I had the pleasure of attending the Full Specialist program at Hollywood Institute in 2022, and I couldn't be more grateful! My instructors, Mrs. Susan (Nails) and Mrs. Ida (Esthetics), were exceptional - with years of experience, they provided guidance and mentorship. Although I'm unsure if they're still part of the faculty, their impact on my education was significant. The school's intimate setting and small class sizes allowed for tailored attention and support, laying a solid foundation for my future success. I'm thrilled to have chosen Hollywood Institute for my training - no regrets whatsoever!
