Went back with Tessa!! She was amazing!!!!

Paola did my hair and she did a great job!! Ask for her! I got bangs, a feathered cut along the front and layers in the back. She washed my hair and took her time!! I haven't had a cut in like a decade so I was super anxious. She made the process painless and comfortable. She got my opinion through every step!!!

Alexia did a great job with my hair! I'm in love with it. Tessa (hope I spelt that correctly) assisted and she did a great job as well. The instructor was very knowledgeable and supportive. It was a great experience. Very professional, great atmosphere, and overall great service. I'll be back again. Thank you Alexia, I feel brand new again ?.

I was a student here on the Advanced Cosmetology program. Overall, I had a pleasant experience here in Milan. The advice I can tell anyone considering going here or to any beauty school: come ready to learn, make new friends, have discipline, and have fun! You get experience by practicing on real people. You learn new things as well as customer service. Also don’t be afraid to ask for help. That’s what you’re here for: to learn. Don’t be afraid to ask a question. Many others might have the same question. Also, just be aware that you’ll also have to teach yourself. Every instructor here has a different way of doing things. Do what works for you. Go online and watch videos and tutorials. Also please study! It’s a lot of information to take in, so please read the book that they give you. Take notes. Pay attention. Participate. Now that that’s out of the way, I want to give a special thanks to those instructors that made my experience here so wonderful. Thank you Mr. Aron. Even though you don’t work here anymore, you were one of my favorites. You were my first instructor. You made learning fun. You inspired me to be the best student I could be. You were always so caring for your students. Thank you Ms. Karina. Thank you for being someone I could always come to when I had a question. Thank you for being a great Friday online instructor. Thank you for keeping me awake in class and participating. You were an amazing Advanced Cosmetologist instructor. Thank you Ms. Maira. Thank you for being someone I could just chit chat and be myself around. Thank your for your demos, I learned more about hairstyling from you. Thank you for always keeping me working. Thank you Ms. Cheyenne. Thank you for all your advice when it comes to hair care. You taught me how to take better care of my curls, as well as how to cut them and how to cut curly hair in general. Thank you for all your tips and tricks for hair. Thank you Ms. Dani. Thank you for telling me your story on how you started off as a cosmetologist and giving me insight on how I could start off. Thank you for your cool experiment you showed us, we all had a blast. Thank you for being your true, silly self. Thank you Mr. Thomas. Thank you for always being the instructor I came to when I needed to grab something from dispense or whenever we needed some music to lift the mood on the salon floor. Thank you Ms. Kass. Thank you for all your demos, thank you for always believing in me. Thank you for pushing me to do better. Thank you for sticking with me through services that I was not familiar with and needed someone there with me for support. Thank you Mr. Fabian. Thank you for always testing my knowledge on cosmetology. Thank you for always greeting me with a little peace sign that would always make me smile. Thank you for your barber enhancement class. I loved learning about airbrush and spray enhancements. Thank you Mr. Cody. Thank you for always being on top of things, fixing issues when they were brought up, and for a silly chat on anime. Lastly, thank you Ms. Becky. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for addressing my concerns when I had them. Thank you for having a little snack drawer that we could come get a little granola bar to boost our energy. Thank you for all your words of encouragement. Thank you Milan institute for overall giving me a great experience. I will miss it. I put some pictures of me at school, having fun!

Natalie is absolutely wonderful. She did such a great job layering mine and my daughters hair. She was so kind, friendly, and left our hair so nice. We liked her work so much that we referred my sister. My daughter can’t wait until she’s old enough to have blue and purple hair just like her favorite stylist. Thank you Natalie!!!

Davina Robbins

They were amazing they revived my dead strung out curls and taught me how to properly care for my curls. They were sweet and answered all the questions I had on my hair type. Before and after photos

Miriam Reyna very nice job on my toes! Thorough with the spa type pedicure too. I look forward to getting my toes done again, and finger nails too. Before, Miriam finishes her schooling at the MILAN INSTITUTE Merced California. Thank you future professional Stylist Miriam

Natalia G was excellent! She did a facial for me and did such an amazing job explaining the benefits of each product throughout the processes. I’ve never had a facial done before so I was a bit nervous at first but she is the sweetest and made me feel comfortable especially since she took her time and explained each step. My nerves were put at ease real quick. My face feels so refreshed and soft!! I’m very thankful that I had the opportunity to have had a great experience for it being my first time. I will definitely be back Natalia G.! Keep up the great work!!!

Sydney gave me an amazing hair cut and I got so many compliments from my coworkers. She gave me an even better hairstyle, this beautiful voluminous blowout my hair felt so soft and silky! 11/10 stars! She had such a positive vibe and super outgoing! Would definitely book again!
