The hands on learning, and daily practice alongside my classmates and teachers have definitely helped me learn and excel at the basics, while touching on trending nail designs with guest teachers and special nail art classes throughout the course.

A plus is that we get Apres Gel-X certified while enrolled in the class, as this school is partnered with Apres. A1 beauty school

During my time there, I stepped out of my shell, learned the proper ways of sanitizing, gained confidence within myself, and was fully prepared for my state board test and the next chapter of my journey within esthetics. The Patroness Ms. Maria, with her vibrant purple hue each and every day, brought passion, encouragement, and light into the school. One of the most beautiful things to witness was seeing her light up whenever her students made their dreams become reality through something she built for us to learn within. I will always be grateful for the foundation, knowledge, and encouragement Beyond 21st Century Beauty gave me as I continue growing within this industry, and I know if I ever need advice or guidance along the way, they would be there to assist and support me.

My experience with Facing Beauty Studios was alright. I had my makeup done for my engagement photos…read moreand my wedding. For the engagement photos, I felt like Karla was really engaged and made an effort to make me happy. I don't know if my wedding day was a bad day for her, but it felt a little rushed and off. My makeup was great for the wedding. It lasted all night, and it looked really subtle and natural. My only complaint would be the lip products she used. It was glossy and looked patchy when applied. I had to wipe it off and use my own lipstick. Also, my hairstyle didn't even last an hour after being done. I had to have my bridesmaids completely curl my hair again, which was stressful because it was time consuming. For the price charged, I felt like the hairstyle should've lasted longer than it did. I felt that whenever I showed Karla my hair inspirations on Pinterest, she more often than not told me how it wouldn't work on me, rather than try to help me achieve the hairstyle I wanted. It was a bit demotivating. Overall, I did like my makeup, but I had to make tweaks to really be happy. My hair had to be completely redone. I'm not sure I would be able to recommend this studio to others.

Karla made me look and feel beautiful! My makeup was not over done.. not too much.. just perfect for me. She asks your thoughts about the application as she's doing it but also gives her professional insight. Will definitely be reaching out to Karla for future beautification. Thank you Karla!

I chose JLC Beauty school after comparing multiple programs and looking at their high exam pass…read morerates online. Their pricing was more competitive than other schools offering a manicurist license, which made the decision even more practical without compromising quality. Ms. Carrie was a standout instructor her ability to break down the material and streamline the learning process made preparing for the state board feel structured, clear, and highly achievable! That level of guidance is invaluable. She is a great teacher! Mr.Lai is always kind, professional, and encouraging. He is always very considerate, and cares for every student! The environment itself is welcoming yet professional, creating a space that encourages growth while maintaining high standards. One of the standout aspects of this program is their flexibility. They were able to accommodate my schedule, making it possible to stay consistent despite having a busy lifestyle. They also brought in the creator of Sofgel to give a live demo, along with offering discounted products, which added a lot of value and real industry insight to the program. I left the program not only licensed, but confident in my skills and foundation. I would strongly recommend this school. Although it's a Chinese-based school, the program is fully accessible in English -200- hour online portion. Don't let that discourage you it's *very* manageable and accommodating for English-speaking students!

It is only $15 for a gel manicure and the students always take their time doing my nails. I have never been disappointed. Scheduling an appointment is also extremely easy, just give them a call.

They allow you to take the class multiple times which is a plus if you need more hands on training. I was also able to call and ask questions after taking the class. Bianca always answered her phone or called back right away. I took the class two weeks ago, ordered my supplies and started this week. I've booked 7 appointments this week alone and so far the clients who have had bad experiences in the past from other lash specialists are very happy with my work and I'm confident that I can make a successful business doing this. Thanks so much!

So I started searching relevant hashtags on Instagram and discovered Carla (Dash teacher). I instantly fell in love with her attention to detail. When I contacted her she was very polite and professional, and she gave me a good feeling! So I flew from Portland to Los Angeles and attended her 5 day course! Carla is passionate for teaching and hair styling, and she knows what she's doing (those are the kind of people you want to learn from). She is a very genuine person. Now I'm back in Portland taking jobs with companies like Nike and local stores. I am thankful that I found Carla, and I highly recommend her!

I attended the James Albert School for my Estheticians License and thought the experience was…read moregreat! I am in my 40's and working full-time so I attended school part-time. My teacher was Ms. Asmi who is at the beautiful campus in Fullerton. I liked the fact that Ms. Asmi is fair with the students and is consistant in the rules of what she expects of each student so that everyone feels equal. Not only does she give individual attention to students but she also encourages a team effort. In my experience with Ms. Asmi everyone got along great! We had fun learning and we worked hard so that we were prepared to pass the State Board Test as well as service clients who came to the school in a professional manner. She goes through the book chapter by chapter and points out everything that could be asked on the State Board test so you can highlight it. (I knew all the answers for the written test at state board, except for 3!) Ms. Asmi is easy to follow when training the students on the different procedures and you feel confident and ready to be a qualified estitician when you graduate. I have had many facials from fancy spa's that cost $120.00 and I cannot tell the difference between their facial and the ones Ms. Asmi teaches! At the salon they use quality facial products from Dermalogica and Murrad which I recieved a certificate for knowing all the different facial techniques. To pass the Practical Test for State Board Ms. Asmi has posted up on YouTube 10 short videos demonstrating the different procedures that you will need to perform and how to do it. All I did was study these video's, take notes and I passed! You can find the videos on YouTube my searching for Ms Asmi, James Albert School. For the State Board Practical Test you will need to rent a kit. I rented mine from Farah's Smart Rental Kit in Irvine, CA. The kit was so well organized and I know that this played a big part in my passing the Practical Test. I did look at the other Kit Companies and it was so confusing. She was the same price as the other Kit Companies and gave me a free white jacket. 949.231.2628 - Ms. Asmi has her phone number! There are different fun contests that Ms. Asmi does using the different techniques we learn such as Makeup Contests. We had several guest speakers that came to the school on different subjects that was interesting. We also participated in the Anaheim Parade hat Ms. Asmi organized where James Albert (Yea! There is a REAL James Albert!) recieved an award from the President of the United States for his contribution to charity. The award is up at the Costa Mesa, CA Salon! James Albert himself actually does travel to the different schools to train the Cosmetology Students and I was able to sit in on a talk that he was giving to the students about attitude, goals and how to create a business. He is VERY charismatic, a wonderful artist and a savy business owner! Students are lucky to have him as a teacher. Many of his client are well known in the community as well as many celebrities hair and you can get your hair done at his Salon in Newport Beach. He also has his own line of James Albert product that are wonderful. Theres a reason why the school is called; "James Albert!" Nothing is perfect and if you are in a situation that you are unhappy about, I suggest you write a letter addressed to James Albert and mail it certified mail to the corportation in Corona, CA stating what is happening. James Albert has regular meetings with the teachers and is very swift in solving any issues and is very fair to everyone. When a esthetician student graduates from school, Ms. Asmi will let us throw a graduation party. At my graduation I had a "Princess Party" with paper tiara's, food, cake, boa, music, party games with prizes! She will let you invite your friends if you like and we had a blast! Check out this school in Fullerton and say "Hi" to Ms. Asmi and James Albert for me! : - )
