I had a wonderful experience attending this cosmetology school, especially while completing the manicure and esthetician program. The instructors were supportive, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping students grow both professionally and personally. The hands-on training and guidance I received gave me the confidence and skills I needed to move forward in this industry. I am especially grateful to Mrs.Villegas, who consistently went above and beyond for her students. She was always patient, understanding, and incredibly helpful, no matter the situation. Her passion for teaching and genuine care for our success made a lasting impact on my learning experience. She created a positive and encouraging environment that made it easier to learn and stay motivated. Thank you to the school and to Mrs.Villegas for such a meaningful and empowering experience.

First, my husband and I go to UCAS Harlingen every Winter, as Winter Texans. A month ago we came in, I asked for highlights and a cut plus I got a pedicure. My husband got a mani-pedi and a haircut. Chloe did my highlights and cut and did a FABULOUS job! I’ve had many compliments. We came in today for mani-pedi and trims before leaving the Valley for the summer. Liz cut my hair today. She did a fantastic job! We will see them all again in November!
