Great Job! Very satisfying! I've grown from being a "rookie" with make up to almost like professional artist, gained necessary knowledge, experience and confidence. The teachers are amazing, very helpful and kind. And of course Nina is just a sweetheart, she gives lots of attention to every student in the studio and always there with advice and help. Thank you.:)
- Katia A.

When I decided to start career as a makeup artist I was looking for a makeup school which wouldn't be not so expensive and teachers would be good. I found Nina MUA makeup classes! I chose an intensive makeup program for beginners. It was so interesting! The director of this school is Nina, she is amazing:) She always can help you in any questions! Also two others teachers Jezz and Mariana are professionals!  I have not taken hairstyle class yet but I will! Thank you for great time! 
P.S. Also they have bonus class on Friday. I was once. It is really good opportunity to practice in a professional studio!
