TESTIMONIALS
Best Decision I Ever Made
I knew nothing about Board Certification until one of my coworkers told me about it. We studied hard for 6 months and became certified in 2013. My color game has changed! I was taught so much more than I ever learned in Cosmetology Training!
Stacy Peery
Increased Color Sales by 30%
I was a busy stylist before I became Board Certified in 2007, and my color services increased by 30% during that following year. Many cosmetologists can create beautiful hair color. Board Certified Haircolorists know how to approach every hair color disaster, plus what probably caused it!
Mary Petillo
I Proved Myself Wrong
I almost quit hair altogether. It was 3 years later when I heard about Board Certification, and I knew this was it. My chance to prove to myself, that I could learn color. My color certification is a reminder of where I came from and it’s proof that anyone can learn anything.
