“Gave me the knowledge to understand the beauty industry”
I decided to go to Milan Institute after researching the Cosmetology program and thought it was the best choice being that I was a single mom. My overall experience at Milan Institute was something that I will never forget, it set up my standards for how I run my salon. As of 2020 I became a full owner with my partner and opened our very own salon during the pandemic which became so successful that within six months we expanded. Now we run two successful buildings and are always looking to expand our team and grow.
“Pushed me to success and find my passion”
Going back to school was something I had put behind me for several years, I felt that if I didn’t put my head into doing it, I would never get to it. I finally said I would, and I did. The cosmetology program set me to do what I craved the most, I was always attracted to the beauty industry and felt as if I was a little undecided about what I wanted to focus on. Going to school filled me with great knowledge and experience, and I was surrounded by mentors that pushed me to succeed and find my passion. I am now a licensed cosmetologist, working my own nail booth at Crystalina’s nail shop.
“It was a very rewarding time”
I decided to go back to school to better myself and help others. I enjoyed every minute of my experience at Milan Institute. I loved everything and everyone. Especially my instructor Mr. Cesa. It was a very rewarding time and time well spent. Math was difficult for me at first. I kept pushing and asking questions and took the advice of my instructor Mr. Cesa who informed me that I was overthinking. Finally, everything clicked and I maintained a 3.7 GPA from there on.
