I’m currently attending OSAS for their master esthetics program and I love it. Jin, Courtney, and Alex (the instructors) are all so sweet and helpful. Not only do they educate you on how to pass state boards but they also teach you how to be successful in the industry. If you’re interested in going to school and becoming an esthetician I 100% recommend coming here I love the dynamic all of the girls have created with each other. I have learned so much already and can’t wait to be licensed

I’ve been in school here since November and absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing and helpful, and you can tell they know a lot about this industry. Everyday we are learning something new and it’s always so exciting! I would recommend this school for anyone looking to become an esthetician!

I had a good experience. It’s really evident that everyone in charge cares about the students attending, and will help them any time they need it. I have plenty of state board practice which makes me feel confident for my upcoming exams. I think the one thing that might improve the school is having one more instructor/an assistant to help during hands on learning, just so everyone is extra secure in what they’re doing. I feel I used some of the best of best products and tools to learn, and I’m very grateful for that! Schools can easily charge more for less, but Jin made sure we always had what we needed, in the best quality, and more.
