Not only was she a walking encyclopedia of information, she was thorough and fun. I took both the eyelash extension class and the microblading class. I knew the basic "idea" of how these services would work but the parts that I was nervous about such as color matching, Gina was able to lay my nerves to rest. As they say, practice makes perfect and Gina allows enough practical time after theory to just practice, practice, practice. I am also thankful to the owner, Amanda, as well for providing classes like these and for providing teachers like Gina. I have learned so much and can't wait to take more advanced classes from you down the road. Thanks again for giving me the knowledge and tools to create a new career. I'm so excited!!

I rarely write posts like this, but I feel compelled to share our experience with the homeschool…read morevendor Beyond Alphabets, run by Saeedeh Rad. I initially enrolled my children in the art camp (9-1) for June. Everything went fine. Ms Rad also mentioned a STEM camp in the afternoons (1:30-4:30), which we planned to add in July when we needed longer drop off support. Here's where things went sideways... I paid for the art camp the day before camp started in July and then followed up via text to confirm and pay for STEM. Ms Rad even asked what focus the kids wanted for STEM, which reinforced that we were able to enroll in both camps. The next day, however, I received a message around 12:30 saying my kids were almost done for the day. I replied, confused, since they were supposed to be enrolled for full days. That's when I learned that both art and STEM now ran simultaneously from 9-1. I was stunned. (Ms Rad said she mentioned this in the text, which she did, but I clearly misunderstood her text, as I was working off the schedule on her website, which still had two camps at independent times each day) Despite what she mentioned in the text and knowing I had already enrolled - and paid - for the art camp, she accepted a second payment for a simultaneous STEM class a couple of hours later and then refused to issue a refund less than 24 hours later when the mistake came to light! Her policy may be "no refunds," but this wasn't a cancellation or change of mind. This was a double-booking she approved and she knew about. I don't see how a "no refund" policy applies to a double-booking that an owner knowingly approved. Unfortunately, it didn't end there... On my children's final day, Ms Rad emailed my husband in the morning prior to drop off and asked us to pick them up 1.5 hours early to "accommodate staff breaks" that hadn't happened during the time my children were at camp. In effect, she was trying to retroactively reclaim break time - on the last day - after charging us for full-day camps all along. Not only is that highly unprofessional, but it also makes no sense. No one was ever asked to pick up early in June when full day attendance was open. And for context, our children were the only ones there past 1. This was not a simple miscommunication - it was a deeply unethical and highly unprofessional experience that left a terrible impression and taste in my mouth. I genuinely cannot recommend Beyond Alphabets based on my experience

When I called Victoria to sign up for a SofTap permanent makeup class with Facial Concepts Academy…read moreI didn't know what to expect. Partly because I was coming from Las Vegas and it was in CA but also because it was a new venture into the world of permanent makeup. I arrived at the studio for my first day of training, I loved it! It was beautiful and really seemed to have the perfect setup. I learned everything I needed and more. Victoria was amazing! She really helped me gain the knowledge of the different services and the procedures for each one and increased my confidence to be able to handle it all on my own. The models that came in for me were all so patient and sweet I really feel Victoria has a class act academy and she really does a one on one to help you. If you are interested in venturing into the world of SofTap permanent makeup, I'd highly advise getting it done with her at a Facial Concepts Academy. You won't regret it!! I know I didn't!

I was greeted by Crystal, who went above and beyond to ensure the floral arrangements were exactly as I envisioned. She showed me several options and color selections. During this difficult time, she was incredibly sensitive and compassionate, fully understanding how important these arrangements were to me. Crystal sent me pictures of the first set she put together and asked for my feedback, incorporating any changes I requested to make them perfect. My pickup was scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, and I was concerned about whether the order would be ready on time because of the holiday. To my reassurance, Crystal called me two hours ahead of the set time to let me know the arrangements were ready for pickup. Later, she called me again and offered to deliver them to my home--a thoughtful gesture I wasn't expecting. Crystal's kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference during such a challenging moment. The florals were so very pretty, beyond my expectations . I can't thank her enough for her compassion and professionalism.
