Artistic Nails & Beauty Academy

While I initially faced challenges during the required skin care portion of the course, Mrs. Mina was an exceptional educator. She demonstrated remarkable patience and expertise, walking the class through every step. For students like myself, who were more reserved or shy, Mrs. Mina made a specific effort to create a comfortable and supportive environment, ensuring I grasped all the fundamental concepts thoroughly. ​The nail course, the primary reason for my enrollment, was led by the truly inspiring Mrs. Mel. Initially, I felt nervous about my abilities, but Mrs. Mel immediately created a welcoming atmosphere, building my confidence and pushing me to achieve my best. Mrs. Mel consistently encouraged participation in industry events. Despite my initial hesitation, her strong encouragement led me to enter and win two nail art competitions. This level of support was pivotal in my growth.The hands-on learning environment was great. I was able to transition from practice to working confidently with real clients, a testament to the practical skills taught.Mrs. Mel made the learning process enjoyable and dynamic; the class was so engaging that I never wanted to miss a day.​I particularly valued the curriculum's emphasis on hands-on learning and practical application over just textbook work. The frequent demonstrations taught by Mrs. Mel were informative and inspiring. While every learning environment has its minor distractions, the instructors ensured we maintained focus and continued our studies without disruption.​I am so confident in the quality of education here that I am excited to enroll my own daughter next year, knowing she will receive excellent instruction and be prepared for a successful career.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I want to take a moment to recognize Ms. Minna, my esthetics instructor at Artistic Nail & Beauty Academy in Lakeland. She is truly the best teacher there. Ms. Minna always shows up for her students, goes above and beyond to make sure we understand the material, and genuinely cares about our growth and success. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and it shows in the way she teaches. She doesn’t just teach to pass a test she teaches real-world knowledge that builds confidence and prepares you for your career. I am so grateful to be learning from her and highly recommend her to anyone pursuing esthetics. She is an absolute gem.

Mrs. Minna was the best. Even though I didn't get to stay in her class very long due to my time was up in what she was teaching. She still continues to teach if I call her with question. She is really an amazing teacher and person as a whole. She also very dedicated to all her students to make sure they are taught the proper way. If I had to grade her I would give her 110℅ or the A++ . She really makes u enjoy skin.....

As a new student, from day one I felt truly welcomed in the esthetician program. Ms. Katie put her trust in me by allowing me to perform services and guided me every step of the way, even when I didn’t know exactly what I was doing yet. She was patient, supportive, and always willing to help, which made a huge difference in my confidence and learning experience. I’m grateful to be part of a program where instructors genuinely care about their students’ growth.
