It was also to build my confidence in my work, which I did. Her encouragement throughout this entire process was needed and appreciated. I was motivated by her drive and determination as well. She shared so much knowledge with me not only on a professional level but also on a personal level. Learning nails was only my start I will be back to gain more knowledge and encourage anyone looking to learn about the beauty industry, to become a Luxurious Looks Beauty Academy Student. It is worth every penny.

A warm & inviting atmosphere, talented make up artists (especially Taryll Atkins, you slay girl! & Daisy, you're awesome, love ya!), positive energy & good vibes, lots of helpful tips & tricks of the trade and so much fun along the way. As a career change from a 5th grade teacher to makeup artist, I was fortunate to have found Academy of Glam. My love for & passion for creating art through makeup, only got stronger. I learned so much and became a better version of myself. Thank you Academy of Glam & Victoria Duke for helping me to grow as a professional & confident makeup artist. GLAM ON!

I took a class in January at Academy of Glam. It was amazing. Here is my blog about it. I highly…read morerecommend AOG to make up artists, models, and anyone looking for a "happy place." onight was my last class of a series entitled "New You" at Academy of Glam (http://www.academyofglam.com) so of course I had to take a picture there! You can read the class description here as I did: http://jewelsfablife.com/2011/01/06/happy-new-you-happy-new-me/ Well, the class was totally different as described in my friend's blog, but I can't exactly describe it... Why? Because it was different for everyone. It was more soul searching than I thought, and it wasn't full of ladies my age... it was full of ladies half my age through ladies almost twice my age, but we all had something in common, we were there for ourselves. Not a selfish kind of thing, but almost like a female retreat.. Dancing, Crying, Laughing, Hair Styling, Browtox (not really, but the way this lady did your eye brows, you leave looking like you just had eye lifting surgery {http://www.wowbrows.net} ) Make Up Lessons, Photo Shoots, Facial Masks, Belly Dancing, Burlesque Dance Class, Zumba Class, Self Defense Classes, Nutrition Advice, Supplement Advice, Meditation, Financial Fun Advice ( by Natalie P. McNeal, author of The Frugalista Files { http://www.thefrugalista.com } )Fun, Fun, and Reality TV Taping, too. But what did I get out of it? A sense of not power, but empowerment.. does that make sense? I learnt to "Dream Big." Not like... I will win the lotto tomorrow..but a huge combination of things... to have a private, sacred place in my home dedicated to me.....a place that I can define my goals and dreams. It may just be a journal on my dresser next to my new fabulous makeup, or it may be a huge poster board with pictures on it to visualize my dreams...my destiny...my life. I am happier now than ever. It's like turned 30 and decided, who cares if people like me or don't. If they like the way I raise my kids, or don't..the way I dress, the way I operate.. if they don't like me, no worries, I don't need them to be a character in my movie.. they don't even need to be an extra! :) I made some awesome friends from this experience, I met many make up artists, but one in particular really stood out, but not as a make up artist, but as an individual...as a friend...and it happens that I also really hit it off with her husband, too.. Not knowing he was her husband at first too, didn't put two and two together for a minute there.. :) (http://mymakeupchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/editorial-makeup.html) I met someone I admired as a photographer, too, and now I can definitely call her a friend, and wow she stays busy. She has an awesome house that she turned into the ultimate location for photo/video shoots (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Mendy-House/127636300620740) So all in all, it was for sure the best $49 I ever spent, and hope to take some more classes there. It's just a great place to be! :)

My daughter was enrolled for the summer nail tech program after we went to visit the school…read moretogether (she is a minor - the classes for 16 and older). It started off great with the first teacher, but she was pregnant and her last day was at the end of last week. They replaced her with an incredibly incompetent teacher who seems to take pride in making people feel terrible. I heard it all week (only day three and it's that bad) about other students, crying, going to night classes to actually learn which she isn't teaching them, and overall made the feel terrible about themselves. The contact at the school loves to reply using the excuse that it's an adult program (does that mean adults should tolerate this - pay for this type of treatment and classroom atmosphere?!?). First of all, it's not an adult program or they wouldn't accept 16+. Adult or child, no one should have to endure this type of atmosphere, which is night and day from just last week when the original teacher was still there! I think it's horrible that the first response is an excuse, let alone this excuse. This is not what I paid for and this is not what my daughter signed up for... I highly suggest looking into another school before signing up for Boca Beauty Academy. I will update once the issue is resolved, but looking back I wish I did a little more digging into prior feedback as this seems to be a redundant issue with the school at both locations. Disappointing, to say the least. Also, I was told that I was paying for everything needed, and that is not the case. I had to spend a lot more money on decent supplies since what I paid for was junk. I will compile a list total how much out-of-pocket I've spent on decent products compared to what I paid for initially when I paid for the summer program.

The teachers were not trained in any products, hands on training or demonstrations. One teacher just sat at her desk drinking coffee during the whole class everyday. The owner of the school is a fake & fraud, all about the money. ,He even would charge extra for supplies for certain classes, when the supplies were supposed to be included. Luckily I studied the techniques and textbook to pass this course because the method of their teaching is not teaching just pay me the money. Scammers. After threatening the owner of a lawsuit of withholding my Certificate of Completion and the documentation needed for state board so I can finally receive my license ,it had taken 3 weeks when the school could of done it in one day which this was included in the price.This school has been reported to the state, City and Better Business Bureau.

The instructor absolutely destroyed my daughters nails - irritating the cuticles, leaving her nails raw, infected & oozing with puss. The. went on to out a poly gel on and didn't dry it completely (my daughter even asked bc the cycle had not completed). This caused further irritation & infection bc of the wet polish on top of the open sores. She also has cuts and bruises. We called they were unable to see her for over 24 hours - went to a different salon and they would not work on her bc they did not want to exasperate the infection and irritation. I finally found a reputable salon willing to just take the polish off. That technician was appalled and remarked how serious this could have become quickly. The owner is unwilling to refund. I have included pictures - stay away from this school. Its a disgrace.
