Magic & Makeup

Make-up is ultimately magical when it comes to correcting someone’s face, enhancing natural beauty, or telling the story of someone’s life right on their face. The goal for this editorial was to showcase the transformative effects of make-up on the same model and represent five distinct characters; the warrior elf, the doll, the lady of society, the punk rocker and the girl next door.

I came in and finished the barber program in under 1 year, was licensed in less than 6 months. They will 100% get you ready for your state examinations, they focus on being prepared for stateboard from enrolling

 

I loved my time at school and my instructors!! I will forever be grateful for what they taught me and how they helped me grow into a professional. School was not easy but Im now licensed and working fulltime in a salon now and I couldnt be happier!!

If you want to learn how to do all textures and use all tools of the trade, you need to choose brown!!

I always thoroughly enjoy sitting in and hearing the instructor with her students. She is an amazing person!! Delshunda is a wonderful receptionist and stylist in her own right. Kudos to Ms. Lisa Brown for providing such a valuable resource to the community

Love how they make you feel like family

Tim was awesome! He gave me one of the smoothest clean shaven haircuts ever. Ms. Lisa Brown and the instructor are really building the next generation of talented stylists. Ms. Burns the receptionist is very sweet and helpful. I will keep coming back as much as possible to help support Ms. Brown and her miss

My student stylist MJ was professional nice and kind and made me feel comfortable with getting my ends trim as well as trusting the process while she transformed my natural curly hair to a bouncy carefree healthy looking state while wearing this beautiful silk press. She also updated me on how to maintain and care for my natural hair.

Absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend.

DEMARCO WAS GREAT! My skin felt so smooth and I was glowing all weekend.

The entire staff at Brown Beauty Barber School were fantastic! The gentleman receptionist that greeted me was very warm and considerate. Ms. Burns was equally as warm and kind. Terry my barber has some truly gifted hands. This is by far one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. Thank you Ms. Brown for giving the community this hidden treasure.

I was so please with the services I received at Brown Beauty and Barber school. I will definitely return and tell others about the outstanding services that I received.

Being a student here has changed my life, I am thankful for my instructors and classmates here! #CHOOSEBROWN
