“For as long as I can remember, I always loved playing with hair. I could look at someone and have a vision, oh how much better they would look if I only changed a little bit from their hair or make-up. I love to make people feel good about themselves because everyone should. By choosing Continental Academie of Hair Design, I knew they could really help me to achieve my goal, and that is exactly what they have done. Not only have I become a much better hair stylist, but a better person because of each teacher.

Every teacher brings something different and very useful to every student. Continental Academie is a great school to attend if you want to better yourself. Teachers care about your learning and they will make sure you know what you are doing. They would spend all day teaching you if you needed it. I’ve become better at everything with all their help. Dreams really do come true.” -- Galyn Helliwell

“Continental is a great environment to learn and make friends. All the teachers are very nice and will answer any questions that you have. The client interaction is amazing and helps you prepare for a salon in the future.“ -- Chelsea Haegle

“For anyone that is interested in coming to Continental Academie of Hair Design, I would tell them that it is a big decision and commitment. They have to truly be here everyday. Also, I would tell them to go and do a tour at all of the other schools and come here last so that they can really see that there is no competition, especially when it comes to the education. I would definitely recommend people to come here. You get a great education, you make life long friends, and when you get out of school, people can just tell when you are a Continental girl.” -- Katy Allen

“One of the main reasons why I picked Continental Academie of Hair Design is because my hairdresser recommended it. I also heard that if you go here, you have a much higher chance of getting a job at a salon.

It’s the best education for cosmetology around, no question about it. The teachers make sure you know what you’re doing and help you if you need it. It’s a great environment to come to every day, and I have fun while I’m here.

For anyone who is interested in going to cosmetology school, I would ask, “Have you looked at any schools yet? How about Continental? I feel it is seen as the best by stylists in a salon, and they told me that it is.” -- Stephanie Traverse

“The thing I like most about Continental is the teaching style; how in class we are able to take our time. Also, the amount of clientele that this place gets allows me to have a lot of hands on experience.” -- Katlin Tobey

“I chose to go to Continental because every hairdresser I have gone to received their education from Continental and they always do an amazing job on my hair. I decided to go here because I wanted to be as good as them! If I knew anyone who wanted to go to cosmetology school, I would tell them definitely go for it! I would absolutely recommend Continental Academie to anyone interested in school. I have never liked school, but I enjoy coming to this school. The teachers are so fun, and the classes are most of the time.” -- Kristen Liamos

“Future students should be prepared for extensive classes, homework and projects. You will know everything necessary about the field of cosmetology when you leave. It’s very hard but rewarding work. They should also be prepared for a packed salon floor. We always have clients to practice on. You will be treated as an individual and a professional and are encouraged to perform that way as well.” -- Diana Walsh

“I chose to come here because I have loved playing with hair, beauty and nails ever since I can remember. Continental was chosen by me because the staff and students are completely passionate about cosmetology. I feel the same way.

When I came to the school, they made me feel very comfortable and assured me by their actions that cosmetology was one of the great loves in their life. When I saw how much the staff members loved what they do and how happy they were to work in this field, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. It’s a great feeling to just wake up and get ready for work with excitement rather than dreading the work day ahead of you.

I love everything about the school. I love the classes, teachers and students. We are a huge family at Continental and we love to accept everyone for their individuality. You learn great things here other that just cosmetology. You learn basic ethics and how to get along with everyone in the work field, or even everywhere.” --Jeslyn Barbush

I chose Continental to make my dreams come true because I’ve always wanted to be a hairdresser. This was the school I heard about the most. I grew up in Hudson and my mother graduated from here, so it’s always been in my life. My mother was very happy as a hairdresser and met a lot of good friends in the industry. If I had to recommend anyone to go to cosmetology school, I would first ask them if they really believe it’s what they want to do and if they would really enjoy doing it. I would then recommend Continental to them because it’s a great school with a lot of great people. Although you are learning, and it is school, you’re having fun and loving it at the same time.” -- Alicia Mavengeorge
