"My experience at Lu Ross has been wonderful. Starting the Makeup program was a bit scary for me as I haven’t been to school for 25 years. –Wow! This was fun. The teacher is a kick! Holly was colorful, approachable, professional and very interested in her all her students’ success in the Makeup field.”

Being a Hairstylist, I always felt like I needed more things to grow and now with this program, I haven’t only expanded to Makeup, but also in photography and modeling. It has motivated me to grow as an individual. Now I feel very comfortable doing any makeup and can get creative.”
