Reviews

  • The best part of attending the Esthetician program was not only learning something new but having a teacher like Mrs.Kym who is knowledgeable, sweet, caring, and wants the best for her students. One of her goals is to make sure you pass the State Board but also be ready to go out into the world and be a professional. She made class worth coming to every night.

  • I have had the BEST experience with Ms Kym, in the esthetics department! I was a transfer student from another school, and learned more in the 3 months I was with Ms. Kym, than I did in my 6 months at another school. Ms. Kym puts her all into her students, by teaching everything knows from her experience to her own esthetics business, all the way down to her nursing degree! Ms Kym always comes in with a positive attitude, and is ready to teach! She is serious about her craft, and it shows in the loving way that she teaches ALL of her students!

The individual relationships that she forms with each one of her students makes this school experience different from any other; she ensures that each person who comes in her door ready to learn will have every piece of knowledge they will need by the time they graduate and begin their professional career in the industry.

  • I have nothing but great things to say. Ms.Kym’s incredible teaching skills and immense knowledge of esthetics are a couple of reasons I would recommend this program to others. She is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had and her constant support and desire to teach every person in her class puts her above all other instructors.

    Angelica W.

  • Ms.Kym was simple amazing. I went full time and it was hard work and being a single parent all while going to school and if it wasn’t for Ms. Kym making me feel like I can do it and reminding me EVERYDAY how far I’ve come I probably wouldn’t have made it. She is definitely a good teacher but also a great support system.

  • I’m still so blessed and thankful to have been taught by one of the BEST teachers I have ever had. Ms.Kym is so loving, knowledgeable, encouraging, and an all around amazing person. She has been like a mother figure to me since I met her when starting the program in July 2020. I recently passed my practical exam to become a licensed esthetician and she has literally been there every step of the way, even after I graduated from the program. There are honestly no words to describe how much of a blessing it is to be taught by Ms.Kym Storms.

  • Ms. Kym is so knowledgeable and is so hands on with her students. I had the most thorough education and she prepared me for everything and more! I graduated in Dec 2020 and even through the pandemic, she made sure she got us what we needed to succeed. I am now licensed and own my own studio and have incorporated soooo many of her tips and knowledge of the industry. I can proudly say that in the less than 3 months I’ve been open, her teachings in esthetics has greatly influenced the work I do now and I know I can be successful doing what I love. I still keep in contact with her with questions.

    Victorlia P.

  • Ms. Kym is such an amazing instructor. She taught us more than most beauty schools because her belief is to have us fully prepared to successfully work for a company or succeed independently. She also prepared us well for the state exams! It was great to hear that students at this school graduate & pass there exams at a 90% or above.
