I had an microdermabrasion at AIB on Tuesday. Instructor Ms Shelia and her student Yuliana were outstanding. Ms Shelia is an excellent instructor. She was constantly giving her students positive feedback on their work. Yuliia was very professional and also so sweet and kind and a real quick learner. I will be coming back.

Mrs.Dee is the best teacher in my opinion in the school she is the right amount of strict so you get your stuff done as well as nice and funny she is a comedian. She teaches in a way that I’ve never seen and I actually love it I have a hard time with the way people teach but she did amazing I understood everything and she helped when I needed it my whole experience in the nail room during the day was great I would do it all over again.

Being in the class was one of the largest blessings in my life. I started off very worried, I could even say scared. The instructor Ashley showed me there was nothing to fear about being a male in the massage therapy field. She not only taught the information but also taught the student. If there was ever a problem within the class she confronted it. Her only expectations was for you to be yourself and come in with an open mind to learn. We had to study the information at home to prepare for the tests. The school Even has massage prep. (A program designed to help you study for the final test to get your license) I had car issues multiple times during my time in the school. I thought I was too far behind and I thought my only choice was to drop out. Ashley worked with me to continue my education. She was correct that I graduated on time. I will never forget the things that I have learned both in the massage therapy field and also as a human. I can't be more thankful for those short months in my life. If anyone has an interest to go into this field I would highly recommend this class. I personally drove 2 hours a day to attend this school.
