I went to crave beauty for facial last Saturday. I specifically went to, Tiara Willis. Who offered me one amazing experience for a facial. From the warming blanket, to her very considerate touch. She was very educated, before each and every product she used, she explained what it was, what it does for the skin and even gave me the option of if I wanted it or not. She gave quiet time and a comforting space to really enjoy one of the best facials I’ve gotten in a very long time and the best nap! I can’t wait to see where she ends up !

I’m currently a student at Crave Beauty Academy for the nail technician program. It’s been my absolute best experience in the beauty industry; this is my second time attending beauty school. My classmates and I became very close immediately and my instructors are phenomenal. Ms. Boone has such a unique and quirky way of teaching and the knowledge of things you wouldn’t think you could retain DOES stick thanks to the way she teaches. Mrs. Wilson is a fantastic instructor as well, they both equally encourage us students to persevere and be creative and they hype up our work!

Recently graduated from Crave and my Nail Instructor was Ms. Boone! I loved having her as a teacher, she is very knowledgeable and was able to answer my many (sometimes stubborn) questions. I love that she challenged me to do my best, even when I doubted myself under the pressure of all my assignments. Ms. Boone believed in me and even convinced me to enter in a Nail competition. I hope I've made her proud :)
