I was a student here on the Advanced Cosmetology program. Overall, I had a pleasant experience here in Milan. The advice I can tell anyone considering going here or to any beauty school: come ready to learn, make new friends, have discipline, and have fun! You get experience by practicing on real people. You learn new things as well as customer service. Also don’t be afraid to ask for help. That’s what you’re here for: to learn. Don’t be afraid to ask a question. Many others might have the same question. Also, just be aware that you’ll also have to teach yourself. Every instructor here has a different way of doing things. Do what works for you. Go online and watch videos and tutorials. Also please study! It’s a lot of information to take in, so please read the book that they give you. Take notes. Pay attention. Participate. Now that that’s out of the way, I want to give a special thanks to those instructors that made my experience here so wonderful. Thank you Mr. Aron. Even though you don’t work here anymore, you were one of my favorites. You were my first instructor. You made learning fun. You inspired me to be the best student I could be.

Natalia G was excellent! She did a facial for me and did such an amazing job explaining the benefits of each product throughout the processes. I’ve never had a facial done before so I was a bit nervous at first but she is the sweetest and made me feel comfortable especially since she took her time and explained each step. My nerves were put at ease real quick. My face feels so refreshed and soft!! I’m very thankful that I had the opportunity to have had a great experience for it being my first time. I will definitely be back Natalia G.! Keep up the great work!!!
