To the ones searching for a cosmetology school—— I Attended and graduated school here , I didn’t realize how much I actually learned at this school until I graduated. Beauty school is supposed to teach you mostly the basic because that itself takes a while to learn. But I got a LOT of experience with foiling and color here I have great education and experience on toning for the most part. The teachers for esthetics and nails also went out of their way to educate me and make sure I was included in things because they knew I made a point that I wanted to practice everything under my license, and for that I also have experience in everything. And Mrs Walton is my nail tech, teacher and friend to this day. As well as my other teachers I am still very grateful for the teachers I had and while not everything was perfect there are flaws at EVERY school I can promise you that but they did do their best and from what I can see crave is only improving and moving up in the industry and is the better of the cosmetology schools in the area. Beauty school is not easy, it’s challenging. People ask me if I recommend crave, and I do.
