I am a student in the manicure program, just finished phase 1. Mr. C is an awesome instructor who goes above and beyond for his students, I will miss him in phase 2! One of favorite teachers I have ever had. He cares about the students a lot. All of the school staff is very friendly and everyone is very helpful whether you are in their class or not. Our class in phase 1 was small, which I liked because there was plenty of opportunity for 1 on 1 work with my instructor. My only concern was the length of phase 1, I'm not sure if other schools take more time on this phase, but it's a lot of work crammed into 5 weeks. It was very rushed. But ready or not, on to phase 2! Thank you, Mr. C!

Mr. C is an awesome instructor! He always made himself available to us for questions throughout the week, even when we were not in class. The only feedback/thought I have about Phase 1 with Milan is that it seems too short. There's a lot of information packed into 5 weeks and I can see how some students could feel too rushed. However, I agree that hands on experience is the best form of learning in the manicurist program so, to an extent, I understand it. Thank you, Mr. C for being such an amazing and supportive instructor!
