As a May 2025 graduate of the Esthetics program, I couldn’t have asked for a better training experience. The instructors provided a strong foundation that I still rely on daily in my own practice. I especially loved that they brought in industry specialists to teach advanced services like lashes and Brazilian waxing, and I even had the honor of teaching several makeup classes myself during my time there and post graduation. Today, I proudly own an award-winning esthetics and makeup business. Forever grateful for my SMIHA family! - Taryn, owner of Milk & Honey Skin Studio.
