I am a new advanced esthetics instructor here at Milan Institute Sparks and I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s extremely refreshing to be surrounded by other instructors who are passionate about what they are teaching. Jackie, Jen, JohnMark, Ari, Ashley and Cynthia have all welcomed me with open arms, each sharing their talents and kindness. Our manager Angie Bernardy is a great leader. She makes sure that we have everything that we need and is also a wonderful motivator. The campus is clean, fully stocked, fun and you can see ‘thoughtfulness’ in every nook and cranny. I’m happy to be part of the team! Mersella

I came in and got a facial with Camille, and it was exactly what i needed. I was welcomed into the space with so much enthusiasm and warmth and was immediately relaxed as soon as i laid down on the bed. All the massage aspects were wonderful and camille has a great touch and personality. Camille checked in multiple times to ensure that i was comfortable and relaxed. I was educated thoroughly when I had questions about the steps we were on during the facial and I left feeling amazing and more knowledgeable than when I walked in. An absolute 10/10 experience!

During my time at Milan, Ms. Divonn Davis was a teacher who pushed me to be more proactive in my learning. She has a direct teaching style that can be tough, especially if you're not used to speaking up, but I appreciated that she encouraged us to take initiative and communicate when we needed help. While her class could be challenging at times, I felt that she was always willing to support those who made the effort to engage. Her approach helped me develop both the technical skills and the confidence to advocate for myself in the future, which I'm grateful for. Overall, I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn from her and for the growth I experienced in her class.
