There are not enough stars for my experience. Some friends and I had updo's for prom last week. They were a bif hit. Many, many compliments from other friends that evening of prom- we all felt great! Will be back for other services. What a bunch of talented students. Leslie M

Had my color done two days ago and I am very pleased. They really took good care of me. What a nice experience. I have found very few salons that I have been to that treated so well and the results were perfect Pam M

I just completed my training at Fashion Focus. I was extremely happy with the education and hands on experiences I received. I had a friend who went to the Florida College of natural Health and we compared notes. She was blown away with what I received educationally versus what she obtained. What upset her the most was how much she paid for her program their and what I did at Fashion Focus and I even learned Mircodermabrasion and Facial Sculpting as part of my coursework. I would highly reccomend FFHA! SM

Great job on my hi-lo lites last week! Received a ton of compliments. They do as good a job as a good salon just takes longer- but the price is right. I will be back. SJ

I own a salon and spa in Arcadia and have had business for 13 years. I hired one of the schools graduates about 6 months ago and I was very impressed that the student who is now working for me came out with such great preparation. Not only in her skill level but working with customers and knowing how to build a clients and obtain referrals from existing customers (very important). In talking with her she said that this was part of hr education.I have never had someone come to work for me with type of great preparation. JB.

I own a salon in Venice Florida. Hired one of the schools grad 3 months ago. I tell you that she was well prepared for the business. There have been other young people who I have hired over the years and they do not hold a candle to how prepared she is. Very impressed with her training. In the future I will see if I can obtain more grads from Fashion Focus.

I went to the school and graduated in 2011. I was pleasantly surprised by what I learned when I went into the Cosmetology field in a salon in Bradenton. There were some experienced staff and a few new hairdressers. The training I received at Fashion Focus really prepared me for the real world.It seems that I am flying when it comes to working with customers and my retention of customers is high compared to other staff at the salon. The schools salon success program really gave me the additional knowledge that set me apart from some of the others- I would highly recommend FFHA!! signed a happy grad.

I have discovered and fun place to go to get my hair and skin care needs taken care of. Had a great time - all the students have a great attitude and made my visit enjoyable. Have already told 2 of my friends. I am going to use the school 3 card referral program and receive a complimentary facial. Sonya J

Great experience in obtaining my education.I look at how others I work with and I feel that I came out of school light years ahead of other new Cosmetology students from thter programs. I would always recommend Fashion Focus to any one who ask. TJ

Had a perfect color service today. Many compliments from family. Feel great about how it came out. I am going back to the same student for a repeat service for my next service. Might get a facial at the same visit. LG

I have been going there for many many years and would recommend this salon. Not only are the students knowledgable ,but instructors are very visable and assist when needed.

Started class 1 month ago and transferred from a local vo-tech program. What a great difference in the education. I learned more in 2 weeks than my entire 300 plus hours at the public school. Love the small classes and a lot of one on one supervision. I feel that I am going to come out this school really prepared. DG

I RECENTLY COMPLETED MY COSMETOLOGY EDUCATION AT THIS SCHOOL. I DID NOT REALIZE HOW GOOD THE EDUCATION WAS UNTIL I WENT TO WORK IN A SALON WITH OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY. I WAS BLOWN AWAY THAT MY PREPARATION AT FASHION FOCUS-WOW! EVEN SOME BASIC THINGS LIKE COLOR FORMULATION WERE PRETTY INADEQUATE FROM SOME THE THE NEW STAFF THERE. TP

Had a great experience in just completing the facial program. I almost went to another school locally who wanted $20,000 to get an AA degree in skin care and have a Florida license to practice. I found Fashion Focus to be a very good educational experience and they included some para-medical training along with the course and what a big difference in price- I would recco. FFHA hands down.

I just completed this program and obtained a Nail license. I would recomend this program. Classes are small and lots of one on one instruction. I had 4 interrviews and they all wanted me to work for them. The salon owners had heard about this school and new what kind of students they produce. That opened the door for me. Thanks FFHA!!!
