I have just graduated from Fashion Focus and I feel that I had received a very good foundation at the school. I have had 3 job offers in my first week after passing my state boards. In all of the places where I was offered a position the salon owners said that they were offering me a position due to the fact that I had attended the school and they know from prior graduates that they were salon ready- I felt that way also! I am happy to have attended the school.

I have looked at schools on the west coast of Florida (about 5 of them). Fashion Focus most impressed me with the Pivot Point education program and all of the support materials that come with the kit including internet access for the students in order to do research at home. I found my school!

I think that Fashion Focus is an excellent school. The last time I had my hair cut and colored, I received 3 compliments after I left the school. All of my treatments-hair-facials and a queen for a day service have been effective and economical. The students are well trained and as they graduate I find new students who are very consistent in the service applications. I use to get my treatments on St. Armands circle and in town and now I only come to Fashion Focus. I have also sent others including my sone and they have all been pleased with the finish service.The staff is also excellent. You may quote me since I am a writer with a column about the spa business.

I am looking at schools in the area and have checked out other locations. I am very impressed with the Pivot Point system and all of the really nice technical manuals that come with the kit and also that the program has added and on line feature for the students. I think I have found my school.

I have been going for years so have had many different students. Have always had a good experience at the school. Would love to see them get ahead of the curve and start using organic hair products.

I transferred from another local school in Bradenton and what a difference. I am now really enjoying my training. The Pivot Point system is number 1 and we now have access to an internet program through Pivot Point which means I have access to my education 24/7.

I just realized that I can write a review on super pages. I went ti school 3 years ago an attended FFHA. What great preparation the school gave me. I was doing things in the salon as a new graduate and my work was equal to others with experience. The Pivot Point was tremendous and I still use the reference books on occasion.

I am looking at schools in the Bradenton- Sarasota. Went to three of them and was most impressed with Fashion Focus- for the price and what the student receives educationally I feel this is the best. I really liked the limited number of students they take per class and all of the Pivot Point technical manuals we receive in our kit was impressive. No other schools offer this. Also they are having a new on-line educational access for students for extra research when I am not in school. This will be my choice. I also stayed around and spoke with current students and they all seem very pleased with their education. Stephanie B
