Brittany Beauty Academy 5 star review

Online portion of the session was AMAZING with MS SHEILA She goes over the theory portion so in depth and even has you doing hands on services during the zoom class that allows you to feel MORE THAN PREPARED for when you hit the senior floor and start taking clients. When you get on the floor, make sure to learn as much as you can with Ms Yona. She’s INCREDIBLY and so passionate about what she does
