I enrolled into the esthetician program here at Dorsey back in January. After a few hurdles, I started my program at the beginning of April! As a full time MUA I was looking to get my license to further myself as a business owner and a professional. As the program began I was strictly looking to “get in and get out” and pass state boards. It was until Mrs. Tonia acquired our class and we ACTUALLY started learning about what it means to be an esthetician. Now I am looking into services that I never even thought about adding as a professional and having completed confidence in my knowledge to pass state boards. I’m not sure if you can request an instructor but I was say at least try for Mrs. Burns. She’s so knowledgeable, witty, and fun but also is about her business so be ready to learn and put in the work.

I'm currently halfway through my esthetician program at Dorsey. To be completely honest, it was rough in the beginning. I felt like my teacher didn't care and I had to teach myself the material. But about 2-3 months in she left and we got a new teacher, Mrs. Burns. She has made this program extremely fulfilling and educational! I honestly feel I am getting a better education than some of my peers that went to Aveda based on what they've told me. Mrs. Burns goes above and beyond. She's extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of esthetics, plus she customizes our education based on where we need more help, and where we want to learn more. She brings in her own equipment to show us advanced modalities and always makes sure we have enough products by bringing her own in when the school doesn't supply it/ran out. We are about to begin state board prep and I am confident I will pass thanks to Mrs. Burns! So Dorsey isn't the most prestigious school, but the staff is what makes it amazing (Mrs. Amal is another great teacher!)

I have had an amazing experience at Dorsey! The staff is amazing! I attended the Medical Assistant program. I would love to give a shoutout to Ms. Sadafi & Ms. Brown! 🥰 🙌🏼 These two ladies go the extra mile to make sure their students have the full understanding of what they are teaching! They are well structured I could have not asked for better teachers! They are loving and very supportive!
