I love coming to Milan for not only my hair services but I recently started getting facials and a gel manicure. I had a great student esthetician, Jasmine, who was very kind and knowledgeable. I had a gel manicure done by Madison, she did an excellent job on my pink valentine nails! Lastly, I had my bangs cut by Jacob, he was very personable and made me feel comfortable when I was ready for a change. I also had help from both Ms. Ericas, one helped guide Madison with my nails and the other Ms. Erica helped Jacob with my haircut. Stephanie at the front desk was informative and helped me get in my last minute hair cut. This isn’t my first time or last time coming to Milan!

Ms. Silva is The Best Teacher! She is really efficient and thorough so we learn everything we need to know quickly. She has this tough love way of being, which is helpful because it’s easy for me to get sidetracked but she motivates me to be the best cosmetologist I can be. Thank you Ms. Silva
