Highly recommend 🫶 Lourdes Vasquez2023-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started the electrolysis class at this school and am amazed at the level of professionalism and education I’m receiving. The instructors go above and beyond to make sure all material is understood. The practical portion is where we work on clients at reduced rates. It’s great hands on experience. Looking forward to enrolling in the laser and esthetician classes next year. Marianne C. Drago2023-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Studied electrology here. The gold standard for electtology. Skin care and aesthetics were just getting started when I graduated. Barry , the owner is a wonderful mentor. Natalie Jimenez2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience at Berkowits, and I can't praise it enough, especially when it comes to their flexibility with scheduling. As a single mother, I needed a program that could accommodate my busy life, and this school exceeded my expectations. The real standout at this school is the amazing teacher, Hilary. She's not just an instructor; she's a guiding light. Hilary's kindness is unparalleled, and she goes above and beyond to understand the unique challenges her students face. Her patience is truly remarkable, and she creates a nurturing environment where everyone feels encouraged and supported. Hilary's teaching style is engaging and effective. She has a wealth of knowledge, and her passion for esthetics shines through in every lesson. Her dedication to her students is truly heartwarming. In addition to Hilary's exceptional teaching, the school itself offers a well-rounded esthetician program. The curriculum is thorough, and the hands-on experience is invaluable. The flexibility with scheduling made it possible for me to pursue my dreams of becoming an esthetician while balancing the responsibilities of motherhood. I can't recommend this Esthetician school and teacher, Hilary, enough. If you're looking for a school that offers both flexibility and exceptional instruction, this is the place to be. Thank you, Hilary, and the entire school, for making my journey into esthetics such a rewarding and positive experience!

So grateful for the quick responses via email and so excited to be training here in laser very soon! Absolutely amazing service! Thank you for everything :) Grace Hernandez2023-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing to take the 600hr esthetics program at Berkowitz was such a life changing and enjoyable experience. The class rooms are kept very clean and great facial equipment. Our instructor Hillary is extremely knowledgeable in her craft and has immense experience, not only within the United States but other countries as well. She makes the classroom a safe space for learning and sharing troubles and concerns. Every week we focus on a topic and take a test which she reviews and helps us with any questions about the material. Her notes are always colorful with detailed drawings. Amongst practicing facials, waxing, and makeup, we have learned hand massages, foot massages, back massages and pressure point massages, which I found beneficial. Besides being an amazing teacher, she has given me supportive career guidance and advice that made huge difference in my experience here. Overall, I would highly suggest this school for people who want to get their esthetics license. Christina Peele2023-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came all the way from nc because Berkowitz was on ncbee list of approved schools. I was nervous and worried. However once I got here and met Barry and Brad, I felt very comfortable. Both instructors are overly competent in the field of hair removal. I learned so much and am so thankful for their patience and competence. I will graduate in a few weeks knowing I had the BEST education in the field.
