Learn what you want, when you want,
in a unique, private studio with professional models.

*FREE PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP KIT ($2000 Value)
Do you need a flexible schedule?
Does your budget restrict you from taking a 3-6 month makeup program? (Lessons starting at $350)
Or do you just prefer the extra attention that a one-on-one program allows.
*FREE ONLINE PORTFOLIO ($1500 Value)
Build your portfolio as you work: Anyone that tells you, you don’t need a portfolio is saying that because they can’t offer you one. A portfolio is vital to getting hired, building your Instagram and social networking, and starting your professional career. Why? How else can potential employers know who they are hiring if you don’t have a portfolio.

What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, we will first work to see if our school is a good fit for the new student. Once we have established the fit, we customize the curriculum to the experience and goals of our new student. At that time we establish a cost and schedule that fits our students budget and busy schedule.
