The admissions team at Cortiva Institute in St. Petersburg, FL, is AMAZING!!! Beginning with Ada Velazquez, she made the entire information gathering and enrollment process as easy as possible!! Our family appreciates the small class sizes at Cortiva and the personal attention to support each student in the programs. I am very excited for my daughter as she begins her educational journey with Cortiva. I am confident this is an environment where she can succeed, preparing her for a positive and productive professional future!! New Update: October 17, 2025 I received a facial and a "bacial" from Julia Heinzen and lash extensions from Emma Miller. Both students provided amazing experiences!! The facial and bacial were very relaxing and a perfect way to relax while feeling pampered. And, this is the first time I ever tried lashes. I wanted them to look VERY natural and that is exactly what Emma gave me. I'm thrilled! Both Julia & Emma were very friendly & provided great customer service. They can count on me to be a regular customer. Thank you, again!!

I received my very first facial today by Rose! She is very sweet, gentle and professional. I am very impressed by her technique and perfection with determining the best products to use for my face. I have trouble with choosing the best products for my face usually, however today is the best my skin has ever felt! I will definitely be returning!
