“You walk in and literally everything's been redone. It's beautiful! Classrooms for each practice, gorgeous brand new stations, and looks like the nicest business in the location. After walking in, Christina was nice enough to give me a tour and have a one on one talk about how to enroll. I've looked high and low for a good beauty school to attend and this one blows the other ones out of the water. I'm so glad I picked Bamboo!
