I am currently a student at Penrose Academy. I am so passionate and proud to be a student here. Our educators and the staff are absolutely amazing. There are so many reasons to list on why I chose this school over the 6 others I had toured as well. The owner, Jill, is absolutely amazing at what she does. I love that we have assemblies every Thursday. Most of the time we have amazing guest speakers, and almost every week we are forced to think about of future and to prep for our career. I love that one of the main focuses is "becoming a better version of yourself."
There are also other opportunities for you to get involved that they just don't offer at other schools. (ie. student council, contests, Dream team, etc) I also love that it is a private academy. Which means, they do not accept everyone. They have strict guidelines on attendance and GPA, which I can really appreciate. This school holds it's students accountable and really prepares us to be professional and successful employees of the beauty industry.
Our location is absolutely PERFECT. Not to mention the school itself is absolutely beautiful! When I'm there I feel like I'm in a professional salon. I've toured some other schools and I must say this is the most professional, beautiful, and clean facility that I have seen.
Now to just touch base on the products we use. I love Bumble and Bumble. The Esthetician's in training use skin medica and Dermalogica. All amazing, top of the line products. We learn Pivot Pointe International and I'm extremely comfortable in the way I have been taught.
I love that we have loyal guests that consistently return to our salon. It just goes to show how great of a job that they have done in constantly providing great customer service and great services that the guests will constantly rebook and return to us. Thank you Penrose. I seriously couldn't be more proud and thrilled to be a student at your wonderful facility.
