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

This school is amazing! I’m a hands on learner so I LOVE that the instructors aren’t just assigning homework and lectures, they are introducing the material and at the same time allowing us to have hands on learning to make sure we are understanding and applying all aspects of being a great esthetician.

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
