Lorenzo Hill – A recent graduate of Seattle Beauty Academy’s Esthetics Course
Lorenzo didn’t just complete a program at Seattle Beauty Academy — he showed up from the very first day ready to work, ready to learn, and ready to prove that skincare is for everyone.
“My experience at SBA is top notch,” he wrote. “The instructors were really hands on with teaching and instructing. From day one, and I do mean DAY ONE, I was working and learning a new skill set and on my way to becoming a licensed esthetician.”
Marisol— A Nail Technician in Seattle and SBA’s former student
Marisol’s journey began with determination and a dream. Her instructor, Ms. Yazmin Martinez, provided personalized guidance — translating manicure tools and product names, explaining techniques in Spanish, and walking her through every step of exam preparation. Today, Marisol works in a multicultural salon in Seattle, serving clients in both Spanish and English.
Stories like Angelica’s and Marisol’s are not the exception at Seattle Beauty Academy — they are the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.
