Our Testimonial
What Our Beloved Students Say About Us
First of all let me say I loved the aesthetic of her salon and it’s beautiful. She is a great hairstylist. I left my hair smelling great and feeling amazing. She invited me to model in a photoshoot for salon and she styled my hair curly then straight and I loved it . The shoot was very fun and professional.
She is literally the best teacher I’ve ever had. She really cares about your education and takes time to break things down if you need it. She is not afraid to be transparent and honest with you. She’s truly a blessing in the classroom and I’m not being full of it.
Tesha is the best with any hair! She listens and always makes you feel your best.
Ms. T who was my former educator (an amazing educator at that), but who I still go to for mentoring and guidance. did a wonderful loc repair & loc reattachment as an example for our class cause not many cosmo schools provide a loc curriculum or go in depth with locs . She goes over everything thoroughly to make sure you don’t fail or fall behind . She cares for her students as well. Having her as an educator was a great honor and I’m glad I was able to have an educator like her.
I was one of Mrs. McDonald’s students at Empire Beauty School. Not only is she a wonderful educator. She is a great mentor as well. She is one of those teachers who is always real and upfront with you, she wants to see you succeed in any path that you take. She encourages her students to ask for help and doesn’t make you feel dumb or like you don’t belong because you need help. As a young girl still learning the industrial she has been amazing at letting me pick her brain and giving me tips and tricks to help me succeed. I would not trade the experiences she has allowed me to be a part of or the things she has taught me for anything
