If you are an adult looking to renew your career, this is the place!! I can’t say enough good things about this school. I learned so much about my career and myself. Now I have lifelong memories and friendships that I’m endlessly grateful for. The level of education I received was top of the industry. Lots of hands on and off site educational experience too. I felt comfortable right away to start my career!!!

I would recommend, the school works with your schedule to make it possible to graduate. So grateful to have came across highly educated instructors - Mr. Alex & Miss Lorena. Educators who have such a passion for the industry. They don’t just come in to work for a check, they care so much for the students and help guide you into the right direction. Many times I wanted to give up and the educators always push you out of your comfort zone.

I was a full time student in 2021 for aesthetics during my six month course I had 5 different teachers. Many of the towel warmers were broken, we didn’t really have products to work with. It was a bad experience going to school here. You could tell it was a greedy institution. this school was predominantly teaching minority students. So when I researched their other schools, predominantly white and these schools were gorgeous !! I was so hurt. they had top-of-the-line products, top-of-the-line machines, and we had nothing like we didn’t matter. I do not recommend this school. I know after a petition was made they bought more things but I was already about to be done with school so it didn’t really help me. Instead of them reading that petition of what was going on and fixing it , they interviewed all the students that signed this petition and threatened to kick them out. They used scare tactics to try to oppress us. They tried to get me to write a letter saying I was not going to sue after I finished school.. I was 2 weeks away from graduating so I complied. So happy this nightmare is over. I studied that book and took a bunch of extra courses because they don’t teach really teach us on any other skin type other than a Fitzpatrick 1-3. so if you work with Asian, black & brown skin please invest in a course that will teach you about those skin types. I love this field so I had I not been on top of studying, asking questions. I’m sure I would’ve failed the state board but I didn’t!! I’m an award winning esthetician and cannabis infuser but that is because I made sure to read those books, to the extra courses and invested elsewhere etc. . I love what I do and there’s so many evil people in this billion dollar industry so be aware, trust your gut and invest in a better education. There was so many questions on that state board that were not things the teachers even taught us. This place was a joke.
