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!

I have had a great experience as a both a student and client. Thank you to all the instructors and both directors, Mrs. Zuniga and Mrs. Villegas, that helped me grow my passion for an industry I had never imagined I would love so much. For also showing us what we need to succeed. A great lesson I learned is how much EFFORT and DISCIPLINE WE as the students put into our learning and practice when we attend to class, will reap the best results.
