  • Been a stylists 12 years…learned SO much I didn’t know

    I have been in the industry for over 12 years and I learned so much I didn’t know. I also had to unlearn things that are to this day not being taught correctly. Elaine knows how to present the information in a way that is easy to follow and understand. She is also an extremely relatable and caring person who is actually invested in the success of those she teaches. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.
