Bridal Testimonials         Sample letter from one of our brides

• * I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you what a wonderful job Oneida did for my wedding.  She was an absolute joy to work with and all of us looked great.  I was over-joyed.  She was fabulous.  Thank you so much for arranging all of this.

• * I got married in New Jersey on October 24, 2004 and had one of your makeup artists Catrice do my hair and makeup.  I wanted to say that she did a fabulous job, and I had a great time interacting with her.  She was on time for both the trial session and on the wedding day, and what's very important, she listened to me and did what I asked with my makeup.  So I'd like to thank you and her for helping me make my wedding day so wonderful.  I will be happy to recommend your agency to all my friends.    New Jersey
• * It was wonderful to be able to relax and not have to worry about having a bad hair day.  My make-up and hair was great & made my wedding photos look fabulous!  Getting ready was fun, not stressful, thanks to you!

• * Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with my make-up and hair. I received so many compliments on how I looked.  I also appreciated you allowing me to change plans at the last minute, and also for your patience during the hurricane craziness.  I was very happy with your work and will be recommending you and your company in the future. Thank you again for everything.

Corporate Testimonials              Sample letter from our students

• * I'd just like to thank you and your team for your excellent work at the (AADE) American Association of Diabetes Educators in Louisville, Kentucky on behalf of our client, Bayer.
• From the moment of set-up, right through to the end, you showed a level of professionalism, adaptability and stamina (those long days on your feet!) that greatly contributed to the success of the event. My client was very impressed, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from them again!
• Thanks again - it was a pleasure working with you.
  Sincerely, Mike K., President Healthcare Marketing Resources Worldwide
• * It was exciting and enjoyable having Gayle give makeovers to our female residents. She really brightened up their day. Your "look good - feel good" philosophy really makes the difference in their self image and spirit.  As usual after one of your programs, our residents were asking, "When are you coming back?" We'd love for you to schedule a color analysis and makeover during another social hour activity as soon as possible.  Marlene, we would highly recommend your services and programs for any organization or facility like ours, or any group who wants to feel better about themselves and have fun doing it. Thanks again,
  Natalie F., Director Resident Services, North Oaks Life Care Community

Academy Testimonials           Sample letter from our students

• * This is Erica, a student from last weeks class.  I just wanted to personally thank you for the awesome, educational, intense course.  I learned so much, from skin care to creating facial illusions.  I have all the information I need to finish my portfolio.  My skills have enhanced dramatically.  I would be more than honored to do a wedding with you.  Keep me in mind.
  Erica - Maryland
• * I am very happy that we were taught everything we were promised and then some! I am pleased with the lessons on everything from natural to dramatic looks. The opinion of a professional photographer was also very helpful.
  Amy H. - Maryland
• * The course taught more than makeup, I also learned good work ethic and how to approach and work with different people. Wish the course went on much longer but I give it an A.
  Chika E. - Charlottesville, Virginia
• * Just wanted to let you know that I had a great time in class. I really learned a lot. The class was worth every penny and three days of vacation time.
  Kelly C. - Maryland

• * Marlene - thank you very much - you and Kristin are excellent makeup artists. I learned so much in your class - various looks, color correcting, techniques, etc. No one has ever taught me in this manner - you are just like family to me - big sisters! Love & Bless You,
  Noushaba S., Maryland
• * Four days went by fast but I learned a lot. I feel more confident in providing makeovers for clients. I have had my license for two years but have not made it useful; I am looking forward to doing so now. Thanks a bunch,
  Irina R., Alexandria, VA
• * I came to this class with some faded knowledge in the field, hoping to not only refresh my memories but to learn something new. Four days later, I leave this wonderful class with Marlene and Kristin with all my expectations plus much more. A wonderful class - intense but great! Hope I can use this all back in Norway. Thank you so much!
  Daniella K. - Maryland and Norway
• * I enjoyed the class very much. After going to a five week school to earn my license, I still felt very unsure of myself and techniques. However, this 4 day training made me feel very confident in what I was doing and seeing the end result. I did a natural look on Kristin and for the first time, I was so happy with the result that I wanted to show off my work! I am very interested in any additional course you may offer.
  Daniella K. - Maryland
• * Thank you very much. I learned a lot…the experience, the attitude, the technique. The best class I ever had.
  Cindy T. - Maryland
• * I am very happy and grateful to be in your class. I've learned a lot within 4 days. I feel like I have learned more in 4 days than in a whole year in regular cosmetology school! Thanks for being so helpful and patient with me.

• * I loved it! Learned so much about dramatic, romantic, classy, sporty looks. I can't believe you can change looks in 10 minutes. This is amazing! Marlene was great and so was Kristin. I will definitely be back for additional courses. Would recommend this training!
  Theresa W. - Columbia, MD
• * I have enjoyed and learned a great deal of techniques. I feel confident when dealing with concealers, eye liners, etc. I also enjoyed the participation.
  Tabitha P. - Maryland
• * The advanced makeup class exceeded my expectations. Even though it was difficult and fast paced, I feel that I truly now have a much better eye and self-confidence. Both Marlene and Kristin were very professional and shared their expertise and tips in a very organized format. The only problem - it had to end!

• * I wanted to send a thank you to you and also Christina.  I can hardly believe all I learned in four days.  I really appreciate the way you managed the make up class.  The air and attitude you presented was superb.  What you said the last day truly touched me.  You genuinely thanked us and considered working with us an honor.  To me, that says a lot about the type of person you are.
