Amazing school! I’ve always struggled with your normal school, especially high school so I was hesitant on going to college, so I when I saw my best friend was at MMA and seen all the fun things she would post and talk about, I decided to do some research! Since being at the school i’ve fallen in love with esthetics and even learning. MMA has a great staff and environment, they really take the time to prepare you for state boards and go into depth with teaching. Special shout-out to the Esthetics teacher, Demi, she is the BEST teacher and coach! She went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience and was there to help and listen with anything, as well for my other classmates. I definitely look up to her as a mentor and value her ability to always have an uplifting and positive attitude. I’ve made such great friendships and experiences that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I’ve had a great time at MMA and I feel i’ve learned a lot and i’m excited to start my journey with my esthetics career!

I had a great experience at MMA. The staff are very encouraging and want all the students to do well. The instructors are passionate about their work and are more than willing to help you if you have questions. My favorite part was learning about different makeup looks and how to execute them.

I attended this school for multiple years. The amount of knowledge and skill I acquired here is unmeasurable. The instructors are great at giving constructive criticism and helping to guide you throughout the programs. I originally only wanted to attend for the special effects program but I ended up taking all of the classes. I left the school feeling confident in my artistry and well equipped to handle myself in professional environments. The school gave me many opportunities to try different things and openned me up to styles of makeup I had never tried before. I learned many things at this school, but one of the biggest takeaways is to never give up. It's easy to feel behind or not good enough in this industry. But I learned that skill for makeup artistry is something that takes time, persistence and courage. Never give up and keep trying to best yourself. Thank you MMA.

I’m so grateful for MMA! I graduated from the sfx program, in the old building. Watching the school grow has been rad and I’m so glad I got to come back and get my estheticians edu & education! The current instructors are passionate, the school has a big focus on sanitation and safety procedures, and unlike a lot of programs they teach business courses, media, and walk you through state prep and registering for the exam which helps so much during a stressful process.

I love Multimedia Makeup Academy, the school has many opportunities and a great esthetics program. I loved being apart of the special effects class and making amazing friends. The staff is supportive and great to talk to for advice, I love Nicole, Jen, Crystal, and Christina. They made the best impact on the artist I am today!

I went to multimedia for 4 years and it was the best 4 years of my life. The atmosphere is so welcoming and fun. The staff is great. They are so welcoming, helpful and friendly. If you have a question they will do anything and everything in their power to help you find the answer. MMA gives you a-lot of opportunities to grow as an artist as well. The students are amazing as well. There’s no drama or anything like there. Which is great. The instructors always give positive feedback. Even if the work you did wasn’t your best they tell you in a non negative way. If you’re looking to starting your career in makeup I highly recommend MMA. MMA will forever hold a place in my heart. Thank you for helping me become the artist I am today.

I am a recent graduate from MMA and I have nothing but great things to say about this school. I was looking to get my esthetician license, but after visiting 3 different schools MMA stood out the most. They have highly knowledgeable instructors that share their tips and tricks to be successful in the real world. What they offer is above and beyond any other school I’ve looked into. I was convinced when I saw the amazing makeup work in media & special fox! I wasn’t disappointed!! The staff is incredibly supportive of your unique goals and will do everything they can to help you get there. I feel confident and prepared to start my journey in esthetics! I can’t thank Crystal, Nicole, Demi, Jen, Sarah, Bianca, and Christina enough for everything they taught me 🤍🤍 I’m so proud to be a MMA alumni!
