I cannot express my gratitude towards the instructors and staff at Avalon. I graduated a couple of months ago and I can assure you, the instructors give you the tools you need to succeed. However, do not expect to come to this school and be given everything without working hard. This is not high school, this is a school where you are building your skills to become a licensed cosmetologist. That means working hard, asking questions, practice any time you can and communicating about any concerns you have with instructors right away. I was lucky enough to work with every single teacher and I cannot stress enough how much knowledge each one of them have. Briana during stage one built my skills to be able to perform at my best during the student floor. Maryann and Yvette then refined my skills as I entered the student floor, they work with you not for you and this is an industry that you have to have the drive to do your best and succeed! Robert and Dan along with Chelsie shaped and refined my skills before graduation and because of all of them I was able to perform an average of 40-45 services per month and once licensed I am able to book myself(working on my own) with at least 2 months in advanced! Avalon was the best decision I made and I will be forever grateful towards my instructors. Plus Becky and Adam were always a great support as directors! Remember beauty school is how hard you work to be the best and all the instructors made this possible!!
