Testimonials

Absolutely beautiful new campus!

—Michelle

Attending this cosmetology school has been an absolute blessing! From day one, the atmosphere has been incredibly welcoming, creating the perfect environment for learning and personal growth. It’s not just a school; it’s like joining a big, supportive family where everyone, from the instructors to fellow students, shares a passion for beauty and excellence.

The instructors at this school are truly exceptional. They are not only hands-on and attentive when working with clients but are equally dedicated to student success. Their approach goes beyond typical expectations, offering a blend of real-world practical skills and comprehensive theoretical knowledge that ensures all students are well-prepared for their future careers.

What makes this school stand out even more is the community feel that extends to our clients. They frequently visit our on-site salon and spa, drawn by the inviting atmosphere and the high-quality service they know they’ll receive. Their consistent praise and repeated visits highlight the school’s commitment to excellence and community building.

Choosing this school was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It has not only provided me with top-notch educational experiences but has also welcomed me into a warm community of like-minded individuals. This is more than just a place to learn; it’s a place to grow, share, and thrive. If you’re seeking a cosmetology, esthetician, or manicuring school that offers both professional training and a heartfelt community, look no further!

—Danny

I’m currently attending the manicuring program here, and I was so worried about a variety of things. I completely overthought everything about this school because it’s been an amazing experience. I love all the girls; class is truly fun, and I enjoy every second of it. Overall, Nakia is my instructor, and I truly could not ask for a better instructor. She helps, she’s hands-on, and she’s there to help and to teach. She cares, so 5 stars for me and 5 stars to Nakia for being the best teacher ever.
