Started my beauty school journey in April and Miss Saffron the esthetician instructor does a great job of teaching and making us feel comfortable. She loves to see her students success and pushes us.We need more instructors like her !! The dynamic in her classroom flows and works really well. She’s open to our concerns and treats us as equals. Good job to Milan for picking her to be apart of this school ☺️
