From beginning to end my experience was exceptional! Greeted warmly when I checked in, the room set up was soothing and clean without feeling sterile and empty. Nicole was amazing, so kind and professional as well as knowledgeable. The instructors oversee treatments in a professional manner. Checking out was easy. Will definitely be coming back!

Got a 60 min PRO skin facial from Adeia, would recommend going to her. She provided a positive environment from the moment I stepped in the door to the second I left. Her techniques that she uses are amazing, when applying the products she uses the right amount of pressure. Not only was Adeia wonderful but the campus was neat and welcoming. Angie was working the front desk when I came in and she assisted me right away. Love everything about this place and would recommend for everyone to pay a visit, whether it’s for a service or looking for a route to get certified quickly:)

The first day at the Institute for the Massage Therapy Program was a great day for me. Angie was on point. She is really good at what she is doing. She and all the other staff, as well as enrolled students, were above and beyond welcoming. I put put at such ease by Angie immediately. I'm not going to lie, I was late !!!! GPS brings up Milan Institute in Reno first. We'll I didn't realize until I got to the Reno location. That said, Angie allowed me a few minutes to take and get grounded and merged me right into where I needed to be so well. I can not say it enough that the staff and other students were extremely friendly and eager to meet us. Each and every staff member made it a piot to come in throughout the day and introduced themselves. There are too many good things to say. The organization of everything is impeccable. There are tech platforms to navigate anything and everything. I was able to do it all right on my phone because, yep, I forgot my laptop, lol! So by the time I got settled in and logged on all my different platforms and met everyone, took a tour, got my supplies, etc. I felt so at ease about what lies ahead. I was a nervous wreck this morning, lol!!!! So thank you to Angie and the staff at Milan Institute of Sparks Nevada. I am looking forward to spending the mext six months with you and going through this journey together.
