I took my two daughters in last week and they were treated very well by the staff and students- had hilites for both and they did a great job. I have had it done by professionals in the past and paid a lot more- no more- will be back. Jane E.

I've been a nurse for over 15 years and wanted to take a huge career leap into the world of skin care. So I chose Fashion Focus Hair Academy's Skin Care Program, a 260 hour course, to obtain a Facial Specialist license. Deb Enslow, my instructor, and everyone at FF were wonderful and I had much fun learning all things skin. I got out of FF what I put in, and that was a lot!! I'm now a successful clinical aesthetician working for a very busy skin care office and am loving it, thanks to FF. Highly recommend. Be motivated!

I moved down to Florida with a license from New York and do do some extra hours at Fashion Focus- what a nice environment. All the staff were helpful and the students had a great attitude.It turned a a painful process into a great experience. Love the Pivot Point system that they teach. I even learned a few things about color. LE

Fashion Focus was more than i could of hoped for. I learned how theres way more to being a stylist than cutting, coloring, and shampoo. I feel Fashion Focus helped me become a better person in and out of the salon, which i am forever grateful. The people and staff make you feel like family. Everyone was helpful and i was never left to wonder or have any unanswered question. This to me makes Fashion Focus the best by far.

I transfered to the school from a local public vocational school. what a great difference in the educational quality. I am now actually learning something. Within 1 month I learned more than I did in the 5 months I spent there at the other school.

I am a Spa owner in Bradenton and hired a graduate from the facial program from Fashion Focus Hair Academy. I have been in the industry for many years and I am very impressed with the knowledge and skill level the employee came to me with. I have hired other staff from various schools and I like what I see in her education and training. Would reccomend this school.

I have just completed a great of education at the school. Have started to work after passing the boards the first time. I really have great things to say about the great education and caring staff that assisted me in being salon ready. My employer told me that he hired me because I attended Fashion Focus. I feel very comfortable knowing that I will be working a a great industry with many rewards.

I enjoyed my time getting services for myself and daughter. The students really did seem to care and make us comfortable and did a nice job. I have already referred a few friends and they too have been pleased.

I graduated from the school a few months ago and had a great experience at the school for Cosmetology. I live in Port Charlotte, Fl and once the few salons I was looking for to work at found out I had attended FFHA, they both wanted me to come to work for them. They had heard about the school over the years and had positive things to say about it. I am pleased with my education and feel that I am salon ready for the industry, Pivot Point was a great educational program.

I attended the facial program in 2011. I had checked out a few other schools in the area ( Sarasota and Bradenton) but I am happy to say for the price and quality education I really enjoyed my experience there. I also learned some paramedical techniques that the other school wanted to charge an arm and a leg for. I am happily employed in a great spa and starting to build my client base. I would highly recommend Fashion Focus.
