What Our Graduates Say
Carolyn
“Something that I will never forget”
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 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.
Lizzy
“Gave me the knowledge to understand the beauty industry”
My experience at Milan Institute was so smooth and wonderful. I was scared and nervous at first. The whole staff was amazing. I’m blessed to say I was able to open my own shop in Merced a week before I graduated. I am now very grateful for all my clients who put their trust in me. Not only was Milan Institute able to give me knowledge as an Esthetician but it gave me knowledge to understand the beauty industry more. By studying anatomy and other subjects it helped me be more knowledgeable and that opened doors to more opportunities that I will forever be grateful for.
Emily
“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 to doing, 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 on nail booth at Crystalina’s nail shop.
