Great price had an amazing experience at Top Secret Beauty Academy. The education goes far beyond just preparing you for the state board! Mrs. Annie truly challenges you and makes sure you’re ready for real success in the industry. The class environment is professional, supportive, and absolutely worth every penny. What stood out the most to me is the level of care even after graduation. She continues to check in, offer guidance, and has become a true mentor. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely stays in your corner and is always willing to help you research, grow, and succeed, whether you’re a current student or a graduate. If you’re serious about becoming an esthetician and want more than the bare minimum, I highly recommend this academy.

Great price I had a very positive experience at my beauty school. The instructors were dedicated, patient, and always willing to help students understand both theory and practical techniques. The school gave me valuable hands-on experience and helped me build confidence in esthetics and manicuring. I especially appreciated the focus on sanitation, professionalism, and preparation for the state board exam. The environment encouraged learning, discipline, and personal growth. I am grateful for everything I learned and for the support I received during my training. This experience gave me a strong foundation for my future in the beauty industry.

I attended the esthiology program from 2024-2025. My experience here was nothing short of amazing. The instructors here make sure to know their students and how they learn. Prior to this I had attended another local school where I felt I was not acquiring the necessary skills to pass state board. Here, I was fully confident in my abilities to pass, and had no reservations about how I was prepared for this. The instructors here will ensure you are ready before you leave. I cannot recommend this school enough!

This school is a 10/10. I never thought learning would be so fun! Throughout my school journey, I have learned so much, the instructor is very helpful. I moved all the way from Detroit to Houston just to enroll and I haven’t had any regrets! Put it this way—if I could stay longer, I WOULD! I’d recommend this school to everyone. Environment is very friendly, intimate, clean and knowledgeable. I know this school has molded me into a very successful esthetician. Thank you Top Secret Beauty Academy for an amazing experience!

Recently graduated and soon to be licensed thanks to Ms.Annie and the team at Top Secret Beauty Spa Academy. At TSBSA the instructors (Ms.Annie) provide 100% support and dedication to their students and create environment that encourages you to build your path in esthetics, lashing, or nails and being a successful in the beauty industry with educating you on life skills, theory, and state board. Without a doubt will help you find any answer to any question you have and give you the help you need. I couldn’t have chosen a better school to take my esthetics course. So many great things to say about Top Secret Beauty Spa Academy!

I graduated from TSBSA back in May of this year and received my esthetician license 2 weeks ago! My experience at the school was truly amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! Ms. Annie was very attentive and the curriculum was tailored to my learning needs..the classroom setting was intimate and if you needed one on one attention, that was given. I was challenged as a student to do the very best without feeling pressured..I truly appreciate Ms Annie, Ms Niecy and the entire school for the amount of work they put into the students..My expectations were definitely exceeded!
