“I wanted to create a better future for myself”
I graduated from the Barbering program in September 2021. I decided to go back to school because I wanted to create a better future for myself and something that I could build off of. My overall experience at Milan Institute was good. Very thankful for Milan staff and how hard they push you to stay on task. I eventually would like to open up my own barbershop with nice structure but also give my barbers the freedom to be creative.
“I love my current job”
I graduated from the Barbering Program at Milan Institute. My experience at Milan Institute was very educational and had some fun times. I am currently employed at Westcoast Inc. I love my current job because of the freedom to set my own schedule and interact with people from all kinds of places. I plan to open a couple shops in/or around Fresno and Los Angeles area.
“It was a very rewarding time”
