I’ve always been interested in the beauty industry and I’m very glad I chose to enroll at Continental School of Beauty. My instructors are great. They are always open to answer any questions I have, always with a positive attitude and willing to help me with my studying and/or performing services.
The instructors were all amazing in their own way. Some instructors were more in depth with teaching theory while others did demos on different hair styles, but overall each teacher taught me something new. Each person helped me become a better hairstylist.
