I recently graduated and am so grateful to have gone to this school. My goal is to become a redken color artist & I now feel like I have the tools and career to do so! I strongly recommend this school to anyone entering this industry! I've received all the tools needed to succeed and more! I've built so many relationships, made so many friendships & made something of myself. The students are taught well to a point where we're confident very quickly which is sometimes hard to achieve. I'd choose this school again if I could.

TSPA is the place to be!! As a recent graduate from the school I just wanted to share how my experience was. Although going to school and working at the same time is hard, TSPA was always a positive place for me. The educators support is terrific! On your hardest days there's always someone who cares about your education and someone who will push you to keep going! TSPA brought so many incredible friendships and mentors into my life and I will always be thankful for my journey! If you're considering going to cosmetology school TSPA is the best choice!
