This school is amazing!

This beauty school is amazing. Atmosphere is great and very welcoming by instructors and students. This beauty school offers plenty of services to choose from which is great due to the fact there are some beauty schools that do not offer lash lifts or extensions or brow laminations. You can tell that the students are very well trained at this school by knowledgeable instructors. Highly recommend
