I’m a recent graduate of Spectrum’s Advanced Hybrid Program! The hybrid program is really great for folks who are still working or have kiddos at home. Much of the theory is done at home, with hands on being done on campus.I highly recommend staying on top of your theory!! Though the program is part-time, it is still very involved! Unlike other schools, which kind of throw the info at you and never check in, instructors at Spectrum take a lot of concern making sure you study and understand the technology well!Alyna, my instructor, was so knowledgeable, compassionate and involved! I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! That girl knows her sh*t! If you plan on continuing your career in esthetics, I highly recommend going to Spectrum.

If I could give this school 1000 stars, I would! As a student from the basic and advanced program I can definitely say my experience here is amazing. I felt so cared for from all of the instructors and staff. I had originally transferred from another school that had horrible education and happened to find Spectrum. I took a tour of the school and knew this was the school for me. I attended half way through the basic esthetics program and was immediately welcomed by Mary (the owner) and my instructor Kathleen. I could probably write a whole essay on how much I love Kathleen, she is a complete sweetheart and was very patient with me throughout my whole program. I decided to sign up for the advanced program right away. I quickly grew an amazing connection with all of my classmates which then grew into a sister like bond. The education and knowledge from all the educators is phenomenal and you truly get every thing you need to succeed. You get beautiful head shots and even a nice little video of yourself to show off a couple treatments you love. You get to have a one on one mock interview which truly set you up for success with none other than the amazing Taylor Ford. I cannot thank this school enough for everything it’s given me. Special shout-out to Selisha, Alyna and Rachel for always being so informative, patient, motivating and honestly being like second moms to all of us. And can’t forget about Carol our beautiful and attentive client coordinator. If you’re thinking of attending this school DO IT, you will not regret it 😁
