Student Testimonial – Hannah Conklin, Advanced Cosmetologist
Tour our campus, meet with students & instructors and get a feel for what it’s like to be a part of our community. Friends and family are strongly encouraged to come along!
This is what you will receive as a Advanced Cosmetologist student. On the first day of school students receive a starter kit, books, apron, and nametag. When the student reaches 300 hours of attendance, they will receive their iPad and Pivot Point access codes. At 600 hours of attendance, they will receive a Glo-Minerals mineral make-up kit.
I can say that this school has TRULY changed my life. The instructors are absolutely AMAZING and are so caring and understanding. I would recommended this school to anyone who has a passion to do hair.
