’s video quickly got my attention among many others on there, not only because he explains everything down to micro-detail while showing every bit of it, but he does it effortlessly, adding a super fun and friendly flair making the experience of learning quite enjoyable. From sewing to staining and building a frame to of course gorgeous upholstery, FaceLift Interiors has an extensive video library for any upholstery needs. Thanks for all the shared knowledge, Neil, and good luck with FaceLiftInteriors Academy.

You are SOOOO Good! Wow! I have learned so much from you. I wish I was in Australia so you would do my furniture! Cheers mate!! __
Brilliant. Love the easy to follow tutorials. I am proudly on my second sofa now :-) Btw love that material, what make is it?
This was awesome! It definitely makes re-upholstery less intimidating. I'm excited for my 1st project! I'm re-upholstering my Great Grandmother's lounge chair that is now mine.
Best video I've seen so far on reupholstering.
This is beyond helpful.
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks for making them. I've just started to learn to sew and I've learnt a ton from your videos already!
Brilliant. Clear and very helpful.
You are fantastic! Without even trying you just showed me, in a way I actually understand, how to sew on a zipper and how to sew in piping! I'm always shown fiddly things with so many rules and tricks that I don't even want to do it. Well, now I'm going to go try this right now. Thank you so much!
This channel is soooo helpful (and entertaining). Thank you for saving me from making a ton of mistakes.
Thank you! Great teacher!
The details in this video are so helpful! After watching I gained a better understanding of how to reupholster my couch. I've been checking out other videos for some time and just found this one and for me, this has been the most helpful by far. Enjoyed the bits of humour too!
You really make me improve my skills thanks __ __
I love your videos. Your professionalism and skills really show. I know how to sew and have done a bit of upholstery but not on this scale, so it's really informative for me to watch.
Thank you Neil for all your videos they are great and so easy to understand and you're very easy to listen to. You make your videos very fun and enjoyable to watch�you�ve really helped me learn a lot about upholstery __
You. Are. INCREDIBLE! Thank you for this.
I am new to the upholstery trade and your videos are by far the most helpful I've found and I've watched A LOT of YouTube videos. Cheers and thank you for invaluable content!

Brilliant. Love the easy-to-follow tutorials. I am proudly on my second sofa now.
Wow the information and links are extensive, thanks!
Your vidos are by far the best - and I've watched lots! The explanations, the causes and problem solving, the quality of filming, the timing and the results of your work make them a real source of 'how to realise' good work. Thanks a lot and a big hug from France.
I have only just found your channel and I am really glad that I did. I have a wing back chair that needs upholstery but wasn't sure how to go about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as I now feel confident that I can give this a go.
Learning so much from you...thank you!
Greetings from sunny Florida! This was a great video - very clear and understandable. I appreciated the way you told us what the materials were as you used them, because I'm learning from YouTube tutorials like this, rather than taking a class.
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us. I could say that after watching your video I feel confident to start some projects that I've been procrastinating on for years.
Each one of your videos has such a great deal of attention applied. Please continue to make these. Love them!
Love the channel. Been in the trade over 30 years myself but I still pick up some nice ideas here. Keep up the good work. Wishing you much success.
This is beyond helpful.
I've learned soo much thanks __ __
Watched a lot of videos on button upholstery and yours is definitely the best. You�ve explained everything very clearly!
The details in this video are so helpful! After watching I gained a better understanding of how to reupholster my couch. I've been checking out other videos for some time and just found this one and for me this has been the most helpful by far. Will check out your other videos. Enjoyed the bits of humor too!
As a soon to be apprentice this is exactly the type of video I�ve been looking for, really looking forward to starting full time and learning as much as I can, again a great video :))
You're soo good! You explain it all so well. I totally reupholstered my lovely 1940s chair following your video on that (it looks amazing) and now I'm covering an old square stool. I couldn't work out how to make the corners neat... now I do!
Thank you for the clear instructions here. I always look forward to your videos. I've watched them all at least 2 or 3 times each.
AMAZING video as all of your videos and I LOVED the fabric!!!!
