I owe my esthetician license to Amal, my incredible instructor. She was truly dedicated, guiding and supporting us every step of the way, even when other instructors abandoned us. Amal went above and beyond, investing her time and expertise to make sure we had the knowledge and skills we needed to succeed. Her commitment and passion for teaching made all the difference. If you’re lucky enough to learn from her, know you’re in the best hands!

Shout out to Amal Hameidan! Esthetician instructor she’s passionate at what she does and is determined to help everyone. I didn’t have the best experience with my instructors when I attended the school last year but she’s currently helping me practice for my state board and it’s such a big difference from what i’ve experienced. i’m grateful to have met her and her students!

As a former student at Dorsey College, I can confidently say that my time here has been incredibly rewarding. The academic programs are top notch, with passionate and knowledgeable professors who truly care about their students success. One of my favorite courses, anatomy challenged me to think critically and creatively and it was taught by one of my favorite professor Dr Riad the best of the best. My coordinator Matt Wyatt has always been there when I need him he goes above and beyond to help me find a job am happy and comfortable with. Dorsey had not only been a college to me but more like family.
