34% MORE Estheticians are going to be needed in the next 8 years!








Our Esthetics program takes about 10 1/2 weeks to complete.
It is a difficult program.

There are easier programs, but they have horrible pass rates and a very low placement rate as well.


Basically you have a choice of a couple of other schools. One is about the same price, but they don't
provide you with a student kit, products, or a machine.
Also they have a not-so-great state board exam pass rate,
and and even worse job placement rate.

Think I'm kidding?
Ask them!

Check out the search engines to see their programs.

Hmmmmm not so great huh? We know!


This is a GREAT time to get involved in this fun,
exciting,
satisfying,
and profitable business!

How do I start?
1. Start - HERE - by taking our online entrance exam.
2. Then e-mail your score and pass code to us.
3. Then call (907) 276-4110 and schedule your interview.
4. Figure out your financing. THIS is a great place to start.



? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Did you know that most esthetics schools in Alaska have a severe lack of equipment for you to train on?

Did you know, that many esthetics schools in Alaska provide you with a text book... That's it!
(The really advanced ones also give you a workbook. WOW!)

Do you really want to sit around on a couch reading your text book for thousands of dollars,
just to flunk the state board exam over and over?


     1. Before you sign up for any program, ask to see the equipment you will be training on.
         Do they even have any?


     2. Ask to see their pass/fail stats. (Yes, they DO have them, the board of barbers and hairdressers
         provides them!)


     3. Ask to see their placement rates. (Yes, they DO have them, the Commission on PostSecondary Education
         can provide them for you if the school refuses to.)


     4. Ask to see the student kit they provide. Do they even have one?

     5. Ask to see the facial machine they include with their program. WHAT?
         They don't do that? (I know!)


     6. Check their price and see what you REALLY get for your money?

     7. Call a couple places you're interested in working and see who THEY would suggest!





Mr. Couch.


Mr. Franz Sigel Shroy
In some schools THIS (or a chair) will be your instructor.
You will sit here and teach yourself esthetics out of the
text book. When you DO have an instructor, they will
stop teaching you whenever a "walk-in" client comes in.
(This is illegal!)



You won't train on beauty equipment, because they don't
have any. (Think I'm kidding? ASK to see what you'll
train on.)



You won't get to keep any equipment as part of your
student kit. (ASK to see the equipment you keep!)



You will either work only on each other or on a manikin instead of working on clients. Most schools have a very
limited esthetics clientele.

They have a chair, a table, and... uh...?

So do you want to pay for a REALLY expensive couch
rental for a couple of months...
or do you want to really learn the
art and science of esthetics?

At MetrOasis®, Sigel and Sue will be your instructors.


Sigel is a licensed hairdresser, a licensed esthetician, and a licensed instructor and has done platform work and advanced classes in
Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada.

Sigel is also a an NCEA member, and holds a level 3 NCFE in the U.K., a beauty technician diploma
(with distinction) in makeup and skin care from
Stonebridge College, in England.

Sigel also received training from Emmy Award winner Dina Ousley
in airbrush makeup in Hollywood.

Sigel has also developed the formulations for several hair
care and skin care product lines.

We have a regular theory class once a day,
Tuesdays through Fridays,
and individualized classes on various other days
where we teach you different techiques and how to use various
beauty machines.

Sigel has been in the beauty industry since 1979
and will teach you multi-function machines,
ultrasonic deconstruction and sonophoresis,
microcurrent, galvanic iontophoresis and disincrustation,
RF, electrolysis, digital microscope, photon therapy and photorejuvenation, diamond microdermabrasion, and more.

Sigel has formulated numerous products for several hair care
and skin care lines, travels internationally to bring you the
best and most effective techniques and products available and
can teach you techniques the other schools haven't even heard of!






Excellence in Esthetic Training
by tammymeans


We have been very pleased with the quality of training of the Metroasis estheticians.
Their students are fully prepared and ready to hit the ground running when they graduate.


"Metroasis is our school of choice when hiring estheticians at our Medical Spa"

and I will highly recommend this school and the quality of their training to anyone.

"Best School In Alaska!"

I love shopping!!!!!! For clothing, shoes, and…….schools.. I am in beauty business for over 22 years. Throughout the years practicing in this field I have graduated from BEST beauty schools in Soviet Union, Russia, Ukraine, Spain, France and Alaska! And yes, before I did contact the Metroasis Beauty School I did my homework. I found this place a very professional, friendly, fun, positive and very advanced. The knowledge and skills our instructors helped us to acquire were way more than basic state requirements. Sue and Sigel are very dedicated experts, they always on top of new technology and market. I felt honored to be around these people. They not just taught me certain skills but became my mentors as well. If you know what you want and you are motivated to become a good beauty professional, this school is the BEST place in Alaska! They provided BEST tools and equipment you can find on Market for your training and to start new business, because you are taking it all with you after graduating! I still love my facial machine and would love to order more like that when will be expending my business! Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions and Good luck!

"I Love This School!"  
 

12 yrs ago, I applied & was accepted into cosmetology school here in Anchorage. However, life provided me from attending that year. At 31, I decided to follow my dream & attended The Salon Professional Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. TSPA is a Redken school. The school was huge, had so many students that I never met all of them, & it was coldly corporate. Not only these things, but I spent two months in a classroom without interface with clients or most of the staff. On top of all of that, I missed Alaska & my family. After two months with Redken, I dropped out & moved back to Anchorage. I was desperate to finish school, but had low hopes of finding a school that would meet the standards I had for a school I would enjoy attending. I believed that, as many people do, there simply would not be anything worthy in the state. I visited every beauty school in Anchorage.

Metroasis was the last school I found & walked into. It was like a breath of fresh air compared to the other schools. It was a cold December morning 5 days after I had arrived in town. I walked in at 9 am & was greeted by an esthetician student with a smile. Just the entrance way to the salon was beautiful in greens & antiques. Mirrors reflected the light, making the small area bright & inviting. Flowers trailed over the arch way that lead into the salon floor & a water fountain bubbled in the background. The student let me know that Sue was teaching class, but there was a website listed on the card she handed me. After taking the entrance exam online, I could email my score to them for an interview. Sue called me later that day to set up an interview! All the other schools I had visited treated me like a boring complication in their world. Sue & Sigel both came across as very creative people who love what they do. The interview was informative & enjoyable! I was so happy with them, I wrote them the check to hold my spot that day!

I had to wait 3 1/5 months to get back into school, but it was worth it! While I waited to attend the school, I would come in for services by other students. Each & every visit confirmed my opinion of the school. Within a month of starting at Metroasis, I was confident that I had learned more in those 4 weeks than I had in the 8 I had attended at Redken. I was already doing customized color formulations for clients instead of just straight out of the tube color. The haircutting techniques were so much more precise than what I had previously learned that I was floored by it. At Metroasis, we have classes at least four times a week. Each project or client we have is given individualized attention from one or both of our instructors. In addition, we are given the skills & opportunities to improve our communication skills, our customer service skills, & are given the opportunities to work hard to reach our goals. This industry is not about having your hand held as you lightly tread the path of career & success. It's about taking responsibility for yourself, your education, & your future.

At Metroasis, they help you to do that by including classes on how to promote yourself & your business, how to put together advertising materials, & to help you think for yourself. I am closing in on my graduation date & I have to say that I'ma little sad that I have to leave. Sue & Sigel have been supportive & understanding throughout the time I've been with them & I will miss them. I won't be able to go with them to Paris this spring, but I hope to make the trip next fall or winter. What fun! As for the Fire & Ice Cafe next door that is run by their creative daughter Aly, who has started college this fall, I will miss her quiet smiles & inventive ideas. I will miss ordering my Americano & having it show up perfect without having to tell her how to make it. And maybe, just maybe, I'll miss the homemade desserts I splurge on a little too often! To The Shroys, Thank you so much for what you do! (from Google)

"An awesome dream come true!"
     ‎ 
I have had the best year of my adult life at MetrOasis! I am a mother of 4 and just wanted a professional career for myself and my family. I wanted my choice of school to be a good investment. I chose very well! I have just graduated from the school with outstanding knowledge of cosmetology. This school is only for you if you are looking to learn all you can from hands on training and the 2 instructors that know so much and has training in just about all areas of cosmetology and esthetics.

They want you to succeed and encourages you everyday in that path. I worked one on one with the BEST clients EVER! We were put on the floor when we were ready and I loved the self pace atmosphere I was in. It is the same for the esthetics program as well. I looked forward to school everday, wondering what new technique I was going to learn. So much more then reading out of the text books. When I visited other schools in the city, they felt cold, plain white hospital feeling and the people were not friendly at all. When I walked in to MetrOasis I had a chance to sit down with Sue and Sigel over coffee from the cafe' next door and talk about the school and ask all the questions I wanted. I have read a review on this page and I am sorry she had a bad experience but I bet you 10 to one that she received a great service and was treated VERY well.

These are the things that Sigel and Sue teach... Customer service, LSCPA the kind you will not get at the other schools. We write notes down on all our customers after ALL services are done so we can stay on top of our clients needs. I love my school and I couldn't imagine any other place I would want to be at more than MetrOasis. A crazy city get a way! (from Google)

"MetrOasis is amazing!"
     
As a graduate of Metroasis Advanced Training Center, I am pleased to say that the training I received there was amazing. My decision to train at Metroasis was easy, not only had I received recommendations from respected professionals in the esthetic industry, I also researched and visited other local schools including Metroasis Advanced Training Center only to reaffirm that this school was undeniably second to none. Metroasis was the only school I visited that made me feel welcome and comfortable by not only the staff but the students as well. As previously stated, my decision on where I wanted to receive my career training was evident.

I was trained in providing excellent customer service with the importance of learning and following local, state and federal guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our clients, my peers and myself. I received and was trained on state of the art esthetic equiptment and immersed in the latest procedures in the esthetic industry. I had daily theory with my instructors that was an essential factor in my training. I was shown by my skilled instuctors how to perform all procedures and services with confidence and accuracy and how to market and advertise my newly acquired skills. I was tested throughout my training to ensure the knowledge and training I was receiving was being retained.

In turn, I graduated from Metroasis confident that I had received all of the essential training and much, much more needed to make a major impact in the health and beauty industry. Furthermore, as a student of Metroasis I have the opportunity to continue my studies with Metroasis on an international level which is impressive in itself. Needless to say, I am grateful to have been one of the lucky ones to receive my training from Metroasis and am forever grateful. (from Google)

"The Best!"

I have graduated from the Hair program at Metroasis and am currently in the Esthetics program. Metroasis is a wonderful school owned by wonderful people. The training and experience here is all hands on - we learn by working on you. The first facial clients I had all knew I was a beginner and accepted that. We actually work on fellow students before working on a salon client. The first thing they teach us is customer service - how can we make you more comfortable and meet your needs. The bad review below sounds more like a personal attack on the Shroys than a review of the service received. All of the students here are exceptional and we truly care about our school and fellow students. My favorite story from a client, a 12 year old girl, told me "you guys are way better than Trendsetters. They only have black and white colors, with a dumb carpet in the waiting area. You cut hair better too, they just whack off the back and ask if its good enough. You guys take sections and make sure its all even." B. Beautiful - don't feel sorry for any of us or all of our other wonderful clients (some for at least a decade), we love it here! (from Google)
.

So... why would you even consider going to another school?

10 things YOU can do for your skin!



Train on the newest technologies in the esthetics industry!



                   





HEADS UP!
(2006)
Stuff you ABSOLUTELY need to
know BEFORE you sign up for
ANY Esthetics program in Alaska!

In (2006) 111 students took the Alaska State Board Esthetics Exam,
but only 39 passed.

This means that 72 didn't pass!
This puts the pass rate for Alaska at 35% while the national average is 63%.


This means that just in 2006,
these students wasted almost half a million dollars...
supporting schools...
that do not teach... 
what their students paid them to teach!



Has it gotten any better?
(2009)


The last report we received (July 24 2009) from the Board of Barbers and Hairdressers states -



State totals including MetrOasis®
36 people passed the practical exam and 5 failed the practical exam.
35 people passed the written exam and 14 people failed the written exam.
This means 87% passed the practical exam.
This also means that 71% passed the written exam.



State totals excluding MetrOasis®
29 passed the practical exam and 5 failed the practical exam.
85% pass rate on practical exam.
29 passed written and 13 failed the written exam.
69% pass rate on written exam.



MetrOasis® only
7 passed the practical exam and 0 failed the practical exam.
100% pass rate on practical exam.
6 passed the written exam and 1 failed the written exam.
85% pass rate on written exam.



So, do you want an 85% pass rate (other schools) on your practical exam or a 100% (MetrOasis®) ?
Do you want a 69% pass rate (other schools) on your written exam or an 85% (MetrOasis®) ?

If you combine the written and the practical exams, the other schools combined have a pass rate of 76%.
The combined written/practical exam pass rate for MetrOasis® is 92.85%

So, if ANY school in Alaska has a better pass rate than this...
Please send it to us so that we can brag about YOU as well.
We've been waiting several years for this report to arrive... but it hasn't... still !


FIND OUT if you are going to be teaching yourself
esthetics or if you are going to have an instructor!


I've heard similar complaints about the other schools AND
especially the apprenticeship programs too!


What do you need to know about going to our school, or any school in the beauty industry?
We offer vocational training, which means that we offer training that prepares you for a job.
So, before you do anything else, you should contact a couple of salons or spas that you are interested in working for... 
and ask THEM who has the best training in town.

They almost always suggest us. Why? For one reason, they are tired of retraining everyone they hire straight out of school.
Our graduates are ready to start work the day they graduate from our programs.
It could be because we have the best state board pass rate in the state. It could be our 100% placement rate.

Beauty School Reviews

       



It could be our classic European cutting techniques, our Italian hair color training, or it could be our communication training.
It could be the fact that we hand-pick one hairdressing student each month.
We realize that some of the other schools have many more students, but remember we said that we are training you for a job.
We are not a certificate factory that pops out bunches of hairdressing students each month that don't have a clue what they're doing and that salons are afraid to hire.
Our goal? It's simple.
We are looking for future top stylists and future salon owners.
That's it. The fact that we are willing to say this openly seems to irritate some of the other school owners. So what!
We don't take students that can't speak English... because they can't pass the state board exam.
We don't allow drug use, and we expect you to act professionally. Perhaps this is why we have the best state board pass rate in Alaska.
We require an entrance exam and an interview to make sure that you have what it takes to become a success.
We require you to treat yourself and the other students, and our clients with respect.
If are looking for the best training in the state, and you can live with these terms, WE can change YOUR life!
If you can't live with these terms, or if you tend to settle for mediocre, you should pick out another school.

IS MetrOasis® really the best? Yes. We really are.
Just this week I had to document the stats just above. There are the public stats there for everybody to see.




So... This section has been updated now. Everybody happy?

THIS kind of stuff is exactly why I decided to open a school!
Do I seem a little bit contentious regarding the other schools?
Perhaps it is because my first professional communication with one school owner consisted of him sending a student to talk with me
with a very specific message to tell me that I was an idiot, and that I need to learn what I am doing.

Did I?        My school has a MUCH better reputation than yours EVER had!

I went to talk with another school owner and told him I had 12 students waiting to start and that I could
double his income within 8 months. Instead of having an honest conversation with me, he pretended
not to be the owner but said "You tell me your plan and if it's good, then I'll tell the owner"...
Hoping to make me a practical joke for the people standing around.

Oops!

Yet another school owner spoke with me for less than 3 minutes. He closed 3 months later.

So, I tried to work with the other school owners long before I ever opened a school.
Nobody was interested. Now I'm not interested.

It's ON now, boys! What? Where you expecting a cake or something?





Did we mention that we've also had a 100%
placement rate since the year 2000?
(PostSecondary requires that each school maintain a placement roster. WHERE are the grandiose claims
about placement? You know, where your students actually GET jobs?
I didn't see any. If the state requires that EACH school keep
these records, why not share this information with the public?)

If you want to find out this PUBLIC information you can call PostSecondary
at (907) 465-2962 and request this information.

(EACH school must provide this report to the state upon their renewall.)

"Layered Learning Concept"

Our students are so successful because we use the "layered learning concept" where the materials
needed to pass the state board exam, and indeed, to be successful in a salon / spa
are presented several times, several ways, and in several mediums. It works!

Theory - Skill Goals - Clinic Floor - Internet Portal - Individual Study


We have "theory" nearly every day,
which is the book work portion of our program which helps
prepare you for your career and the state board exam.

We also have a "weekly skill goal" which is the hands on teaching portion of our program
which helps prepare you for your career and your real life experience in a salon or spa.
The schedule of skill goals can be seen here.


The "clinic floor" is where our students perform esthetic services for our clients.

We have materials for our students available on the Internet at the top of this page.
Our students are given a password and a log-on name so that they can access this information.

Our students are given study materials that they can study at school, at home, anywhere they like.




We use several educational resources as part of our curriculum.

In our Esthetician program you will also receive and train on your OWN machine


The eight-function facial machine (or similar machine) is part of the esthetician student kit which includes high frequency
(with multi probes),
galvanic (with multi electrodes), spray, herbal spray, lighted magnification loupe, Wood's lamp, and vacuum (multi) functions. 
The student kit also contains manual facial components which include brushes, Pharmagel products, cape, applicators, spatulas, cotton, gloves, paper goods, study center materials, etc.





Students in the Esthetician program will train on of several cutting-edge technology
photon-kinetic-energy machines, which helps
reduce pigment discoloration, reduces telangiectasis,
smooths out wrinkles and reduces pore size. These devices are also highly
effective on acne outbreaks and activate the production of collagen and new skin cells, and improves
skin flexibility while
helping to expel lymphoid toxins and increasing blood circulation.

These Photon Devices utilize
both red and blue LED's.
This machine helps to eliminate wrinkles, stimulates the skin to produce collagen and to regenerate skin cells,

improves the overall health of the skin, and increases the skin's elasticity.

These syngeristic photon devices also help to reduce pigment spots, and chloasma and aids in evening out skin tones.
The blue, limited range (415 nm) LED's penetrate the skin and the light's antibacterial nature attacks the proprionibacterium acne bacteria that causes acne.
The red, limited range (660nm) LED's soothe the skin, eliminate actinic keratoses, and help to reduce painful acne inflammation by stimulating fibroblast proliferation while helping to speed the skin ability to heal itself.

Unlike many other acne lamps, these lights produce no UV light and also help to even out the tone and texture of the skin.
These lights work on most mild to moderate acne cases with a reported 70% to 76% success.

Want clear acne-free skin? Try a couple of our anti-acne
facials with our Photo Rejuvenation equipment!

This is a light, not laser. There is no radiation. Lasers usually have one specific wavelength and use just one color. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
uses many wavelengths which allow us to treat several different conditions "at the speed of light."
We can treat rosacea, broken blood vessels, capillaries, diffuse redness of the face, or "red neck" as well as melasma, age spots,
sun spots, freckles, and general pigmentation unevenness.
There is virtually no down time and the procedure is extremely safe. It is performed while you are wide awake in the salon or school.

No anesthesia is necessary. These light treatments also help produce more collagen deep within the skin, and with just one treatment,
your skin is refreshed, less blotchy, has fewer wrinkles, and smaller pores!
