I had a haircut from Dominic and the whole experience was amazing. He took the time to listen to what I wanted to have done to my hair to help me get the look I wanted. Not only was I very happy with the cut but the environment was very very welcoming. I highly recommend this school for all your beauty needs and also highly recommend Dominic as well. Such an amazing job and I will be coming back again in the future. I can tell the teachers care and value the education they are putting into their students.

Thank you to Elisabeth, aka Liz, who did my nails!!!! She was utterly AMAZING, and so so thorough with not only her work, but explaining the steps, process, as well as aftercare! (I've had countless sets of acrylic through the years & never knew it took 48 hours for the acrylic to fully dry/set!) I work at a zoo, and the people I work with have all been fawning over the colors & design Liz & I agreed to.

I got my nails done by the amazing Liz! She is hands down one of the most caring nail techs out there. She really makes sure to promote healthy nails and has such a passion for it. Her nail art is above and beyond, so creative and really brings the vision to life! Always has good conversation, and makes sure you’re comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
