Laser Training Success Stories

I attended their Laser Hair Removal Level 1 Class and learned so much!!! I've already signed up for Level 2 and can't wait to go back. My instructor was so knowledgeable and made sure to answer any and all questions.

I finished level 3 of Laser Hair Removal today. Cristina is fantastic; I'm going to miss her. She is very sweet, patient, and professional. I am so grateful for everything she has taught me.

I signed up with La Vida for my Laser Hair Removal certification and have had the smoothest and most informative experience ever! The signing-up process was easy, and the staff was always available to help.

Tuve mi primera experiencia haciendo el curso 1 de Laser , y en verdad lo recomiendo , son personas agradables y responsables.

I had an incredible experience at this laser hair removal school! La Vida. The curriculum was well-structured, providing a perfect balance of theory and hands-on training. The instructors were highly knowledgeable.

Advanced Aesthetics & Microneedling Graduates

A full day of training with Cristina at La Vida Institute on dermaplaning, microneedling, and chemical peels! She shared a wealth of knowledge on safety protocols and gave us amazing hands-on experience.

I recently took an advanced facial class that was very hands-on, which I loved! In this field as an esthetician, it’s better for me to learn that way. Chris is also phenomenal, and I will definitely be returning.

If you’re looking into advanced classes, La Vida is where you should go. Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable. Cristina and Donny are great! I’ve taken a few bundle courses and I’ve had so much fun.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a dermaplaning and chemical peel class at La Vida Aesthetic Institute, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. My instructor was incredibly knowledgeable.

I have to give La Vida Aesthetics 5 stars. So far I’ve had two different instructors, Debbie and Cristina — they are so awesome! They have provided me with so much information.

Injectable & General Training Graduates

We had Cristina as our instructor and she was awesome. Not only did she explain everything in detail, but she was also very patient with us and our models. Will definitely come back for more trainings.

This is the most informative school by far! They not only provide great education but also guide you through the industry. The director Beth, is so nice and accommodating, and Cristina makes sure to go above and beyond.

I have to recommend this institute to anyone that wants to advance their career. Cristina is amazing and so patient. I loved my class today. I’ll definitely be back soon.

I love this place. Cristina is the calmest, most polite, and most respectful instructor I've ever met. I've had the luxury of being a model for several treatments. Each time I go, I leave with an amazing result.
