I attended MetrOasis for my esthetician training this past winter. 
I had originally enrolled in @%#&!*(#.  The students graduate from there with a book and a lab coat. 

I know two students who have graduated from there in the past year that failed the state board twice, and still do not feel prepared going back for the third time.
I decided to come to MetrOasis instead, after a conversation with one of @%#&!*(#'s students. 
She told me that she got a very poor education, basically just what she gained from the book, and that she wished she had gone to MetrOasis instead. 
 
So I looked at MetrOasis on-line, came for an interview and was accepted.  (Thank you, God!!). 
Once there, I quickly realized that I was being taught by the VERY best. 
Sigel and Sue were as concerned about my success as I was. 

They taught me, encouraged me, supported me, and educated me far beyond just esthetics. 
I learned business strategies, methods of communication, and methods of client retention.
They answered my many questions, and spurred me on to learn more than just the basics.
I learned what was in the book, but also learned from Sigel and Sue's life experiences.

I was given practical reviews for the state board test, as well as numerous mock state board written exams. 
My education will continue after our state board exams, for as long as I like. 

When I graduated, I had bags and cases loaded with products, tools, brushes, bowls, and all the disposables I could possibly need to get started. 
I left with a multi-purpose machine (steamer, high frequency, electric brush, vacuum, sprayer, galvanic and iontophoreses) and felt very qualified to use it, long before I graduated.  
 
When I took the state board exam in April 2007, I felt as confident and prepared as I possibly could have been. I heard horror stories about the other schools. 

There were several people there who were repeating the exam, including at least one instructor. 
One student told me that whenever she had a question, her instructors would tell her either that they did not know the answer, or did not have time to answer her question.
I overheard multiple wrong answers during my practical exam, and it was obvious that I was the best prepared there. 

Once again, thanks to Sigel and Sue. 
 
I believe the proof of the success of MetrOasis, and Sigel and Sue, lies in my test scores. 
In a state where the failure rate for esthetician state boards is alarmingly high, I scored 93 % on the written exam, 98 % on one practical, and 99% on the other three practicals. 
 
I give most of the credit of that to Sigel and Sue.  Yes, I studied hard.  Yes, I practiced over and over. 
But without their enthusiasm, ongoing support and encouragement, it would have been much more difficult, and not nearly as much fun. 
 
I cannot thank them enough. 
 
Do not even think of going to school anywhere else if you want to succeed in this business.
NO ONE ELSE will give you what MetrOasis gives you:  A wonderful education, preparation for the life ahead, and a solid foundation for your new career.
 
I truly love these people.
