Loved the Makeup Program and I’m excited to continue into the Cosmetology course as well! The instructors, Toni and Sarah, were so kind, supportive, and encouraging throughout the entire experience. They created such a welcoming environment and truly cared about helping students grow and succeed. I learned so much and always felt motivated and comfortable in class. I’m really grateful for my experience here and would definitely recommend this academy to anyone interested in beauty education!

Wonderful students all. Sophisticated and professional. Very attractive new salon space . Supervisor/teacher is an active Hair Stylist in high end Salon in Fairfield County. He is constantly watching/evaluating/critiquing and demonstrating all the skills and techniques required to get licensure in Cosmetology. George "does not just tell the students how to do something, he will show us how to execute with thoroughness and detail". You will always leave SONO Academy not only looking great, but also having had a nice experience with all the focused, engaged and motivated students.
