I had a really good experience at Milan. I was greeted by friendly staff and just what I needed to make me feel relaxed for the day. Kayla Martinez was very helpful and explained everything very well and made me feel comfortable. The face massage was relaxing and the microderm she did was not painful at all. She also gave me a little regimen of products I can use for my skin which is very helpful. I definitely will be coming again. Thanks Kayla💞

I recently received a facial and waxing treatment from Melissa G, and I must say that her services were exceptional. The experience was incredibly relaxing, and my skin felt radiant and incredibly smooth afterward. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a rejuvenating skincare experience.

I am a student here in Milan on the Visalia campus. One thing I have loved about coming to campus is getting to interact with my teachers. Ms Sandra & Mr Esteban have been very helpful by showing me ways to improve on my skills. They are very approachable and they assist me on my work area without any hesitation. I love to see when Ms Sandra & Mr Esteban are here because they make the environment welcoming & they are friendly to everyone. They both give me good advice & I know I can rely on them for help. Thank you both for being great teachers
