"I myself can say how much I have gained from the new habits that have turned into every day life for me. Even better that it has spilled over into every facet from client relationships to personal and professional relationships. When I signed up I did not realize how much better my life would be after I finished school and just how prepared I would be to start working right away and not have to do training for 3-6 month like some of my coworkers. After learning the products and treatments I was put right to work on my own with clients. (This took right at 2 weeks!) I am so so thankful for the life I have been given due to this school!!"

"As a master student in the program, I feel I have grown both as a student and a person. The amount of time and effort that the instructors Matt and Laura put into the classroom and into the students is amazing and shows they truly care about us as people. Not to mention the hybrid nature of the class with both in person and online days allows for a great amount of flexibility in my day to day life. I am excited to see how far I will continue to grow and where their guidance will push me past what I thought was possible."

"My name is Lana A and I am a current master student at The Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics. Attending this school of esthetics has changed my life completely. Both teachers Matt and Laura teach all of their students how to be their best selves inside and outside of the industry. They are both very knowledgeable of their work and love to help others achieve their ultimate goals. Their educational standards are very high for their students making it sometimes challenging for some, but many don’t realize that this tactic is what prepares us for our future in the industry. Matt and Laura care deeply for their students setting them apart from other schools. In my time at The Institute, I have learned so much. Not only about esthetics, but how to run a business in the industry and be successful while doing so."

"Joining the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics has been one of the best decisions I have made. Number one, the hours of classes and online class are much easier to manage in daily life, without having to change everything around. If you want to aim to be the best, and refuse to stop at "mediocre", this is the school for you. We strive for greatness and excellence at the institution. Laura and Matt have been able to give me the structure I needed in my life to get me off my feet, and helped me gain the passion of wanting to be something more, always. Laura and Matt do push us to do our absolute best here, whether we like it or not. That is what I greatly appreciate about them as a team, they will do whatever they can to help the students be the top performers out there in the esthetics career field. Laura and Matt are also known to not sugarcoat things, which I feel is an amazing feature they have. It makes sure we understand the severity of what they are saying, and understand why it is important to be the best in the esthetics career, something I don't think I would have grasped if I chose another school!"

"As a graduate of the school I can tell you that 100% I got my first job because of the rules and expectations from my teachers I had to live by and the good reputation of the school. It was not easy. I saw a couple of my class girls drop like flies when they just gave up too soon and did not wanna do the hard work it takes. It was worth every late night I spent studying. When I walked in for my first interview, the owner of the spa that I applied to said he turned down numerous other applications to bring me in. While I was in school I became a better person not just for myself but also for my babies! My teachers always saw the good in me and always pushed me to be a better person daily and now I am living what I was taught. My clients and my manager comment on how good I am with my treatments, how clean my room constantly is and how I am always on time! This was definitely the best choice not only for the education, but also, the school taught me many life skills that I never had in the past."

"My experience at the Institute has been so much more than what I expected. I personally chose to go to this school because I wanted to have the most advanced educational opportunity available to me, and this program has proven to be exactly what I was looking for. I have learned so much information not only about esthetics itself, but also how the industry operates. Matt and Laura are industry experts and truly the best in the business to learn from in my personal opinion. They will push you to be the best version of you, while providing you with extensive knowledge about improving yourself in a business sense. They work endlessly in attempt to help all students get to the best version of themselves! I am extremely impressed with the program and would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve themselves while getting an amazing education!"

"If you enjoy learning in a military school fashion, then this is the school for you. You sit behind a table for 9 hours a day writing outlines from a textbook, no talking, no phones, no getting up, nobody standing in front of you to teach you, being belittled by the 2 instructors, being laughed at for asking questions, being sat in a corner facing the wall for stating your opinion, being threatened for saying anything negative about the school, being forced to give a 5 star review before you can graduate, getting your money basically stolen. There are many great schools around the area, save yourself for a school that actually cares for their students and their success"
