    I just completed the 100-hour Lash and Brow Tech program at PIA Institute, and I can’t recommend it enough! Taking the course with Jamie in her English class was an incredible experience. The smaller class sizes made a huge difference — with fewer students, Jamie is able to give each person the attention and guidance they need to truly excel.

    Jamie is absolutely amazing! Her passion for lash extensions and brows is undeniable, and it really shows in the way she teaches. She’s fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making even the most detailed techniques easy to understand. Jamie genuinely cares about her students’ success — she provides you with all the tools, knowledge, and support you need to feel confident and prepared in this industry. If you’re considering a career in lash and brow tech, this program is 100% worth it. I walked away feeling confident and ready to take on clients, and it’s all thanks to Jamie and PIA Institute!

    The best school!! PIA Institute changed my life without a doubt, the education was as it should be, I had the opportunity to go to another school since the distance from Pia Institute to my location is very long. But I do not regret it, it was the best decision, I invite you to live the experience, more than anything it is a bilingual school which is not so easy to find and with such nice people! Live the experience, PIA Institute is more than a bilingual school

    This school has been very good to me so far, it is an incredible opportunity for spanish speaking students as they offer their esthetician program fully in spanish.
